Clanty—
Derf next in the box may see
At his gifts he’ll howl with glee.
(Derf repeats bow, knock, and formula, and receives a very large slipper, a pipe, an orange, and candy.)
Derf—(bowing) You’re welcome, Clanty Sauce. (gives a shout.) Dese are dandy presents.
Frank—(aside) I should think so! Hope mine won’t be like them.
(Derf sits down, puts both feet into one slipper, puts pipe in mouth so bowl points downward, and occasionally pops in a piece of candy without removing pipe from mouth.)
Clanty—
Next comes Ecila so dear.
She’ll find something nice, ’tis clear.
