Mother Goose. I do love to have the Auld Lang Syne Club meet with us. Santa, you must try to look a little pleasanter. Just as soon as the guests are all here we will tell them our troubles and be guided by their advice. So let us now cheer up and act as if nothing sad had happened.
Jennie. Your collar is a little crooked, Santa. Now let the smiles come. There, you look better.
Jack. The Man in the Moon.
[Enter The Man in the Moon, lantern in hand, yellow robe, and smiling face.]
