Soon they came to the village, which looked so strange and quiet by the early morning light, with the cottage-doors all shut, and the windows closed and the blinds drawn. Humpty jumped down to open the gate leading up the drive, and there on the doorstep were mummie and daddy, looking so white and ill, who had come out of the house at the sound of the wheels on the gravel to greet them.
In the end Diamond, growing tired of his antics, pitched him over his head, but the clown did not seem to mind, for before he had reached the ground he turned an immense somersault then another and the third carried him right through the entrance back into the meadow where the caravans were standing. "Humpty," asked Dumpty, "what are we to do?"
'You needn't go on making remarks like that, Humpty Dumpty said: 'they're not sensible, and they put me out. 'I sent a message to the fish: I told them "This is what I wish." The little fishes of the sea, They sent an answer back to me. The little fishes' answer was "We cannot do it, Sir, because " 'I'm afraid I don't quite understand, said Alice.
"Ivede-Avede," cried some. "Humpty Dumpty," cried others, and there was a fine shouting and crying out. But the fir-tree remained quite still, and thought to himself, "Shall I have anything to do with all this?" but he had already amused them as much as they wished. Then the old man told them the story of Humpty Dumpty, how he fell down stairs, and was raised up again, and married a princess.
'Now I declare that's too bad! Humpty Dumpty cried, breaking into a sudden passion. 'You've been listening at doors and behind trees and down chimneys or you couldn't have known it! 'I haven't, indeed! Alice said very gently. 'It's in a book. 'Ah, well! 'That's what you call a History of England, that is. Now, take a good look at me! She watched him a little anxiously as she took it.
"Don't 'e cry, dear," said the woman; "there's no call to be afraid." But Dumpty still cried. "Why did you lock us in?" asked Humpty defiantly.
Humpty dumpty fell downstairs, and yet he married a princess; perhaps I shall also marry a princess! And then it thought of a pretty little birch-tree that grew out in the wood, and seemed to the fir-tree a real princess, and a very beautiful one too. 'Who is Humpty Dumpty? asked the little mice.
Mildenburg played it as a mixture of Lady Macbeth and Queen Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. And when she sang fortissimo all the Strauss horses and all the Strauss men were as supine, tonally speaking, as Humpty Dumpty. Her voice is of a sultry tonal splendour. The two new opera-houses also theatres are set in a park, as should be art and opera houses.
It might have been written a hundred times, easily, on that enormous face. Humpty Dumpty was sitting with his legs crossed, like a Turk, on the top of a high wall such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered how he could keep his balance and, as his eyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction, and he didn't take the least notice of her, she thought he must be a stuffed figure after all.
In 1862 Fox was at the Bowery Theatre, and, during his occupation of the same, he did much to popularise Pantomime. Half a dozen years afterwards we find him at the Olympic Theatre, New York, where he produced "Humpty Dumpty," which ran 483 nights, and for five years, till 1873, it held its place, on and off, in the bill. Altogether it was played 943 times.
