 MR. BUNT

37

VOICE OF MR. BUNT From the rain pipe. Ma'am ? MRS. GESHISISH

Eyeing the rain pipe suspiciously. Come out of that rain pipe, drat you. VOICE OF MR. BUNT

Please ma'am, I'd rather not. I'm scared of the rabbits. MRS. GESHISISH

Bending down and trying to peer into the rain pipe.

Scared of the rabbits ! More loudly:

You'll be more scared when I come in and get you.

Are you coming out ? VOICE OF MR. BUNT

Please ma'am, no. MRS. GESHISISH

Well, I'm coming in.

And she has just started to crawl into the rain pipe when - Flash ! the stage is black. She is now in the rain pipe. Of course we can't see anything but we can hear Mrs. Geshisish's voice remarking contemptuously: Well of all dark, dank places ! What are you doing, sitting there all squished up with that gun ? VOICE OF MR. BUNT I'm afraid of the rabbits.
