Ha, ha, ha!
The Witch (who had meanwhile opened the whole door, and had been warily stealing up to the children, throws a rope round the neck of Hänsel, who, without any misgivings, turns his back to her).
Hi, hi! hi, hi!
Hänsel (horror-struck).
Let go! Who are you?
Let me go!
The Witch (drawing the children towards her).
Angels both!
(And goosey-ganders!)
