Ted monologue (Act 6) — Christmas Candles: Plays for Boys and Girls

[_reading_] "Encyclopedia Britannica." Now Papa can't possibly want that, because he knows all about everything already. And besides, I heard Mamma say she hadn't a bit of room for any more books. "New knife." He did say his old one was dull, but it's altogether too sharp for Robin and me to use, and that's sharp enough for anybody! "New pocketbook." Why, he said the other day he hadn't any money to put into it, so I don't see what good that'll do him. "Key ring." If he has that, he'll put _all_ the keys on it, and there won't be any for Robin and me to drop lead through. [_Turns to the_ BROWNIE.] So, you see, there isn't a thing that he really wants on that list.
