But the candles, sir--they may go out. They're right close to the window.

Never mind the candles.

s.e.xTON

Never mind them--yes, sir! [_trumpets sound outside_]

Here comes Andros. Throw open the door.

WADSWORTH

Never mind, Nathan. I'll do it. You stay by that window.

s.e.xTON

The window. Yes, sir!

WADSWORTH

Enter, Governor Andros.

ANDROS

Thank you. Governor Treat--I now call you that for the last time--will you show me to my place?

TREAT

Of course, sir. Captain Wadsworth, will you usher us to our places?

WADSWORTH

Right this way, Governor. We have arranged this place for you.

ANDROS

Thank you. Do we need all the candles here?

WADSWORTH

For you and the clerk. [_noise and confusion of members entering_]

ANDROS

Yes, yes! Of course! Treat, will you sit at my left?
