In part one, my friend Lady Bladie portrayed a lonely Civil War-era woman awaiting the return of her illicit lover, a man of considerable rank in the War. For the sake of mystery, he remains unnamed in this series, but I know who he is. Sometime after part one of the series, Ms. Bladie's character gave birth to an illegitimate son by this man. The son would've been about a year old at the time of his father's death in the War, and for part two, set about five years later, she spends a day in Harpers Ferry WV with her son, where the War essentially began. The son is now about six years old, and is portrayed by my own son Connor.
