* '''Straight''':
** The subjects of Troperville gather around the castle hoping for word that the king will send aid to a disasterous fire caused by soldiers. An officious guard tries to order them off, and someone throws a rock. The crowd follows the lead, beating up the guards, smashing up the windows, and spreads out.
** The subjects gather hoping to hear news of what is being done about bandits. The king comes out and gravely thanks them for their concern and speaks of what the soldiers are doing. The crowd dissipates.
** The subjects come, angry, after word of a military disaster. The queen comes out, and an old woman complains that she has no word of her grandsons. The queen rebukes her: she could be helping make bandages -- indeed, everyone in the crowd could be readying supplies for the troops. Ashamed, the crowds return home.
