PETER. [Alone.]
"What shall the wedding breakfast be?
Hard boiled eggs and a cup of tea."
WILLIAM and PETER. "Ha! H'm!"
PETER GRIMM has danced off with the child through the faint path of light. As he goes, the wind or an unseen hand closes the door after them. There is a moment's pause until their voices are no longer heard—then the curtain slowly descends. The air of the song is taken up by an unseen orchestra and continues as the audience passes out.
CURTAIN.
