up against the wall and begin TO

from out of the darkness comes the

There is a cessation of tie whimper
for moment; then it tegins on a
more emphatic scale and again comes
In louder tones:

From this the protest goes into sob

In most heart-breaking tones:
"Muvver don't like me-"
This is the time for the head of the

tones she answers:
Yes. dearie. mother does like you.
She loves you with all her heart
From out OF the darkness comes in
a great. indignant cry:

Despairing sobbing follows, but it
goes down as the musical patrol dies
away. and finally a very penitent little
boy comes out of the corner and
plucks at his mothers skirt. looking
