Teddy. Would you like to see it, maw?
Mrs. Mulligan. If it ain't too late.
Mrs. O'Toole. What matters it how late it is? Christmas comes but once a year——
All. And when it comes it brings good cheer.
Mrs. Mulligan. Then sure we'll have the show. Poor folks can be just as happy on Christmas Day as rich folks. It's all in the way you feel about it.
Patsy. Now, maw, you and Mrs. O'Toole take your seats out there in front. (Points to front row of the audience.)
Matsy. I'll help you carry them out. (They carry down two chairs from the stage and seat Mrs. Mulligan and Mrs. O'Toole in the audience.)
Patsy. Now, we'll have to draw the curtain to get the stage ready.
Nora. And while we're getting ready Mary Ann can say her piece.
Curtain Falls.
