Mrs. D. Oh, you naughty boy, didn't I tell you not to get on the wall without me holding you?
Humpty. I'm all right—I shall see them beautifully from here.
Mrs. D. Don't jump about like that—you'll fall off for a certainty.
Humpty. Oh, let me alone. Can't you hear them coming?
Mrs. D. Take care, Humpty, take care. What did I say...!
[Humpty falls off—this must be done by jumping from the wall and rolling over. Mrs. D. flies to pick him up. Humpty groans. Enter Mrs. P.
Mrs. P. Here I am, Mrs. Dumpty. Why, what's that down there?
Mrs. D. It's Humpty. He's been and fallen off the wall, and I can't get him up again.
Mrs. P. Here, let me try. Give me your hand, Humpty.
Mrs. D. No, it's no use, he is so heavy, you see.
