MR. BUNT

under it stands the most alarming little old lady dressed in black bombazine. Dabs' hair fair ly rises on his head.

Gee- I must have started something ! MRS. GESHISISH

You did !

You started me !

Dabs starts for the house. You started a great deal more than you can ever understand.

Dabs has had more than he wants to under

stand, and this with the appearance of Annie round the house makes his exit a hurried one. At Annie's appearance the old lady has again

become a mushroom, and Annie, nursing her anger, draws the stick from the latch and enters the house.

SCENE 6

Whereupon the old lady, who has lost Dabs, advances upon the house, remarking in her sharp irritating voice:

Well, of all the impudent things ! Never in all

my fairy- godmother life did I ever expect to have such remarks passed on me. Mrs. Geshisish indeed !

And as for this Bunt creature, I don't

believe there is such a thing.
