LISTENER Hark! FINN [_Nervously._] What is it? LISTENER I hear something inside, It sounds like children’s voices. Have you tried The door? FINN There isn’t any door. LISTENER [_Positively._] I really hear Something, I don’t know what. It sounds quite near. CLIMBER If there’s no front door there must be a stair, I’m certain he has put the child in there; And since it must have got inside somehow, I rather think the door is in the brow. At any rate, I’m going to climb and see. FINN [_Anxiously._] Take care! The thatch is very slippery! LISTENER [_Cheerfully._] If there’s a way in, then there is no doubt There must be just the same way to get out. [_The Climber’s figure is soon dimly seen silhouetted on the roof against the stars._] CLIMBER [_With a delighted exclamation._] Just as I thought! FINN [_Nervously._] What? CLIMBER I’ve found a door just where I thought. FINN Can you open it? CLIMBER Oh yes, there’s not Much difficulty there, It comes away with prayer. [_She is seen kneeling._] FINN What’s that you’re saying? LISTENER Be quiet! Can’t you see she’s praying? CLIMBER [_Presently._] It’s opening up! FINN [_Eagerly._] What is inside? CLIMBER I’m looking, but I haven’t tried My eyes yet in a night so deep. [_She calls down softly presently._] The Giant is sound asleep! FINN Oh! Can you see if he’s still got the child Inside the cap Of the other hand? CLIMBER [_Delighted._] It’s there! It’s still taking its little nap! FINN [_Desperately._] If only I were strong enough to creep Inside and steal it while he is asleep! But with this heavy box I can’t get up. LISTENER Why don’t you throw it away then altogether? FINN [_Arrested._] I wonder if I could? I don’t know whether— CLIMBER [_Calling down._] There’s a dog here too besides, and a little pup! FINN
