Cold Harbor

Stephenson introduces the reader to Dart, a barber and Tom, a black-guard boot polisher. These commoners reside in Cold Harbor, which is close to the English mint. Dart and Tom go to the house of Lord Hollesloy, a retired English lord and Jacobite who is under house arrest and threaten to take his life. Yeoman Clooney, Hollesloy's assistant, accompanies Tom to another location while Dart watches over the lord.
