5 Tom and Arthur Scene ARTHUR: Who's there? Who's there? Come out, I say! (TOM, a young lad, appears from behind the tent he carries a bow.) TOM: (Frightened) Forgive me, Your Majesty. I was searching for the Sergeant of Arms and got lost. I didn't wish to disturb you. ARTHUR: Who are you, boy? Where did you come from? You ought to be in bed. Are you a page? TOM: I came to fight for the Round Table. I'm very good with the bow. ARTHUR (takes bow from him and inspects it): And do you think you will kill people with this bow of yours? TOM: Oh yes, Milord. I intend to be a Knight. ARTHUR: A Knight...? TOM: Yes, Milord. Of the Round Table. ARTHUR: When did you decide upon this nonexistent career? Was your village protected by Knights when you were a small boy? Was your mother saved by a Knight? Did your father serve a Knight? TOM: Oh, no, Milord. I only know of them. The stories people tell. ARTHUR: From the stories people tell you wish to be a Knight? What do you think you know of the Knights and the Round Table? TOM: I know everything, Milord. Might for right! Right for right! Justice for all! Everything!

6 (ARTHUR turns to the boy with a trembling inner excitement) ARTHUR: Come here, my boy. Tell me your name. TOM: It is Tom, Milord. ARTHUR: Where is your home? TOM: In Warwickshire, Milord. ARTHUR: Then listen to me, Tom of Warwickshire. You will not fight in the battle, do you hear? You will run behind the lines and hide in a tent till it is over. Then you will return to your home in England. Alive. To grow up and grow old. Do you understand? TOM: Yes, Milord. ARTHUR: And for as long as you live you will remember what I, the King, tell you; and you will do as I command. TOM: (No longer disappointed) Yes, Milord. # # # 2
