- We now find ourselves in the Stoneman library as Austin Stoneman meets Charles Sumner, leader of the senate.
- Stoneman noticeably readjusts his wig as he goes into a tirade. We think that the filmmakers want us to dislike this guy.
- Stoneman has a mixed-race housekeeper named Lydia Brown who's depicted as dainty and absent-minded. She spits at Sumner and, when he leaves, collapses to the ground.
- Stoneman enters to room and finds Lydia looking disheveled and teary-eyed. She seems to be implying that Sumner did something uncouth to her.
