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.
Bandsman.—You shouldn't have been so long arguing then. Surely you'll give the band a nickel, after all the pretty music it has played?
First Child.—I won't.
