Snickerty Nick
DWARF
Kick it quick!
[To the audience, behind his hand]
There’s a brick in it!
[The Giant starts to kick the Dwarf again.]
DWARF
[Standing still]
Go on, kick me—999
[The Giant stops his foot in time, shakes his stick at him.]
GIANT
Not this time!
DWARF
Nick of time, for all time belongs to Snickerty Nick. No time like the present.
[Takes off his hat and bows, then runs swiftly around tn a circle.]
