Dot. I wish they could have a Christmas like ours. I'd like to give them some things. Anyway, I'd like to show them our presents.
Dick [jumping up]. Let's!
Dot. When?
Dick. Now, right off. And, Dot, don't you know they said they had never seen Santa Claus, either. It's 'most time for him to come. Let's go and bring them over to see him.
Dot. All right. He'll give them something, too.
Dick. We'll hide them so as to surprise everybody.
Dot. Will Papa and Mamma like it?
Dick. Of course they will. Papa always likes our surprises, and Mamma will, I know, because it would make her feel so sorry if she knew there was anybody in the world that wasn't happy on Christmas. She says that's the happiest day in the year, and everybody ought to be happy. So we won't make her sorry by telling her about it. We'll just make them happy too.
Dot. We can have them take off their things in the nursery, and then Jim can wash his face.
