Scene I. shows ALICE asleep lulled by the figures she is dreaming of. Scenes II., III., IV. represent her dream.
SCENE I.—INTRODUCTION.
Curtain rises, discovers ALICE asleep, all the characters dancing slowly round, waving Pampas grass over her and singing. Lights should be lowered, or coloured lights thrown. Song: Sleep, my love, sleep.
Curtain falls.
CHARADE.—DREAMLAND.
SCENE I (DREAM).
A room with ALICE, DUCHESS, COOK and BABY. Tea table spread.
ALICE. (looking up over her head) Well I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen. I must be somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see; that would be 4,000 miles, I think. I wonder what latitude and longitude I’ve got to. Why, after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of falling downstairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house! (sneezes, looks round, sees DUCHESS and COOK, all sneeze)
SONG.
Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes.
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
ALICE. There’s certainly too much pepper in the soup! (looking about; DUCHESS and COOK take no notice; timidly) Please can you tell me why your baby jumps about so?
DUCHESS. It’s a leap year child, and that’s why. (looks at child) Pig!
ALICE. I didn’t know they always jumped.
DUCHESS. They all can, and most of ‘em do.
ALICE. I don’t know any that do.
DUCHESS. You don’t know much, and that’s a fact. (a pause; COOK throws things about)
ALICE. Oh please mind what you’re doing. There goes her precious nose!
DUCHESS. If everybody minded their own business the world would go round a deal faster than it does.
ALICE. Which would not be an advantage. Just think what work it would make with the day and night! You see the earth takes twenty-four hours to turn on its axis—
DUCHESS. Talking of axes—chop off her head.
ALICE. Twenty-four hours, I think; or is it twelve?
DUCHESS. Don’t bother me; I never could abide figures. (sings)—
I speak severely to my boy,
I beat him when he sneezes,
For he can thoroughly enjoy
The pepper when he pleases.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
DUCHESS. Here! You may nurse it a bit if you like! I must go and get ready to play croquet with the Queen. (gives BABY to ALICE; exit right; COOK seats herself in front of door)
ALICE. If I don’t take this child away with me they’re sure to kill it in a day or two. Wouldn’t it be murder to leave it behind? (BABY
