 MR. BUNT

123

SCENE 4

The lights come on slowly, and we are in the

land of the forgotten fairies. On the gate is a sign, reading : FORGOTTEN FAIRIES WITHOUT KEYS WILL PLEASE KEEP

AWAY FROM THIS GATE. By Order of the BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

In

spite of this warning, two little fairies are doing their best to look through the keyhole.

Annie's voice is still heard calling " Mr. Bunt ! ” But the voice seems changed and is drawing closer, when a very little fairy, dressed with a great many brass buttons, rapidly crosses the stage, calling “ Mr. Bunt ! Mr. Bunt ! Mr.

Bunt !" - and off.

The fairies at the keyhole of the gate have paused for a moment to watch Buttons come and go. FIRST FAIRY

There he goes again, calling Mr. Bunt. SECOND FAIRY

My ! he thinks he's important. FIRST FAIRY

There's no Mr. Bunt here. SECOND FAIRY

Of course not, he's outside.
