I don't know.
SUSAN
He ran away. Why doesn't he come home?
JONATHAN
Because--oh, I don't know.
SUSAN
Who are you?
JONATHAN
I'm a vagrant.
SUSAN
Are you hungry?
JONATHAN (_looking toward Hank_)
No. I'm not.... I'm not begging.... But will you do something for me?
SUSAN
Yes, if I can.
[Ill.u.s.tration: JONATHAN MAKES A WISH
ACT II.]
JONATHAN
Will you play for me?
SUSAN
Oh, yes.... What shall I play?
JONATHAN
Anything.
[_Jonathan notices his dirty hands._
Excuse me a moment.
[_He goes to a bird-bath and washes his hands, wipes them and returns to the piano._
_Susan plays a bit of a nocturne with ease and grace._
JONATHAN
Do you remember this?
[_He hums "All on a Summer Day."_
SUSAN
Oh, yes.
[_She plays the tune in a sophisticated musical way, but Jonathan is disappointed._
SUSAN
You don't like it?
JONATHAN
That isn't exactly the way it goes.
SUSAN
Oh, yes, it is.
[_She plays it once more and sings it._
JONATHAN
No--no--no. It ought to go this way.
[_He sings it as he had sung it years before._
SUSAN
You sing that just as Jonathan used to sing it.
JONATHAN
I like it that way.
SUSAN
Did Jonathan teach it to you?
JONATHAN
