Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rose McCrea Scene First. (A farm-house kitchen, April 19, 1775. Mrs. Brown, a middle-aged lady; Annie Brown, a young lady; Johnny Brown, a boy fourteen years of age; William Lucas, a young man. Mrs. Brown kneading bread; Annie Brown wiping dishes. A loud knock at the door, which is opened by Johnny. William Lucas enters in a hurried manner and says): Where is Farmer Brown? (Mrs. Brown comes forward with her hands and apron covered with flour, and answers): He has gone down to plough the tenacre lot near Stony Brook. But what´s the matter, William? I heard the bells ringing before light this morning. William Lucas. Matter? Matter enough! Why, the British came on from Boston last night and have been fighting up to Lexington this morning. They meant to surprise us, but Paul Revere was over to Charlestown watching for the signal-light, and as quick as he saw it he rode all the way through to Concord, rousing all the minute-men on the road, so there were sixty or seventy waiting to receive the redcoats at Lexington. Mrs. Brown. Were there many British soldiers there, William? William Lucas. Oh, yes! There were hundreds of them. Colonel Pitcairn led them, and when he met the minute-men at the turn of the road he cried out in a lofty tone: "Throw down your arms and disperse, you rebels!" But our fellows didn´t obey him, so he brandished his sword and fired a pistol. Then his men shouted and fired. Annie Brown. Oh dear me! I hope they didn´t hurt anybody. William Lucas with emotion). They killed seven and hurt nine more, and are now marching on towards Concord. All the minute-men are called out instantly, so I came after Farmer Brown. Mrs Brown. Here, Johnny! Go down and tell your father to come home as quick as he can. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
