Scene First. — At the left of the stage an old lady is asleep in a high chair. She is dressed in black, or in any plain dress; wears a white apron ; and has a white shawl folded across her shoulders ; also a high cap and spectacles, which have fallen upon her nose. At the right, a girl sits at the spinning-wheel. She has on a bright, short skirt, white waist, red or black bodice; on her head a cap of lace gathered in a rosette, with very long ribbons streaming from it; on her arms she has three ribbons, - one at two inches above the wrist, the next below the elbow, the third near the shoulder. A youth is kneeling at her feet, holding her left hand. She looks archly at him, regardless of the unconscious grandmother. The youth has ribbons upon his arms, like the girl. He has no coat on, but bright suspenders joined in front with two bars.

Scene Second. — The lovers remain as before, except that the grandmother has wakened, and is just raising her broom, with the intention of waking the young man also.

Scene Third. - The grandmother holds the lovers apart at arm's-length, by grasping one ear of each. The girl is crying at the left side; and the youth, at the right of grandmother, looks sheepishly down, with his finger in his mouth. Next, draw away the back curtain again, and show more pictures, which the assistant has had time enough to prepare.

In the centre frame stands a gleaner. In one small frame, a child with a red cape over her head, and a little basket in her hand, personates Red Riding-Hood; and in the other, a marchioness.
