CHILDREN
[trying on theirs and capering]
O Jan!--O Jan!
Oh! see my shoes!

[The PIPER looks at JAN.]

PIPER
Hey day, what now?

JAN
I wish. . .

PIPER
What do you wish? Wish for it!--It shall come.
[JAN pulls him closer and speaks shyly.]

JAN
I wish--that I could show them--to the Man,
The Lonely Man.
[The PIPER looks at him and backs away; sits down helplessly and looks
at him again.
Oh, can I?--

PIPER
Thou!--'T would make me a proud man.

JAN
Oh! it would make Him smile!
