Betty—“I pwomith to git up when I’m called if I’m not too theepy” (all laugh).
Bobby—That ain’t no pwomise.
Pa—Yes it is. And now children, you’ve made your Ma and me happier than we’ve ever been in our lives.
Ma—Indeed you have. This shows us how much you love us better’n the costliest gifts in the world could have done.
Bobby—Can’t we get our presents, now?
All—Yes, yes (every one scrambles for presents at once and open them before audience, exclaiming together).
Minerva—A dress, a lovely party dress. Oh! Oh!
Jennie and Betty—Oh the lovely furs (puts them on).
Bill—A hockey-stick. Ain’t it great!
