Excerpt from A Pageant for Independence Day
Scene I. It is a Spring evening in the year 1774. The place is a quiet street in the outskirts of Bos ton. There are no houses in sight, but a white picket fence, 0 high hedge behind it, crosses the back of the stage. In the centre is a gate with tall posts, on one of which is sitting a lame boy with a crutch. He is looking intently up the street, from which direction one can hear shouting and singing. The sound grows louder and nearer.
The boy [w avin g his cap and crutch]. Here they come! Here they come! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Here come the Liberty Boys!
