Hold, monsters!?
Ere your pirate caravanserai Proceed,
against our will, to wed us all,
Just bear in mind that we are Wards in Chancery,
And father is a Major-General!
SAMUEL (cowed)
We'd better pause, or danger may befall,
Their father is a Major-General.
GIRLS
Yes, yes; he is a Major-General!
(The MAJOR-GENERAL has entered unnoticed, on the rock)
GENERAL
Yes, yes, I am a Major-General!
SAMUEL
For he is a Major-General!
ALL
He is!?Hurrah for the Major-General!
GENERAL
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Major-General!
AL
It is!?Hurrah for the Major-General!
Hurrah for the Major-General!
