Excerpt from The Doll That Saved an Army, an Historical Play in Four Scenes
Mary. And so General Washington is really to come to our little town. Only think of our actually seeing him!
Rho. Yes, all the town will want to see him, I'm sure. We're all loyal in this town - loyal patriots, I mean, not loyal to King George.
Susan. But I suppose he's really our king still, isn't he?
Reb. Indeed he isn't, Susan - not since the Declaration of Independence. General Washington is our leader, and I pre sume he'll be our king when we've conquered, as we surely will.
Susan. But suppose he doesn't conquer? Suppose he is conquered?
