"Punch and Judy" for months. I wish my mother would go and live in
another street.

Third Child.--Never mind, let us go out and have a game.

(Enter five or six children--or a lesser number, if more
convenient--carrying toy musical instruments.)

First Child.--Hurrah! Here comes a German band. Come along, children;
let's go and listen to it.

(The band groups itself at the end of the street, and the children
stand round. After tuning up, the band begins to play.)

Second Child.--Now, Mary Jane, we can dance. I'll dance with you.

Third Child.--No, I want to dance with Mary Jane.

First Child.--I don't want to dance at all.

Second Child.--You must.

Third Child.--Yes, you must.

(Band ceases playing and one of the bandsmen comes round for money.)

First Child.--I haven't any money.

Second Child.--But we haven't begun to dance yet.
