WASHINGTON
(to Carey).
Aye, I am coming. (To himself.) But the merest jest! "To fight in a
great cause--!" "A long hill, and a hard, and at the summit--triumph!"
(Shaking off the spell the words have cast on him). The lads would
laugh, did I but tell them! (Calls, in answer to impatient steps, and
crackling of leaves in background.) I come!

[He makes his exit into background, running blithely, and the play
ends.


COSTUMES

GEORGE WASHINGTON. Frontiersman's suit, modeled on Indian lines. The
suit is tan-colored, supposedly made of dressed deerskin. The breeches
and tunic are fringed, Indian fashion. There is neither paint nor
beading upon the suits. Moccasins. The other lads wear suits of the
same kind. The material can be cotton khaki. The moccasins can be
made of the same, and beaded.

RED ROWAN. Dress of leaf-brown homespun made rather short, and quite
plain, open at the neck, the sleeves coming to the elbow. A cloak of
vivid scarlet, gathered in simple folds at neck, and falling to the
ankles. Both dress and cloak may be made of cambric, using the unglazed
side. Tan stockings. Moccasins. The latter may be made of cotton khaki,
and beaded.
