The sole is split--the notes are inside it!
HALE
Good! That's an excellent idea!
SIMON
Slickest thing ye ever see. And it's my own idea!
HALE
I wonder if you could hide some notes I've gathered in the same way?
SIMON
O' course I could. I'll resole both boots. Give me yer notes.
HALE
Here they are. [_rattle of paper_]
SIMON
Pshaw, now--what kind o' writin' is this?
HALE
It's Latin. I thought if they were discovered on me--
SIMON
O' course--no soldier--that is, no redcoat could read that furrin writin'. Well, I'll put it where they'll never find it. Here--right in this sole. Now sit down there and pull yer boots off an' I'll fix 'em up fer ye.
HALE
Good! It's an excellent hiding place. Here you are.
SIMON
Yer a schoolmaster, I take it from the looks o' ye?
HALE
That's what I've been pa.s.sing for.
SIMON
Now, where's that awl? Oh, here it is. And what name be ye usin'
hereabouts?
HALE
Call me Master Nathan. [_knock_]
SIMON
Oh, someone at the door.
HALE
Had I better hide?
SIMON
No, no! 'tis better that ye sit right over there in the dark corner. Ye look innocent enough. Come in!
DREW [_coming in_]
Good morning, Simon.
SIMON
Good morrow to ye, Lieutenant Drew! I've got yer boots all finished fer ye.
DREW
Right! You're hard at work, I see.
SIMON
Always hard at work, Lieutenant. Here are yer boots. I'll wrap them up fer ye.
DREW [_low_]
Who's that gentleman over there?
SIMON [_low_]
A customer--I'm fixin' his boots.
DREW
Know him?
SIMON
Never set eyes on him before.
DREW
