Steven. Oh, by George, yes! [Coming out from the sofa.] I forgot. I must go back down town.

Philip. Oh, pshaw!

[About to turn.

Georgiana. Don't turn, Phil!

Christopher. No, the rest of us is hid!

Steven. I'm sorry, children! Father'd a great

deal rather play hide and seek, but he's got to go to work. It's just like when you'd rather play but have to study!

Philip. When I get growed, I shan't never do anything I don't want to.

Georgiana. Then you'd be the most wonderful person in the world, and they'd put you in wax in the Eden Musée!

Steven. [Kissing Phil, then Chris, then Toots.] Good-by, dears.
