SUBKA
You didn't come down the chimney.
[_To_ MICHAEL.]
He didn't, did he?
[_She runs to the stocking and examines it._]
There's nothing in the stocking.

ARRAM
Ah, Subka,
That remains to be seen; that remains to be seen.

SUBKA
[_Pointing to_ MICHAEL.]
Well, who is that?

ARRAM
The man that carries my bag.

SUBKA
[_With a sudden note of fear in her voice._]
Mother, where's Father?

RADA
[_Putting her arm round her._]
He will soon be here.
It's all right, darling.

SUBKA
Has the gramophone come?
