Servant. Under the table.
Mother [calls]. Monday!
Servant. Up in the band-box![141]
Mother. How to get up?
Servant. Put two broken chairs on a broken table.
Mother. Suppose I should fall and break my neck?
Servant. Good enough for you.
Mother beats servant, but recovering from her loss, goes out again. Witch enters as before, and carries off successively all the children, and at last the servant. Witch then puts the children in a row, cooks them, and makes them into pies, naming them apple-pie, peach-pie, etc. Mother goes out to buy pies.
Mother [to Witch]. Have you any pies?
Witch. Yes, some very nice apple-pies, which you will like.
