��"CONCERT" STARTS

I N THE KING'S GENERAL,
PARLOUR
(Enter the h n g and his servant)
King: How man? times have Iwarned you that
your service with me will be terminated if you
'continue to put eye on my wives and daughters.
I have received several complaints against you
from outsiclers. You are fioally warned just now
t o take time, otherwise you lose your job and
become an applicant.
Servant: My Lord, please tell me what type
of putting eye on your daughters and wives.
King: I mean [bat you are chasing them about.
Were it to be that you have got the opportunity,
you would have mixed up with them. You are
too fond of females, why?
It has came to my
observation that, some servants find meaus to mingle
with their masters wives and daughters. When
1 hold you one day, I will cut off that your thing
with a knife.
(laughter)
Servant: My lord, your daughters and some
of your wives are the people who worry me every
now and then.
King:

By how?

�Servant: They are interested in me and have
been asking me for friendship. When I said No!
some of your wives started to hate and tronble
me. Any thing I do, they find faults in it merely
because I refused to be their secret lovers.
King: "Gracious me". Oh ! God of Israel I
must believe you. I know that you 'can identify
those of my wives who are hostile to you because
you declioed to love them.
Servant: When you call them out, I would point
those ones and take the obvious consequences from
them.
King: Don't fear any hell. G o now and c d l all of
them.
(The Servant goes to call them)
(The wives Come In)
Point at those stupid ones.
Servant; (pointing) this woman, this and this.
King: Three of you come out. The rest go out
first. You may be called again. (They move oat).
My servant told
me
that three of you
request him for love, but he refused, and as a
result of his refusal, you people started to antagonise
him. Justinah let me hear you first.

�Justinah: I am surprised to hear this. How
on earth will I ever request t h ~ sdefamed and ugly
boy to love me He was the person who wanted me to
love him but 1 warned him strongly that, he was not
my rank, and above all, he was a servant to us and
that it would be the highest degradation if one heard
that we were in love terms..
King: But love is blind. I t does not count
one's outlook, wealth or possition. 1 am not eatisfied
with your denial. I do not doubt the possibility of a
wife telling her husband's servant for love making
and letting down her private part t o the boy. If you
are telling the truth, why not report to me that time
you alleged he asked you for love. In short, I hold
the opin~onthat my servant is talking :he truth. I
will f~ne,youunder the native Law and sustom. You
know that under our popular native law and custom,
if a wife "indulges in love with another man, in which
I find you guilty, the husband would either sack her
or impose a maximum fine on the wife.

I fine you one goat, one fowl, two guineas,
and you know that you would produce one mighty
kola nut the day you would pay the fines. I give
you three days to pay the fines, if you fail, I will
seize all you have in my house and kick you away.
Justinah:

Thank Sir.

King: Mabel, I have finished with Justinah.
What have you to say in your own?

�Mabel: Give me Bible or any other oath, I
will swear that I have never had the time to speak to
this boy.
King: I am not a commissioner of oaths. I
have no legal right t o administer oath on anybody.
Your lie is more serious than that of Justinah. When
you said that you had never had the time to speak to
this fine boy. You will pay the same fines as Justinah.
Mabel: Thank Sir.
King:
Patriciah tell me your own lie.
Patriciah: This boy ha8 just wanted to put us
into trouble. He is the type of a liar I have not seen.
He is a black devil.
King: I cannot just follow what you are saying.' You have to pay fines as others. I am satisfied
before my conscience that my servant is truthful.
Three of you move away now.

(THEY MOVE OUT)
You servant I will promote your position in
this my house. I have now engaged you to be watching all my wives and daughters for me. Any one you
see going wrongly, tell me. 1 will increase your pay
with two pounds as from the 1st of next month.
Servant: My Lard, thank Sir. May God save
the King. Woe betide all your enemies.

CURTAIN FALLS

�The king and his wives.
His servant poitrts to the wives
who are hostile to him because B
e
refused to love them.

�In An Enemy's House.

.

(Enters Mabel, Jastinah, Patriciah and Okoronkwo)
After four months the three wives of the King
had paid the fines, they conspire to stage a coup
detect against him or if this one fails, they finish
his life with a rvit poison)
Okoronkwo: Every body who heard the story of
how the King; (Your husband) imposed maximum
was usually
fines on you was against him. e
ruthleshl and unjustified: It was too bad of him
rely upon the allegation of a servant without a considerable security. How can a wife request a servant
for friendship, when important and wealthy men
find it difficiilt to win the love of a woman? It is
"strange" to be heard that a woman asks her husband's servant who is also her servant, for love.

~

Patrioiah: The King did not treat us b e f ~ r e ~ t h q t
boy as if we are his wives. We did not receive any
justice from his verdict. He insaulted us "three"
much and we must pay him'in his own ooins.
Justinah: I am not in wasting time. Let Mr.
Okoronkwo get for us 12 strong armed thieves who
will go tomorrow midnight and get the King assasinated. They can succeed, However, the King is
a "epirit" and wonderful, if the theives fail to
kill him we can put a rat poison in his chop and
see what will be the result.

�Mabel: Mr. Okoronkwo, tell us whether or not
you can arrange the tbieves-clever and strong one.
Okoronkwo: I have been undertaking similar duties.
I will get you wonderful thieves to do the job.
They can't charge more than k20.
Patriciah, Mabel, Justinah: We can pay that. We
will pay them after this job.
Okoronkwo: Okay, wait and see what will happen.

(THEY DEPART)
CURTAIN FALLS

,
.

I n The King's Palace
Enter the twelve armed thieves. One woman is
among them. They go straight t o the side where
the King sleeps. His dog called "Tiger" sees them and
begins to bark at them. This wakes the King from
sleep. He understands that thieves are within his
palace and he takes up his riffle and load it for defence. One af the thieves fires at the dog-"Tiger"
but it escapes unhurt. An expert thief repeats
firing the "Tiger" and all in vain.

�The dog thee chases them up and in the fight
thaf follows, the dog biter two thieves who fall on
the spot and die and others run away leaving some
of their weapons. The King comes out

and sees

that two of the thieves are killed by his dog, he
calls the attention of his household and the thieves
are carried into a nearby river.

CURTAIN FALLS.

�The thieves are running away.
Dog-Tiger pursues them. The two
dead ones are lying down.

was more stronger than the real Tiger. I know that
thieves and other notorious people who are tired of
attempting my life will resume the attempt to kill
me since my dog is dead. But with the protection
of the Almighty Father any of their further attempt
will foil again.

living soul that you make charm for me, if I say it,
that day will I also die.

Doctor: Let us enter into the convenant. (They

and cut their bodies very little and blood comes out.
The Kola nut is broken, each person having a piece
of his own. They mix up their blood and each touches his own share of the Kola nut on the mixed blood

the 2nd, that I will never reveal it to any body, and
that I will never also make a similar charm for any

Some of you who have arrows and dane guns
would fight with them. Those who haven't any
weapons will be supplied with them here. You know

we will try to cross the boundary over to their nation
and destroy importants places like post and Telegraph
offices, Airport, Bsnks, and bomb the palace of the
King, My Army and police are very busy preparing
for the war.

                <text>This play's preface suggests that the work should be read as a closet drama. Readers are duly instructed: "&lt;em&gt;When ever you are annoyed, take up this booklet and go through it. You will come across very funny items that will make you forget all about your anger,&lt;/em&gt;" (pg.8).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seven daughters of the pamphlet's title are featured as busty women on the cover to attract the reader into purchasing this play. They do not figure in the action of the play at all. In the plot the one good daughter is given to the faithful servant who warns the king that three of his wives are unfaithful. The play's story appears to come from oral tradition. The jilted wives attempt to murder the king on three different occasions. The king's dog,Tiger, protects him and the king proves to be impervious to poison and bullets. This play also incorporates elements of ritual practice and masquerade. After the dog dies of natural causes, the king consults with a traditional doctor who makes a charm after a kola nut ceremony that will prevent the king from developing any vulnerability. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both this play and &lt;em&gt;Beware of Women&lt;/em&gt;, also by Nathan O. Njoku, have dogs that protect their masters against the poisons and bad intentions of women.</text>
