Why don't you go upstairs an' dance with the folks there? FRANZISKA Oh, if only I might! Do you know what I'll do? I'll sneak up! I'll sneak into the gallery! Have you ever been up there? The bags of prunes stand up there. I go up there quite boldly and look down, and eat prunes. Why shouldn't I look down from there? MRS. HENSCHEL An' maybe Siebenhaar'll send for you to come down. FRANZISKA I just stare down as bold as you please. I don't care a bit. And whenever a lady dances with Mr. Siebenhaar, I pelt her with plum pits. MRS. HENSCHEL You're crazy about Siebenhaar--that's certain! FRANZISKA Well, he's a real swell--that's what none of the others are. [_The music is heard again._] Ah, they're starting. That's a polka! [_Dancing again._] I'd like to dance with Mr. Siebenhaar this minute. D'you know what I'd do? I'd just kiss him before he knew what was happening. |
