SIDE 1
MRS. TIBBS
Yesssss?
JACK
(putting on a formal tone)
Ah, good day, madam. We've come to call on Charles Dickens.
MRS. TIBBS
Indeed. And who are you?
ANNIE
We're Jack and An-
JACK
Andrew!
ANNIE
Right!
(lowering her voice)
Right. We're Jack and Andrew from Frog Creek. And who are
you?
MRS. TIBBS
I? Why, I am Mrs. Tibbs, housekeeper for Mister Charles Dickens! And it is my sad but deliberate duty to inform you that Mister Charles Dickens will be seeing no visitors today. No callers of any kind.
ANNIE
But we've traveled so far, Mrs. Tibbs-
MRS. TIBBS
Young man, I am afraid that right now Mister Dickens needs every minute he can spare for his writing. Surely you know how important Mister Dickens' work is.
ANNIE
Yes, ma'am, surely we do.
JACK
Yes, surely... but...
MRS. TIBBS
I am terribly sorry, young gentlemen. It grieves me so to turn you away, but, I must. And I pray that you will bear no grudge against Mister Charles Dickens.
