Mary Poppins

Song- How Lordly is the Life I Lead

Mr Banks:
Winifred, where are the children?

Mrs Banks:
They’re not here, dear!

Mr Banks:
What? Of course they’re here. Where else would they be? They should have been bathed and in bed now, why it’s already 6.15!

(From the back of the room, the constable begins to lead Michael and Jane up to the stage through the center aisle.)

Mrs Banks:
But George, they ran away from Katie Nanna. They’re missing again!

Mr Banks:
Missing!!! I’ll deal with this. (Using the phone, up stage stage left) George Banks here. 17 Cherry Tree Lane. It’s a matter of urgency. I should like you to send a policeman around immediately. (Constable, having reached the top of the steps at stage right, “rings” at the door. Mrs. Banks opens the door.)

Mrs Banks:
The policeman’s here George.

Mr Banks:
What? Well I never, how prompt. (into the telephone) What a wonderful service. Thank you so much. Goodnight! (hangs up the telephone and turns)

Mrs Banks:
(moving downstage) Come in constable, come in.

(The Constable steps inside, but Jane and Michael stay outside.)

Constable:
Thank you sir. While going about my duties on the other side of the park, I happen to have come across these here valuables. I believe they’re yours sir!

Mr Banks:
Valuables?

Constable:
Come along you two! (Jane and Michael come in.)

Mrs Banks:
Jane, Michael. (Giving them both a big hug!)

Mr Banks:
Please don’t be so emotional dear!

Constable:
Oh I wouldn’t be too hard on them sir, they’ve had a long and weary day!

Mr Banks (To Children): Come here at once. Well?
