THE PLAY
[Enter, left wing, six or a dozen school children, talking, laughing, hurrying in. They discover Father Time standing at right front of stage, leaning on his scythe, and looking much disturbed.]
Children. [Cheerily.] Good evening, Father Time.
Father Time. [Very sadly.] Good evening, little folks.
Boy. [Aside.] The old man looks terribly blue
to-night, doesn’t he?
