 MR. BUNT

41

VOICE OF MRS. GESHISISH

Then up we go.

Dramatically. I wish I were in the roots of the Maple Tree. Music.

There is a rushing sound as of wings and two huge, round eyes look out of the darkness.

The lights go on slowly and we are in the roots of the Maple Tree.

SCENE 7

From a dark hollow among the huge tangled roots the gigantic head of the Owl looks down and blinks at the little figures of Mrs. Geshis ish and Mr. Bunt.

Mrs. Geshisish is holding

her open umbrella far above her head as though she had just alighted and gripping a very

frightened Mr. Bunt firmly by the arm. As for the rest of the scene, there are a num ber of little mushroom -like seats in groups as

though they had just come up, and at the side of the Owl's head is a large sign, reading: SECOND CLASS IN SILENCE.

The Owl blinks his large eyes. OWL

In a very solemn voice.

And what can I do for you ?
