Kirkland and his wife, Comfort,
become the victims of much heat
ed discussion when their sweet and
innocent daughter, Prudence, is
suspected of being a party to the
rather questionable custom of
bundling.
Rev. Lyman Banks expresses
himself most definitely concerning
this custom, accusing Prudence of
having an affair with the town
sheriff, Thaddeus Jennings. She
does have an affair, but with Max
Christmann, a young Hessian of
ficer, rather than the sheriff. Max
comes to the United States from
Germany, knowing very little of
American customs, least of all,
bundling. But when Prudence en
tertains him in this way, he comes
to think more and more of Amer
ica, and its customs.

his ideas to the extreme, telling

this ancient custom. Then, when

Although trulv a corned v, the
play also carries with it a mes
sage. Max, the young Hessian of
ficer, has come to America be
cause he has heard that it is a
land of freedom. He does find
freedom to a certain degree, but
he also finds that people aie not

by custom and gossip, and that
