JAN
Oh, was it you?--Oh, yes!

PIPER
[apart, tensely]
No Michael yet!

[JAN begins to laugh softly, in a bewildered way; then grows
quite happy and forgetful. While the other children waken, he
reaches for the pipe and tries to blow upon it, to the PIPER'S
amusement. ILSE and HANSEL, the Butcher's children, wake.

ILSE
Oh!

HANSEL
--Oh!

PIPER
Ahe?

ILSE
I thought I had a dream.

PIPER
Again?

ILSE
. . . It was some lady, calling me.
