This one.

HANK.

And the other one's name is Iween, ain't it?

JONATHAN

No, his name is Rollo.

[Ill.u.s.tration: JONATHAN MAKES A WISH

ACT I.]

HANK

All right, fire ahead. I guess you know what you're doing.

JONATHAN (_in a.s.sumed voice_)

"Hail, n.o.ble duke."

"All is well, I ween."

"Not very well, n.o.ble duke."

"What is wrong?"

"Queen Zen.o.bia is very mad, n.o.ble duke."

"What is she mad about, Rollo?"

[_Uncle John enters suddenly._

JOHN

Jonathan--

[_He sees Hank._

What does this mean?

HANK

I'm seein' a show.

JOHN

You get out of here this instant.

HANK

I ain't hurtin' nothin', mister, but I'll git out if you say so.

JOHN

What do you mean by this, Jonathan?

HANK

I'll git out. Thank you fer the show, boy.

[_He goes out whistling._

_John crosses to the door._

JOHN (_calling after Hank_)

Come on, get out of here quickly.

HANK (_off_)

I'm out, mister.

JOHN

Now, Jonathan, what do you mean by bringing such people into this place?

JONATHAN

I didn't bring him in. He came up while I was working.

JOHN

Do you call that silly stuff _working_?

JONATHAN

I was getting it ready for Uncle Nathaniel.

JOHN

He's been putting that nonsense in your head, has he?

JONATHAN

He asked me to let him see all my plays.

JOHN
