At an early Board meeting to show it up。
Though if proper excuse you can trump any��
You may wind up a Limited Company��
You cannot conveniently blow it up��
��Scaphio and Phantis thoroughly baffled��
King。�此 。�Dancing quietly��
Whene'er I chance to baffle you
I�察�also�察�dance a step or two
Of this now guess the hidden sense��
��Scaphio and Phantis consider the question as King continues
dancing
quietlythen give it up。��
It means complete indifference��
Sca。 and Phan。�此 �Of course it doesindifference��
It means complete indifference��
��King dancing quietly。 Sca。 and Phan。 dancing furiously。��
Sca。 and Phan。�此 �As we've a dance for every mood
With pas de trois we will conclude��
What this may mean you all may guess
It typifies remorselessness��
King。�此 �It means unruffled cheerfulness��
��King dances off placidly as Scaphio and Phantis dance furiously。��
Phantis�此 。�breathless�� He's rightwe are helpless� �He's no
longer a
human beinghe's a Corporation�察�and so long as he
confines
himself to his Articles of Association we can't touch
him� �
What are we to do��
Scaphio�此 �Do�拭 �Raise a Revolution�察�repeal the Act of Sixty´Two��
recon´
vert him into an individual�察�and insist on his immediate
ex´
plosion� 。�Tarara enters。�� Tarara�察�come here�察�you're the
very man we want。
Tarara�此 �Certainly�察�allow me。 ��Offers a cracker to each�察�they
snatch
them away impatiently。�� That's rude。
Scaphio�此 �We have no time for idle forms。 You wish to succeed to
the
throne��
Tarara�此 �Naturally。
Scaphio�此 �Then you won't unless you join us。 The King has defied
us��
and�察�as matters stand�察�we are helpless。 So are you。 We
must devise some plot at once to bring the people about
his
ears。
Tarara�此 �A plot��
Phantis�此 �Yes�察�a plot of superhuman subtlety。 Have you such a
thing
about you��
Tarara�此 。�feeling�� No�察�I think not。 No。 There's one on my
dressing´table。
Scaphio�此 �We can't waitwe must concoct one at once�察�and put it
into
execution without delay。 There is not a moment to spare��
TRIO Scaphio�察�Phantis�察�and Tarara。
Ensemble
With wily brain upon the spot
A private plot we'll plan��
The most ingenious private plot
Since private plots began。
That's understood。 So far we've got
And�察�striking while the iron's hot��
We'll now determine like a shot
The details of this private plot。
Sca。�此 �I think we ought��whispers��
Phan。 and Tar。�此 �Such bosh I never heard��
Phan。�此 �Ah� �happy thought�。�whispers��
Sca。 and Tar。�此 �How utterly dashed absurd��
Tar。�此 �I'll tell you how��whispers��
Sca and Phan。�此 �Why�察�what put that in your head��
Sca。�此 �I've got it now��whispers��
Phan。 and Tar。�此 �Oh�察�take him away to bed��
Phan。�此 �Oh�察�put him to bed��
Tar。�此 �Oh�察�put him to bed��
Sca。�此 �What�察�put me to bed��
Phan。 and Tar。�此 �Yes�察�certainly put him to bed��
Sca。�此 �But�察�bless me�察�don't you see
Phan。�此 �Do listen to me�察�I pray
Tar。�此 �It certainly seems to me
Sca。�此 �Bahthis is the only way��
Phan。�此 �It's rubbish absurd you growl��
Tar。�此 �You talk ridiculous stuff��
Sca。�此 �You're a drivelling barndoor owl��
Phan。�此 �You're a vapid and vain old muff��
��All�察�coming down to audience。��
So far we haven't quite solved the plot
They're not a very ingenious lot
But don't be unhappy��
It's still on the tapis��
We'll presently hit on a capital plot��
Sca。�此 �Suppose we all��whispers��
Phan。�此 �Now there I think you're right。
Then we might all��whispers��
Tar。�此 �That's true�察�we certainly might。
I'll tell you what��whispers��
Sca。�此 �We will if we possibly can。
Then on the spot ��whispers��
Phan。 and Tar。�此 �Bravo� �A capital plan��
Sca。�此 �That's exceedingly neat and new��
Phan。�此 �Exceedingly new and neat。
Tar。�此 �I fancy that that will do。
Sca。�此 �It's certainly very complete。
Phan。�此 �Well done you sly old sap��
Tar。�此 �Bravo�察�you cunning old mole��
Sca。�此 �You very ingenious chap��
Phan。�此 �You intellectual soul��
��All�察�coming down and addressing audience。��
At last a capital plan we've got
We won't say how and we won't say what��
It's safe in my noddle
Now off we will toddle��
And slyly develop this capital plot��
��Business。 Exeunt Scaphio and Phantis in one direction�察�and Tarara
in
the other。��
��Enter Lord Dramaleigh and Mr。 Goldbury。��
Lord D。�此 �Well�察�what do you think of our first South Pacific
Drawing´Room�拭 �Allowing for a slight difficulty with the
trains�察�and a little want of familiarity with the use of
the
rouge´pot�察�it was�察�on the whole�察�a meritorious affair��
Gold。�此 �My dear Dramaleigh�察�it redounds infinitely to your
credit。
Lord D。�此 �One or two judicious innovations�察�I think��
Gold。�此 �Admirable。 The cup of tea and the plate of mixed
biscuits
were a cheap and effective inspiration。
Lord D。�此 �Yesmy idea entirely。 Never been done before。
Gold。�此 �Pretty little maids�察�the King's youngest daughters�察�but
timid。
Lord D。�此 �That'll wear off。 Young。
Gold。�此 �That'll wear off。 Ha� �here they come�察�by George� �And
with´
out the Dragon� �What can they have done with her��
��Enter Nekaya and Kalyba timidly。��
Nekaya�此 �Oh�察�if you please�察�Lady Sophy has sent us in here��
because
Zara and Captain Fitzbattleaxe are going on�察�in the
garden��
in a manner which no well´conducted young ladies ought to
witness。
Lord D。�此 �Indeed�察�we are very much obliged to her Ladyship。
Kalyba�此 �Are you�拭 �I wonder why。
Nekaya�此 �Don't tell us if it's rude。
Lord D。�此 �Rude�拭 �Not at all。 We are obliged to Lady Sophy because
she
has afforded us the pleasure of seeing you。
Nekaya�此 �I don't think you ought to talk to us like that。
Kalyba�此 �It's calculated to turn our heads。
Nekaya�此 �Attractive girls cannot be too particular。
Kalyba�此 �Oh pray�察�pray do not take advantage of our unprotected
inno´
cence。
Gold。�此 �Pray be reassuredyou are in no danger whatever。
Lord D。�此 �But may I askis this extreme delicacythis shrinking
sensitivenessa general characteristic of Utopian young
ladies��
Nekaya�此 �Oh no�察�we are crack specimens。
Kalyba�此 �We are the pick of the basket。 Would you mind not coming
quite so near�拭 �Thank you。
Nekaya�此 �And please don't look at us like that�察�it unsettles us。
Kalyba�此 �And we don't like it。 At least�察�we do like it�察�but it's
wrong。
Nekaya�此 �We have enjoyed the inestimable privilege of being
educated
by a most refined and easily shocked English lady�察�on the
very strictest English principles。
Gold。�此 �But�察�my dear young ladies´
Kalyba�此 �Oh�察�don't� �You mustn't。 It's too affectionate。
Nekaya�此 �It really does unsettle us。
Gold。�此 �Are you really under the impression that English girls
are
so ridiculously demure�拭 �Why�察�an English girl of the
highest
type is the best�察�the most beautiful�察�the bravest�察�and
the
brightest creature that Heaven has conferred upon this
world
of ours。 She is frank�察�open´hearted�察�and fearless�察�and
never shows in so favorable a light as when she gives her
own blameless impulses full play��
Nekaya Oh�察�you shocking story��
and
Kalyba��
Gold。�此 �Not at all。 I'm speaking the strict truth。 I'll tell
you
all about her。
SONG Mr。 Goldbury。
A wonderful joy our eyes to bless��
In her magnificent comeliness��
Is an English girl of eleven stone two��
And five foot ten in her dancing shoe��
She follows the hounds�察�and on the pounds
The ;field; tails off and the muffs diminish
Over the hedges and brooks she bounds��
Straight as a crow�察�from find to finish。
At cricket�察�her kin will lose or win
She and her maids�察�on grass and clover��
Eleven maids outeleven maids in
And perhaps an occasional ;maiden over� �
Go search the world and search the sea��
Then come you home and sing with me
There's no such gold and no such pearl
As a bright and beautiful English girl��
With a ten´mile spin she stretches her limbs��
She golfs�察�she punts�察�she rows�察�she swims
She plays�察�she sings�察�she dances�察�too��
From ten or eleven til all is blue��
At ball or drum�察�til small hours come
��Chaperon's fans concealing her yawning��
She'll waltz away like a teetotum。
And never go home til daylight's dawning。
Lawn´tennis may share her favours fair
Her eyes a´dance�察�and her cheeks a´glowing
