Dall Glic: It is someone with the appearance
of a cook.
Queen: Are you saying it is a cook? That
now will put the King in great humour!
(Manus appears at the window.)
Nurse: (Looking at him.) I wouldn't hardly
think he'd suit. He has a sort of innocent look.
I wouldn't say him to be a country lad. I don't
know is he fitted to go readying meals for a royal
family, and the King so wrathful if they do not
please him as he is. And as to the Princess Nu!
There to be the size of a hayseed of fat overhead
on her broth, she'd fall in a dead faint.
Manus: I'll go on so.
Queen: No, no. Bring him in till I'll take a
look at him!
Manus: (Coming inside.) I am a lad in search
of a master.
Manus: (Inside.) I am a lad in search of a
master.
Queen: And I myself that am wanting a cook.
Manus: I got word of that and I going the road.
