Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Turncoat or Parson Peter: A Play in Four Acts Interior of the house of Noah Sutton at Norristown, a few miles from Valley Forge. Time, October, 1777. Noah Sutton, a member of the Pennsylvania Militia, has been fighting with Washington, but has returned home, after being wounded. He is anxious to be well and wild to be off again to rejoin Washington. The scene of the first act is in the dining room of the Sutton homestead., a comfortable house on the outskirts of the town. The Suttons are well off and the room is furnished with substantial Colonial mahogany. As the curtain rises, Dorothy Sutton, a pretty girl of nineteen or twenty, is setting the table for the evening meal. A moment after, the outside door opens, and Noah Sutton comes into the room. Dorothy (running towards her father). Any news, father? Mr. Sutton. Yes. A mounted man passed the cross roads this noon and stopped at Hurlbut´s for a fresh horse. They met again at German town - Dorothy. And we won? Sutton, (fiercely). No, we didn´t: curse it. The man said it was Washington´s fault, but I don´t believe it - some blithering young idiot that Congress has been making an officer, Ill be bound - Dorothy (significantly). Or else Gates was somewhere about. Sutton. The messenger was on his way with despatches to Congress. (With a sob.) We lost almost 700 men, and 400 more made prisoners. A few more meetings like this and well have no army left. (Mrs. Sutton enters. She is a comely matron with a white cap and pretty grey hair, and though a patriot, does not share the ardor of her husband and daughter.)
