No stage setting except a chair.

[Enter Everychild.]

Everychild. Were there not voices here? I came to see

If this could be my chosen company.

For I am growing now, and seek to come

Where Goodness, and where Beauty, have their home.

I am alone; but Everychild, they say,

May choose what friends she’ll have upon her way.

[Thinks.]

I’ll call for Idleness, she is so soft!
