Now Allyn, seeing you are the clerk of the General Court, you can sit at the Governor's table without exciting suspicion.
ALLYN
Yes, Captain!
WADSWORTH
Best put your chair next the window.
ALLYN
Have you the charter?
WADSWORTH
Yes, I have it with me, and when Andros demands it I shall have to produce it.
ALLYN
Andros must not be allowed to get his hand on it.
WADSWORTH
That will be your duty.
ALLYN
Yes?
WADSWORTH
w.i.l.l.ys will be waiting outside that window, next your chair. When the candles go out, grab the charter and toss it out the window. He'll put it in a safe place.
ALLYN
Where?
WADSWORTH
You know the oak in front of his house?
ALLYN
Indeed yes!

A good fire you have in the fireplace.

I figgered to have a good fire--it's a mite chilly this evenin'.
WADSWORTH
It may get overly warm in here before the meeting is over.
s.e.xTON
Aye.
WADSWORTH
I want you to stand close to that window behind John Allyn's chair.
s.e.xTON
Yes, sir!
WADSWORTH
Don't leave it. And the moment I say, "s.e.xton, it's warm in here,"
throw open the window. You understand?
s.e.xTON
"s.e.xton, it's warm in here," throw it open. Yes, sir, I understand.
WADSWORTH
Never mind what anyone else says. Throw it open on my signal and throw it wide open.
