July.

(Behind the scenes.)

Blue flags, yellow flags, all freckled,

Which will you take? Yellow, blue, speckled!

Take which you will, speckled, blue, yellow,

Each in its way has not a fellow.

(Enter July, a basket of many-colored irises swung upon his shoulders, a bunch of ripe grass in one hand, and a plate piled full of peaches balanced upon the other. He steals up to June, and tickles her with the grass. She wakes.)

June.

What, here already?

July.
