Overview
Polly Perks cuts off her golden hair, puts on her brother’s clothes and leaves her father’s inn under the name Oliver. Her plan requires more than a disguise: because local ferrymen know her, she takes a long detour to reach a recruiting party where nobody will recognize her.
At Plün she volunteers for the Tenth Foot, the Ins-and-Outs. Jackrum welcomes the apparent patriot, while Strappi watches suspiciously. Polly signs rather than making a mark, impressing the sergeant with her literacy. The promised recruiting shilling becomes an IOU, exposing the gap between military salesmanship and reality.
