(Witch begins to show signs of life as White Fairy continues to wave wand.)
White Fairy (Resuming) Too long hast thou disgraced thy sex in Spirit World, in mortal life thou shalt assume the guise of man.
(During preceding lines Witch must unfasten necessary strings, hooks, etc., to allow entire costume to fall off as she rises. Fairy reads next line upon receiving signal from Witch that all is ready.)
White Fairy (stepping back and raising wand) Rise mortal man.
(Mortal rises, children cheer.)
White Fairy (Continuing) Be grateful for thy life.
Note—If part of Witch is played by female omit this line and change words to feminine gender in following lines where necessary. In the original production the Witch was effectively impersonated by a young man thus bringing out a stronger anti-climax upon restoration to life.
Mortal (bowing) I am grateful.
(Fairy disposes of wand by hanging it on her dress.)
