Bugaboo Man. And to prove that we really wish to be Sunshine people——
Dismal Dumps. We will look into that wonderful treasure-box again just now,—for it’s Merry Christmas,—and see if we can’t find something to make these good people all the happier.
Both. We can, and we will! (Going to the box, they reach in and take out present after present, handed up to them by two persons concealed, one behind the box, and one in it. The presents are marked with the names of those for whom they are intended, and as fast as taken out by the transformed Dismal Dumps and Bugaboo Man, who read the names aloud, they are handed to Dorothy and the other children, who in turn pass them to the Brownies, Fairy Bright-Thought, and the Sunshine Fairies, to distribute among the audience.)
