Mother: There has strange things come to pass.

Timothy: That's what we've all been praying
for this long time!

Mother: Ah, can't you give attention and strive
to listen to me. It is all coming back to my mind.
All the things I am remembering have my mind
tattered and tossed.

Timothy: (Who has been trying to hear the music,
sings a verse.)

"You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg,

Hurroo! Hurroo!

You're a yellow noseless chickenless egg,

You'll have to put up with a bowl to beg.

O Johnny, I hardly knew you!

(Music ceases.)
