Snickerty Nick

DWARF

[Scratching his forehead]

It’s the limit!

GIANT

[With his hand to his ear] What?

DWARF

I say seven years is the limit.

[The clock in the tower strikes one.]

GIANT

What’s that?

DWARF

Oh, that’s Dickery Dock. He is a perfect nuisance. I wish he would let that old clock alone. Personally I dislike him.

[Just as the Giant starts to go out of the gate, the Dwarf puts his hat on the ground in front of the Giant.]
