Giselle made enough from the thrown gratuities to buy her freedom. There wasn’t a lot left, but this she gave to one or two of the others who had been kind to her while she had been with them. Giselle didn’t need the money to get back to friendly lines and safety.
She was given a guide who had been at the performance. He politely didn’t comment on what she had done. But helped her to concoct a plausible story for her de-brief while he led her through the jungle. Giselle left the Army as soon as she was able and disappeared from society. The villagers still take about the white woman who fucks horses. There was some talk of an American woman who had set up somewhere in the delta, but nothing was really known of her.
