MR . BUNT
under it stands the most alarming little old lady dressed in black bombazine. Dabs' hair fair ly rises on his head .
Gee- I must have started something ! MRS. GESHISISH
You did !
You started me !
Dabs starts for the house. You started a great deal more than you can ever understand.
Dabs has had more than he wants to under
stand , and this with the appearance of Annie round the house makes his exit a hurried one. At Annie's appearance the old lady has again
become a mushroom , and Annie, nursing her anger, draws the stick from the latch and enters the house.
SCENE 6
Whereupon the old lady, who has lost Dabs, advances upon the house, remarking in her sharp irritating voice:
Well, of all the impudent things ! Never in all
my fairy- godmother life did I ever expect to have such remarks passed on me. Mrs. Geshisish indeed !
And as for this Bunt creature, I don't
believe there is such a thing.
