Oo, there was a row.

MRS. HOLROYD (taking Minnie in her arms)

Did they frighten you, my pet? (She kisses her)

JACK (in a high whisper)

Mother, it's pink bonnet and blue bonnet, what was dancing.

MINNIE (whimpering)

I don't want to go to bed, mam, I'm frightened.

CLARA (who has pulled off her pink bonnet and revealed a jug-handle coiffure) We're going now, duckie—you're not frightened of us, are you?

[Mrs. Holroyd takes the girl away before she can answer. Jack lingers behind.
