Baker, George M. (George Melville)

(_Music: curtains at back are drawn, disclosing "A Christmas
Picture." In the centre, the_ GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, _seated
as before, with his torch raised, red fire blazing in it. At his_
L., _the blindfolded gentleman, in the same position as before,
with the lady getting away from him; on his_ L., _the lady with
the fan_; R. _of_ CHRISTMAS PRESENT, MRS. CRATCHIT, _with the
pudding in her hands_; MARTHA _at her_ R., _with_ TINY TIM _in her
arms. Two of the children opposite them, looking at the pudding._
TINY TIM _speaks, when curtain is fairly drawn, "God bless us
every one!" "The Christmas Carol" [see p. 64] is then sung by an
invisible chorus; and the front curtain falls upon the whole
picture._)
