Why should anyone want to steal his rattle?<br />

Rattle!! Slowly I turned... (Biz again. Dum blows his whistle. Dee<br />

snaps out of it.)<br />

You two are as daft as each other. One goes berserk when you<br />

mention ‘crow’...<br />

Crow!!! Like a horrible black cloud... (etc advances on White Knight.)<br />

And the other gets all twisted because of a rattle...<br />

Rattle!!! Slowly I turned... (etc. Advances on White Knight. Both<br />

begin throttling him.)<br />

(To audience) Quick, everyone - whistle! (Audience whistles. If<br />

they’re too inhibited, White Knight can seize a whistle from Dum<br />

or Dee and blow it. Either way, both snap out of it. As they do so<br />

the lights start to dim.) You’ve made everything go black.<br />

It’s not us.<br />

Look up there! (He points.)<br />

What is it? Looks like a big, black cloud.<br />

It’s the crow! I’m off!<br />

Likewise!<br />

Nohow contrariwise! (Both run off. <strong>The</strong>re is a noise of flapping<br />

wings and loud wind.)<br />

<strong>The</strong> wind’s getting up... (He starts to whirl, as if blown<br />

about)...blowing me away! (He whirls off as <strong>Alice</strong> whirls on,<br />

opposite. <strong>The</strong> sound effects subside)<br />

What an enormous crow! When it flaps it’s wings it’s like a hurricane!<br />

Thank goodness it’s flying away. Hello - it’s blowing someone my<br />

way.(Enter the White Queen, totally dishevelled) Oh, your Majesty,<br />

what a state you’re in. Let me put you right. (She adjusts the Queen’s<br />

shawl, etc.)You should really have a lady’s maid.<br />

I’m sure I’ll take you with pleasure. Two pence a week and jam every<br />

other day.<br />

Very kind of you, but I don’t like jam.<br />

You wouldn’t get it even if you did like it. <strong>The</strong> rule is, jam tomorrow and<br />

jam yesterday - but never jam today. That’s one of the drawbacks of<br />

living backwards.<br />

Living backwards! I never heard of such a thing.<br />

...but there’s one great advantage in it, that one’s memory works both<br />

ways.<br />
