(Girls take off hats and shawls, which, with baskets, &c., are placed in a corner. Some take seats with some confusion; others remain standing.)
Arthur. Now what shall we do with ourselves?
Ned. Let’s get up an entertainment. Tickets ten cents; grown folks, double price.
Kate. So I say; and call ourselves a “troupe,” or a “family,” or something.
George. Something that has a foreign sound.
Arthur. How would “Yotopski” do?
Caroline, Lucy, and Anna. Splendid!
Anna. Let’s call ourselves “The Yotopski Family.”
Lucy. But what shall we have for our entertainment?
Polly. I think tableaux are perfectly splendid.
