SCENE 9
Dumbly Jim stands watching them depart ;
then he follows, haltingly, to the hill. Behind his back, Mr. Bunt wakes slowly and rubs his eyes. Jim has drawn the knife from his belt and is feeling the edge with his fingers.
Mr. Bunt is timidly watching him. MR. BUNT
Please, sir, couldn't you take me as your fairy ? JIM
Say, you're a queer kid. MR. BUNT
I'm a fairy. JIM
What you say your name was ? MR. BUNT
Mr. Bunt.
JIM
Well, Mr. Bunt, you just happened along at the right time. MR. BUNT
Coming up smiling and taking Jim's hand. And what are you going to do with that knife, now, Mr. Clown ? JIM
Mr. Bunt, you and me are going to skin that bear.
