FINAL TABLEAU.--AT THE GENERAL EXIT.

_Crush of enthusiastic Britons, gazing at a gigantic ornament from the

Jubilee Cake. Various exclamations._ "All of it pure sugar, I shouldn't

wonder!"--"What do you think of _that_ for a cake, JEMMY?"--"Lift JOEY

up to have a look!"--"Well, I do call that grand!"

_Loyal Old Lady (forcing her way to the front--disappointedly)._ But

that's only the _trimmings!_

_A Bystander (correctively)._ You can't expect any Cake to keep long,

with so many in the family; and, even as it is, you get some ideer what

it must have been!

_All (deeply impressed)._ Ah, you do, indeed--you get that! Well, I'm

glad I came; I shan't forget this as long as I live!

[_Exeunt awestruck--their places are taken by others, who gaze long and

respectfully on the Cake. Scene closes in._
