TREAT
The vote is against you, Colonel.
BLIGH
Andros will come himself and attend to this affair. I wash my hands of it! He'll make you pay for this day's work—and he'll get the charter! Good day!
ALL
Good day!
ANNOUNCER
Andros did come, as Colonel Bligh had threatened, but not for several months. But when he came, he came in state, with a company of soldiers, two trumpeters, and Colonel Bligh. He intended this time to get the charter, and no mistake!
Governor Treat called the General Court to assemble on the evening of October 31, 1687, to confer with Governor Andros and make one last determined stand to retain the charter even if there was no way to retain their rights under the charter.
Our next scene is at the State House in Hartford. It is evening. The sexton is preparing the room for the meeting which is about to take place.
