Mother Did You Watch?

 Poor Meg...


Mother did you watch?

MEG
Mother did you watch?
Everything is sold
Mother can't you tell
The new routine it went so well!

I was worried just a touch
That it might have been too much
Just a bit, well rather free
But just listen to that crowd
Why they've never been so loud
Screaming only for me

GIRY
Meg....

MEG
And the master must have heard
Every note and every word
Mother tell me-did he see?

GIRY
Meg stop...

MEG
Even he will now concede
I'm the only one he'll need

 GIRY
Meg, sweet fool you did all that you could
Charming, bright and yet still not enough

MEG
What do you mean?

GIRY
How you danced! They're all entranced
All but the one whose entrancement we sought

MEG
He wasn't even there?!

GIRY
Where poor girl do you think that he was?
Yes! That's right! In with her all along

MEG
With Christine...

GIRY
Dreaming of their son, their love
Too smitten to spare you a moment of thought
All that you gave him has all been a waste

MEG
No! You're wrong!

GIRY
All you have done it has all been erased

MEG
No! Don't say that!

GIRY
Now he has them- as for us
We have both been replaced

MEG
No! NO!
