[Fletcher and Bennet ride to the de Winton Plantation]
Belle de Winton:
Beauregard! Beau... but I've been so worried about you.
Solomon 'Beauregard' Bennet:
Howdy, Belle.
[Belle gestures to Bennet to kiss her hand, which he refuses to her disappointment. Fletcher returns her gesture instead]
Solomon 'Beauregard' Bennet:
This is Brad Fletcher.
Professor Brad Fletcher:
Madame.
Belle de Winton:
Where are the others?
Solomon 'Beauregard' Bennet:
They'll get here. Where's your brother?
Belle de Winton:
He's out after a runaway slave. Ah, dear Mr. Fletcher's from the North. You looked worried hearing me say the word "slave". I suppose you'd prefer the word "servant". But a word doesn't change anything. Nobody'll ever make us change, even this... Lincoln. Our emancipator. You'll pardon, Mr. Fletcher, even if you are a Yankee - because you came here with our Beauregard. And you're a gentleman, too.
[Fletcher is flattered]
Belle de Winton:
You're blushing!
Professor Brad Fletcher:
[nervously, to Bennet]
But, I...
Belle de Winton:
We're happy to have you as a guest here... in the ancestral mansion of the de Wintons.
