Sergeant-Major. Yes, Colonel!

Colonel. Fall out the regiment, and replace that boy on the wall.

Sergeant-Major. Right turn! Dismiss! Now then, all together.

[Both regiments dash at Humpty and try to pick him up.

Colonel. H'm—it's not so easy as I thought. A charge of cavalry might do it. [Humpty starts.] Or, upon my word, an explosion of dynamite would be better. Sergeant-Major!

[Humpty trembles.

Sergeant-Major. Yes, Colonel.

Colonel. Blow this boy off the ground with dynamite.

Mrs. D. [hurriedly]. Oh, thank you so much—I won't trouble you to do that.

Colonel. No trouble at all, madam, I assure you. It won't take a moment. Sergeant-Major!
