counting out song
"Intry, mintry, cutry, corn,
"Apple seed and apple thorn ;
"Wire, briar, limber, lock,
"Five grey geese in a flock.
"Eeny, meeny, mona, mi,
"Bassalona, bona stri.
"One, two, three,
"Out goes she!
"Out goes she!"
- [The last count falls on Rosalys.
Maids of Honour. [Regretfully.] Oh, it's Rosalys!
Rosalys. I was so afraid it wouldn't be me. Come over here where we can talk quietly. [She runs to the throne and climbs into the big seat. The others cuddle close beside her.] Now, nobody must interrupt, except by 'spress permission. Button mouths! First, Queen Brangomar isn't Snow White's real mother.
Astolaine. Oh, I know that!
