MR . BUNT
In the meantime the little fairies have been creeping back on the stage to see what is going on. man .
A FAIRY
A message for Mr. Gateman. A LITTLE FAIRY
Excited
Something doing all the time, here. ANOTHER FAIRY
Ain't it fine ?
The Gateman has solemnly taken the telegram and is looking at it thoughtfully. Getting on his spectacles with great difficulty and a great many “ Dear me, dear me's”, he finally gets
the slip signed, whereupon Buttons who, with his feet apart, has been surveying him from head to foot, demands in an important voice: BUTTONS
Do you have much trouble with the children ? GATEMAN
Hey, what ? BUTTONS
Do you find your work easy here ? GATEMAN
What work ? BUTTONS
Why, you guard the Gate, don't you ? GATEMAN
Oh, dear me, no.
I'm just the Gateman.
