Santa Claus.
[Nods kindly.] Aye!
I’ll show you! Lobs, bring hither pipes and bowl!
[From behind the curtains the Lobs bring a huge crystal bowl filled with soap-suds and a tray of pipes.]
The Children.
[Delighted.] Oh, soap-bubbles! Hip, hip, hurrah! Hurrah!
Beeswax.
It was the world you promised us!
Santa Claus.
[Taking a huge pipe and blowing bubbles.] And see!
