[All sing "Come Ye Lofty." At the end of
second verse a sound of great knocking,
shouting, and calls of "Open! Open!
Mistress Goodspeede." Patience and
Prudence hide behind their Mother,
Nathan stands at her side, Myles and
Roger seize sticks, and Eaglefeather
draws a small tomahawk.
Patience and Prudence. 'Tis Indians!
Roger. 'Tis no Indians, 'tis the colonists!
Myles. They've found us out!
[Noise continues.
Turner and Porter. Open! open there!
Mistress Wells. I see the light——
Desire Porter. It shines through the cracks here——
Dominie Cobb. Verily none need hope to conceal evil!
Turner [knocking louder]. Open! open!
