 MR. BUNT

BUTTONS

What are you here for ? GATEMAN

To chase the children. They like to be chased. It's a game. We don't have any rules here. BUTTONS

Oh, I see. That's like me. I like to be important

and busy so they made me the Bell Hop, so I can go around anywhere and shout out names. GATEMAN

You like it ? BUTTONS

Seriously. It's a very important position, With which he looks down at the other

telegram on the silver platter and walks off, shouting :

Mr. Bunt, Mr. Bunt, Mr. Bunt, Mr. Bunt, Mr. Bunt

In a very mechanical and impressive way.

SCENE 6 GATEMAN

Coming forward with telegram. The message says: “ PREPARE TO RECEIVE FORGOTTEN FAIRY.

HAVE KEY READY.

Signed, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.”
