Snickerty Nick
LITTLE BOY
I’m not afraid.
DWARF
Don’t you see that sign? Out with you!
[Dwarf chases the Boy out of the garden. He stumbles over his easle and the sign falls down with aloud noise. As Snickerty Nick opens the gate the Giant sticks his head out of the door. The Giant is a little deaf and often holds his hand to his ear.]
GIANT
Hello, Snickerty Nick! What’s all this racket?
[He catches sight of the sign, comes out, grabs the brush from the Dwarf’s hand and adds another T and roars.]
E-T–T—E double T—ETT. Don’t you know how to spell ETT?
