Meeny (taking his R. arm). Yes, Tomasso, tell us vot it is already.
Biddy Mary (turning Tomasso around to face her). Sure, if there's anything on earth I do love, it's a secret.
Hulda (and the other girls, surrounding Tomasso). Yes, Tomasso, tell us the secret; we'll never tell anyone.
Meeny (pulling him around to face her). Sure we won't. Nice Tomasso, tell us vot it is yet.
Tomasso (hesitates). Well, I——
Biddy Mary (pulling him around to face her). Now, you tell me, Tomasso. I never tell any secrets at all, at all.
Tomasso. Well, I——
Meeny (pulls him around again). If you're going to tell it, I want to hear every word. I never want to miss noddings no times.
Biddy Mary (pulls him back). Neither do I.
Hulda. Neither do I.
