A LITTLE BIT OF TRICKERY
With the trap set, there is nothing to do but wait, and wait, and while they wait...
The Troll-Princess drags the Mouse Queen to the very
bushes that mark the entrance to the Candies' hideout
and collapses in a heap.
The lone guard, Coffee, hears the thud and rushes to investigate.
The Mouse Queen ices Coffee. The Mouse Queen spies on
the waiting group of Candy, and decides to do a little
entrapment herself.
MOUSE QUEEN
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF TRICKERY, TREACHERY, TRUMPERY - I CAN TAKE HER PLACE.
PRINCESS PIRLIPAT
YES, YOUR MAJESTY.
MOUSE QUEEN
ADD A TINY DOT OF SUBTLETY, QUACKERY, DUPERY –
I CAN TAKE HER FACE.
PRINCESS PIRLIPAT
YES, YOUR MAJESTY.
MOUSE QUEEN
I AM NOT ADVERSE TO PERJURY, FORGERY, GORGERY - DO WHAT MUST BE DONE.
PRINCESS PIRLIPAT
YES, YOUR MAJESTY.
MOUSE QUEEN
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES, I CAN CHANGE MY SIZE. TELL A BUNCH OF LIES.
THAT'D BE REALLY FUN!
