Baker & Co. ©Git] 501 AUG 13 1918 Finding the Mayflowers PROLOGUE SCENE. — Grandfather's study. Curtain rises to music — Mendelssohn's " Spring-Song." (Grandfather is seated writing at a table covered with books and papers. He takes off his spectacles, blows on them and wipes them with his handkerchief. Dorothy trips in behind him, and puts her hands over his eyes. Music stops. ) Dorothy. Good-morning, Grandpa ; guess who is here. Grandfather. Why, bless my soul ! I'm caught this time, sure enough. I wonder who it can be. Dorothy. You can't guess. Tra-la-la-la-la ! Grandfather. That sweet voice sounds like my friend, Mr. Song-sparrow. Dorothy (pats his cheek with one hand, keeping the other hand over his eyes). No, no! Song-sparrows would not give your cheek a nice soft pat like this. Grandfather. Then it must be Miss Pussy Willow with her gray fur mittens. Dorothy (dangling a curl over Grandfather's nose). Pussy-willows do not have long curls to tickle you. One more guess. Grandfather. Oh, it must be Mrs. Corn-tassel. She has long, silky hair. Dorothy. No, no, no ! Tassels do not grow on the corn until summer time, and now it is only April. You will have to give it up, Grandpa. 3 4 FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS (She takes her hand from his eyes, and comes for- ward. ) Grandfather. Why, it is Dorothy! I never would have thought of her. How are you this morning, my dear ? Dorothy. Nicely, thank you, Grandpa. Here are some flowers which I brought for you. (She takes the flowers from her belt and lays them on the table. Grandfather puts on his spectacles, holds the flowers close to his eyes and examines them. ) Grandfather. Oh, yes. A very pretty flower. I know the name of it, — let me see. (He opens a big book and turns the pages.) Yes, here it is. (Reads from the book.) "Heath family — epigea re pens " Dorothy (in disgust). Gra-andpa! Grandfather (reading). " common name, trail- ing arbutus." Dorothy. Why, Grandpa, they are Mayflowers. Grandfather. And why do you call them May- flowers, my dear, when it is only April now? Dorothy. Well, that is what the Pilgrims called them, long, long ago, when they found them in the woods in Plymouth, because they looked so much like the May- flowers they used to have at their old homes in England. Our teacher read us such an interesting story about it. Shall I tell it to you, Grandpa? Grandfather. Yes, I should be very glad to hear it. Dorothy (drazving up a chair, and sitting dozvn). Well, there were three little Puritan girls : — Faith Aller- ton, and Hope Allerton, and Charity Allerlon. Grandfather. " Faith, Hope and Charity," eh ? And what about them ? Dorothy. And once they were all sitting together in their house at Plymouth. Faith was knitting, Hope was spinning, and little Charity was sewing on a sampler. And (Grandfather, not interested in the story, is looking over his books and papers.) Why, Grandpa, you are not listening to me. There, you must take off your FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS 5 glasses, and shut your eyes. (She takes off his spec- tacles. ) I am going to begin the story all over again, and this time I shall tell it so well that you will see it, just as it really happened. (Curtain closes.) (Music: "America." Curtain rises again on interior of the Allertons' home. Window at back of the stage, c. ; fireplace at r. of window; table at r. of fireplace; spinning-wheel in front of window, a little to the l. Hope sits by wheel, spinning, Faith sits at l. of Hope, knitting, Charity at r. of Hope, sewing. Vacant chair at r. of Charity.) Faith. How bright the sunshine is to-day. Hope. And the air is so soft and warm. I do wish that Mother would let us go out to play. Charity. Perhaps she will, if we ask her. All Three. Mother! Mother! Mother! (Mistress Allerton enters from the r. The daugh- ters rise and curtsey.) Mistress Allerton. Why, my children, what means this unseemly clamor? Hope. Mother, can we go out on the beach for a little while ? Mistress Allerton. And leave your work? Why, most certainly not. You all have a great deal to do yet before you finish the tasks which I set for you. Faith. But I am so tired of knitting. Hope. And I hate spinning. Mistress Allerton. Then you will have to learn to like it. Here in this new world there is no time for any one to be idle. Over in dear old England it was different. There, there were shops and servants, and one could buy their cloth by the yard and hire their garments made. But in this wild country every bit of work must be done by our own hands, and children have to do their part as well as older people. Even little Charity must sew on her sampler and practice all the fine stitches so that some 6 FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS day she will become a skillful needle-woman, and be able to make nice warm shirts for Father. ( Takes sampler from Charity, examines it, and gives it back, patting her on the head. Then she takes a bowl from the table and covers it with a napkin.) Faith. Are you going 1 out, Mother? Mistress Allerton. Only over to see Mistress Wins- low to carry her this bowl of gruel. When I come back I expect to find you all as busy as bees, and then how proud of you I shall be. [Exit, l. of stage. Children. Yes, Mother. (They each drop a curtsey as Mistress Allerton goes out.) Hope. Oh, bother! We never can have any fun. I wish I were a boy. Faith. A boy? Hope. Yes. Then I could take Father's gun and go off in a sailboat and shoot wild ducks. Charity. Oh, I would rather be a rabbit and run in the woods. Faith. Well, I care nothing about being a rabbit or a boy either. I am quite satisfied to be a girl. But sometimes I wish I were not a Puritan girl. I would love to wear bright colored dresses and dance around the May-pole, the way that we used to see some people do in England. Hope. Dance around the May-pole! Why, Faith Allerton, you wicked, wicked creature ! (Knock at the door, l. Enter Dame Hopkins, limp- ing with a cane.) Dame Hopkins. Good-morrow, young maidens. (Children rise and curtsey.) Hope. ) ^ i Charity, f Good-morrow. Faith. Good-morrow, Dame Hopkins. Mother is not at home. She has gone to inquire how Mistress FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS J Winslow is recovering from the fever, and to carry her a bowl of gruel. Will you sit down and wait? Dame Hopkins. Nay, nay. I too am on my way to Mistress Winslow's, and I will join your mother there. But yes, I will sit and rest me for a minute. My old limbs are not so active as they used to be, and the walk from my cottage here made me somewhat weary. (Sits down and gives a sigh of weariness.) But what was this I overheard as I came to the door? Some one accusing Faith of some monstrous wicked thing? Hope. Why, yes, Mistress Hopkins. She was saying she would like to dance around a May-pole. Dame Hopkins {holding up her hands in horror). Alas ! Alas ! Girl, may your soul be turned from such evil desires. Faith. Why, surely there can be no great harm in it. Dame Hopkins. Nay, nay. It is a heathen practice. There will not be any May-poles in Plymouth Colony. Faith. Oh, but Dame Hopkins, did you never dance and have good times when you were a girl ? Dame Hopkins. Oh, I will not tell ye all the things I did when / was a girl. CH^Tv.foMotellu, Hope. What did you do on May-day ? Dame Hopkins. Well, we had a very praiseworthy custom, which you might imitate here in Plymouth. We used to go into the woods and gather the spring flowers, and fill our baskets with them to carry to the old people and the sick. Charity. But there are no flowers here. Hope. Mother says that this is a barren, desolate country, and she does not believe that flowers ever grow here. Faith. But Father says that it is only because the spring comes so much later in America than it does in England. He says that there will be flowers here, but that it will be many weeks yet before the first ones appear. Dame Hopkins (tapping on the floor with her cane). Tut, tut! Mistress Faith. Your father is a very wise man, a very wise man. But I have lived in the world a 8 FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS few more years than he has, and I know a few things which he does not know, and / say that the first flowers are here now. Children {jumping up). Now? Oh, where did you see them? Dame Hopkins. Well, I didn't see them Children (falling back into their chairs). Oh! Dame Hopkins. But I could smell them. This after- noon as I was coming through the forest path I noticed a fragrant odor that reminded me of the spring flowers that grow on the hedges in England. I searched for a while in the underbrush, but my old eyes are not what they used to be, and I could not see what I was after. But I knozv that buried somewhere among the dead leaves there are fair young blossoms, and I will give this six- pence to the maiden who first finds them and puts them in my hands. (Rises and hunts in her bag for the sixpence.) Children (clapping their hands). Oh, a sixpence! A sixpence ! Cliarity. What shall we do with it? Hope. Send it to England when the ship sails, to buy something. Charity. We will buy taffy. Faith. No, we will buy something for Mother. Dame Hopkins. Not so fast! Not so fast, young damsels. You must earn your prize before you spend it. (Going out as she speaks.) Remember! This six- pence for the first one who puts the flowers in my hand. [Exit. Hope. Let us hurry into the forest before any one else gets there. Faith. But Mother said that we must not go out. Hope. Oh, that was when I asked her if we could go out on the beach. She did not say that we could not go into the woods. Faith. I think she meant that we could not go out at all until she came back. Hope. Well, I shall go anyway. You can stay here if you want to. Come on, Charity. [Exeunt Hope and Charity, l. FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS 9 Faith (stands looking after them). It was very wrong of them to go, when Mother said that we had to stay in the house. Father will be angry with them, too, when he finds that they have been so disobedient. (Sighs.) Well, I suppose that I will have to go on with this knitting. (Sits down in the center of the stage and takes up knitting.) Who would have dreamed that there were flowers blooming in the woods now. (Knock at the door, l. ) Come in! Enter Prudence Brewster, l., zvith her hands folded primly. Prudence (curtseys sedately). Good-morrow, Cousin Faith. Faith (jumping up). Why, Prudence Brewster, I am glad to see you. Pray be seated. Prudence. No, I did not come to stay. Dame Hop- kins has just been at our house, and she says that she is sure that there are flowers growing under the leaves by the forest path, and she will give a sixpence to the one who first picks some for her. So I have come to get you to go out with me. Faith. Yes, I know. Dame Hopkins was here only a few minutes ago, and Hope and Charity have already run off to the woods to hunt for the flowers, — although Mother has forbidden us all to go away from the house this afternoon. Prudence. Oh, what wicked girls, to disobey your mother. / would not think of doing anything my parents had told me not to do. But it is all right for me to go into the woods, for my mother said that I might go. Faith (sitting down) . Well, I am sorry that I cannot go with you. Prudence. Yes, I am sorry, too, for I never like to go into the forest alone, for fear of the Indians. Faith. Why, the Indians will not harm you. They have been very kind to us. Chief Massasoit has given my father many presents of skins and deer-meat, and last week he sent him some Indian corn and promised to show us how to plant it. Prudence. Yes, I know that some of the Indians have 10 FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS been friendly, but my father says that they are beginning now to fear that the white men will get their land away from them, and he thinks there will be trouble with them some time. That is why I did not want to go into the forest alone. But I suppose I must risk it, for I cannot give up my chance of earning that sixpence. (Moving nearer Faith.) Did Dame Hopkins show it to you? It is a bright, shiny sixpence. Faith (knitting busily, without looking up). Yes, I saw it. Prudence. Wouldn't you like to have it? / would. Faith (with dignity). The Bible says "The love of money is the root of all evil." Prudence. Yes, but I do not want the money for myself. I shall send it to England when the ship sails, to buy a present for my father. Faith (forgetting to be dignified). No, I shall send it to buy something for my mother. Prudence. But you cannot send it unless you earn it, and you cannot earn it because your mother has not given you permission to go into the woods to hunt for the flowers. Faith. Oh — no Prudence. - You see, it is different with me, for my mother told me that / might go. Faith (crossly). Yes, you said that once before. Prudence. You seem to be getting cross, Cousin Faith, so I think that I will not stay with you any longer. Good-bye. [Exit, l. Faith (haughtily). Good-bye, Cousin Prudence. (Looking after her.) Oh, I wish I had gone with her. I cannot bear it to think that all the children are out in the woods picking flowers this beautiful afternoon and I have to stay at home and knit. And some one will win that sixpence. Oh, Pruclence! (Rushes to the door.) Prudence! Wait a minute. (Prudence comes running in l.) Prudence. Why, what is the matter, Cousin Faith? Faith (excitedly). Oh, Prudence, I think that I had better go with you. You see, you are afraid of the FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS II Indians, and you ought not to go into the woods alone. And I am not one bit afraid of Indians, and I ought to go with you to protect you. Prudence. But your mother said Faith. Yes, but she had not thought about the In- dians then. If she were here now, I am sure that she would say that I ought to go into the forest to protect you, — and Hope and Charity, while you are all picking the flowers. You know you are afraid of Indians, and I am not. Prudence (slowly). Yes, I am afraid of the Indians. But I am more afraid of what my conscience would say to me if I were to lead you into temptation. If your mother told you to stay at home, I think it is your duty to stay. (Moving backward through the door.) Of course, what she said does not concern me, for my mother told me that / might go. [Exit. Faith (stamping her foot angrily). Well, go then! — The idea of Prudence Brewster preaching at me like that. What right has she to preach? (In a mocking tone.) " Her conscience," and " My duty." " Did not wish to lead me into temptation." " Her mother told her that she might go." (Takes out her handkerchief, and wipes her eyes.) Oh, I hate these goody-goody girls. I just hate them. (Throws handkerchief angrily across the room. Slow music begins. Wolomona opens the window at back of stage, looks in cautiously, then bashfully draws back.) What was that noise? (Looks toward the win- dow; Wolomona opens door l. and peeps in, then dodges back. Faith looks toward the door.) I am sure that I heard something. (Music faster. Faith tiptoes about the room, anxiously.) There is some one outside. What if it should be Indians? Oh, dear, what would I do? (The door opens. Faith, seeing Wolomona standing in the doorzvay, screams and rushes wildly around the room. Music very fast.) Oh, the Indians are here. I am so afraid!. Oh !— Oh ! (Wolomona enters slowly and bashfully. Music stops.) Why !— it is only a little Indian girl. Isn't she sweet? I wonder if she speaks English. Wolomona (pointing toward Faith) . Pretty! 12 FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS Faith. "Pretty?" — I? (Shaking her head.) Oh, no. You are the one who is pretty. Wolomona (pointing at Faith). Good. Faith. "Good?" No, I am not good. I have just been as cross and horrid as I could be. . Wolomona (holding out her arms toward Faith). Love. Faith. " Love ? " Why, how many English words she knows. And they seem to be such nice words, too. Wolomona (holding out a basket toward Faith). Wolomona give. Faith. For me? (Takes the basket, dropping a curtsey.) Oh, they are flowers. How very fragrant. They must be the flowers that Dame Hopkins wanted us to find. Did you get them in the forest? (Points. Wolomona nods her head, points in the same direction, then waves her hand toward the ground.) Growing low on the ground ? Under the leaves ? Oh, how they make me think of the Mayflowers that bloom on the hedges in England. (Lifts flowers from the basket. Enter Mis- tress Allerton and Dame Hopkins, l. Faith rushes to them.) Mistress Hopkins! Mistress Hopkins, here are your flowers. The little Indian girl brought them to me. Mistress Allerton. Well, well! Dame Hopkins told me that she thought there were flowers growing in the forest, but I could not believe we should see them so soon. (They stand looking at the flowers.) Why, where are your sisters, Faith? Faith. They have gone off to the woods, Mother. Mistress Allerton. When I told them they were not to leave the house while I was gone? How could they be so disobedient? Dame Hopkins. Do not be angry with them, Neigh- bor Allerton. I did not know that the children had been forbidden to go out, or I would not have tempted them by offering a prize for the flowers. Mistress Allerton. You need not excuse them, Mistress Hopkins. Hope and Charity are both old enough to bear the blame for their own wrong-doing. I shall go out and bring them in at once. ' [Exit, L.. FINDING THE MAYFLOWERS 13 Damp. Hopkins. Here is your sixpence, Faith. I know that you will spend it wisely. Faith. Oh, you must give it to this little Indian girl. It was she who found the flowers. Dame Hopkins. A sixpence would not mean any- thing to her. See, I will give her these bright colored beads. {Takes beads from her bag and gives them to Wolomona, who Jwlds them up admiringly , and winds them around her wrist.) But the money shall be yours, Faith, according to my promise, for you were the girl who put the flowers in my hand. Faitpi {dropping a curtsey, as she takes the money). I thank you. Enter Mistress Allerton, \^.,leading Hope and Charity, Prudence following. Cpiarity is crying, with her apron over her eyes. Hope breaks azvay from Mis- tress Allerton and runs forward, l. Hope. Oh, where did those flowers come from ? We hunted everywhere in the woods, and we could not find a single one. Mistress Allerton {drawing Hope back). You see what comes of being such naughty children. Your sister remained at home as I told her to, and through the kind- ness of this little Indian girl it was she, and not you, who could give the beautiful flowers to Dame Hopkins. Now I shall make you each stand in a corner, to punish you for going into the woods without my permission. {Places them each in a comer, back to the room.) Prudence. / have not been disobedient. My mother told me that / might go. Faith. Well, my mother told me that / might stay at home, and I think that home is the best place, after all. CURTAIN NOTE For the Indian music the " Navajo March/' {price, 30 cents), by Egbert Van Alstyne was used. Two New Prompt Books Edited by GRANVILLE BARKER THE WINTER'S TALE By William. Shakespeare An acting edition tuith a producers preface by Granville Barker With Costume Designs by Albert Rothenstein As produced by Lillah McCarthy at the Savoy Theatre^ London An admirable stage version of this play suitable for school performance, if desired, under simplified conditions as to scenery. Mr. Rothenstein's illustrations contain many helpful suggestions as to costuming. Price, 25 cents TWELFTH NIGHT By William Shakespeare An acting edition 'with a producer 's preface by Granville Barker With Illustrations and Costume Designs by Norman Wilkinson As produced at the Savoy Theatre^ London^ by Lillah McCarthy Uniform in appearance and style with the above and similarly helpful for performance by amateurs as well as by professional talent. Price, 25 cents Mr. Barker's " producer's prefaces " are a trial step in the direction of providing less experienced actors and managers of the great plays with the results of an expert consideration of them from an acting standpoint. Like Miss Fogerty's admirable work in connection with the five plays listed elsewhere, they are designed not merely to answer the questions that must arise but to put the inexperienced producer into such a relation with the text that his own intelligence will be able to cope with his prob- lem without help or suggestion. One learns how a man like Mr. Barker approaches a play with the idea of staging it, and so how another may do the same thing. In this they will be seen to be truly and genuinely educational as well as merely helpful. Sent postpaid by mail on receipt of price Walter H. Baker & Co. 5 5 Hamilton Place BOSTON, MASS.
