Sukey. I did so want to be here to make the tea.
Mrs. S. You had better have been. Look!
[Pours out of the kettle some of the black liquid.
Sukey. Oh dear! I'll get another. [Opens cupboard, gets out another kettle.] I'll soon make it boil.
[Puts water into kettle and puts it on the fire.
Mrs. B. I don't think we'll wait for any more tea-makings, thank you. Good afternoon.
All. Good afternoon.
[They all go out.
Mrs. S. Oh dear! Oh dear! My tea-party has not been a success. Sukey, take it off again, they've all gone away.
[Mrs. S., Sukey, and Polly all sing together, "Sukey, take it off again, they've all gone away!"
