MR . BUNT
used to them — and you are so nice to talk to it's like having a real fairy. MR. BUNT
That's what I am, Miss Reber. ANNIE
And I'm going to have you come and play with me always. MR. BUNT
Why certainly, Miss Reber. ANNIE
And I can tell you all the things that Dabs doesn't understand and I don't want him to
know , anyway . MR. BUNT
Exactly. ANNIE
I'm sure it's very nice of you, Mr. Bunt. MR. BUNT
Oh, not at all, Miss Reber. ANNIE
You see, Mr. Bunt, I think it's because I'm so
lonely and want some one to talk to . Mummy is away all day, even to -day, Saturday, when there isn't any school or anything. Of course , there
is Dabs, but he just gets into one mess right after another, and I want someone I can really talk to . MR. BUNT
Of course you do.
