King: Because wherever I am, it is customary for but one to remain covered. (King passes on).
(Penn's father enters.)
Penn Sr.: Sir, I will not permit such conduct toward the King. Leave this place at once.
End of Act I.
ACT II.
INTRODUCTION:
After Penn's father died, the King gave Penn a grant of land in payment of a debt owed to his father. Penn invited all persecuted Christians to the colony. He gave the colonists the right to choose their own rules and to make their own laws. He also gave them land for their houses and farms.
The next act will be Penn making a treaty with the Indians.
(Indians in row—Penn and people).
Penn: (Talks to Indians). We are the same as if one man's body were divided into two parts. We are all one flesh and one blood.
