(_Runs off, R., and returns with water in the palm of his hand. Throws it over NOODLE._) One, two, three and away! (_NOODLE springs up. He limps. The brothers embrace._) NOO. I’m stiff as that old tree. _Enter MONA R., carrying large gold key_. MONA. You’ve found him, see! Look here! I’ve brought this key, Key to the diamond mountain. Come! be quick: We’ll play that dear old dwarf there such a trick. DOO. We’ll build a raft; with diamonds fill each sack; Set sail before he knows— NOO. And not come back. But where’s your crew? DOO. My crew? Oh there’s the rub, I hav’nt got a crew to sail a tub. A set of geese! (_Trunk of tree opens and shows FAIRY OF THE FOREST._) FAIRY. Sprinkle thrice, sprinkle thrice. And your geese, in half a trice Will disappear, and on the land, Four and forty sailors stand. (_Trunk of tree closes._) DOO. A friend in need’s a friend indeed they say. Madam, we thank you. Come, friends, let’s away. NOO. Let’s to the mountain; there our sacks we’ll fill. And get good fortune from a monstrous _ill_. (_Exeunt, R., Trunk of tree opens. FAIRY OF THE FOREST descends, and comes forward._) FAIRY. So far so good. Those captives stirred my pity, And Maiden Mona is so good and pretty. I hate that Gnome; he is so tough and tarty. (_looks off._) Here’s naughty Coquettina and her party. I’ll sprinkle magic water on them all, And where they stand they’ll stay until I call. (_She returns into tree, which closes. Enter L. COQUETTINA hurriedly. She looks back as she enters._) COQ. What fun! they’re coming all together here. I’ll hide behind this tree. (_Trunk opens, FAIRY appears and sprinkles her. She stops instantly._) FAIRY. You’ll not, my dear. (_Trunk closes. Enter R. and L. KING, ROOSTER, GENERAL BOUNCE and CAPT. POUNCE. Different entrances. Music soft and staccato. As they advance to centre, they see each other._) ALL. Hallo! (_Fairy appears; sprinkles them. They stop short and each retains the position of the moment, Lime light. Scene closes in with cavern, same as scene 1st, only opening at back closed in. Several sailors cross the stage from L. to R., carrying sacks on their backs. NOODLE and DOODLE bring up the rear, each carrying a sack. They come front._) DOO. There! That’s the last, the raft won’t carry more. And now set sail, and quit this unkind shore. Where’s Mona? (_Enter MONA, R._) MONA. Here. Please, dear, before we go, I wish to say good-bye to friends below. DOO. I’m not a fish! MONA. It’s done quite easily, We’ll sink this cavern down below the sea.
