Snickerty Nick
Hello, Dicky Dicky Doubt, with your shirt-tail out!
[They all laugh.]
[Nicky rubs his eyes and falls asleep again.]
RAGGED SAILOR
There’s no moving him. He’s aground, he is.
[Sailor fashion he dances a few steps.]
SPRING
Sweet William, you try.
[Sweet William takes the paints that the Dwarf has used for the sign and paints a dot of red on his forehead, his cheeks and then the end of his nose until he is a droll sight.]
SWEET WILLIAM
See what a funny face he has. He won’t know himself when he wakes up.
[Shaking him]
Wake up! Wake up! I can’t wake him.
