MR . BUNT SCENE 3
In the silence, high up among the gilded orna ments of the circus wagon , a little figure with a gun is seen , peering cautiously over the top. JIM
Looking up and watching it. What you doing up there, sonny ? BOY
I'm afraid . JIM
Where did you come from ? BOY
I don't know . JIM
Well, I guess you're skeered out of your wits, ain't you ? Come down here; I want to see you . BOY
You won't bite me ? JIM
Say BOY
Nor you won't let the tiger get me? JIM You come down here.
The boy descends and walks over into the
light. It is the absurd figure of Mr. Bunt. Why, bless my heart, what's this ? Where did
you get them clothes ? Be you out hunting ani mals in the menagerie ?
