Excellent!
JONATHAN
They're not very good, but Susan always wants me to write the poetry for the music.
[Aunt Letitia has repacked the trunk and locked it. She sees that Nathaniel and Jonathan are getting on famously.
LETITIA
I'll go to the house now and you can talk to Jonathan, Nathaniel.
[Jonathan looks appealingly at Letitia, but with a smile she goes downstairs.
Jonathan and Nathaniel look at each other for an embarrassed minute, then Jonathan takes refuge at his theatre.
NATHANIEL
May I see some of your plays?
JONATHAN
Do you really want to see them?
NATHANIEL
Yes.
[Jonathan goes to a box on the piano in which there are many manuscripts carefully bound. He hands one to Nathaniel.
JONATHAN
Here is one that mother and I wrote. She loved the theatre.
NATHANIEL (taking the strange-looking little manuscript.Reading:)
"Robin Hood and His Merry Men."
JONATHAN
We used to make all those old stories into plays.
NATHANIEL
Do you like to write?
JONATHAN
Oh, yes. I wish I could write real plays, but there's no one to help me now. My mother used to correct them and tell me what was wrong. She knew a lot about the theatre and she used to tell me all sorts of things. But now Aunt Letitia doesn't say anything. Sometimes she comes to a show, but she can't help me. And Uncle John doesn't like the theatre. He thinks I'm too old to give shows, but I can't help it. There's nothing I like so much.
NATHANIEL
May I read this some time?
JONATHAN
Yes, sir.... Would you like to see it played?
NATHANIEL
I want to see them all.
JONATHAN
Forty-one of them?
NATHANIEL
Forty-one of them! Where do you keep them all?
JONATHAN
Here in this box.
[He shows all the manuscripts.
NATHANIEL
What are the pink ones?
JONATHAN
Those are the ones mother liked best and these—(showing blue ones) are the ones I liked best.... I like them all now, but it used to be lots of fun to choose our favorites.
NATHANIEL
What is this one that's different from all the rest?
JONATHAN
That's one that mother wrote all by herself. It's best of all.
NATHANIEL
You must save these carefully, Jonathan—all your life.
JONATHAN
Oh, yes, sir.
