She lives with a small niece, Noreen, and her four servants, at the ancestral home of the Donnells, Fa‘lls ParkManor. Because of her financial reverses, Lady Mary has been forced to place a mortgage on her estate, and. is having difficulty in meeting the payments. Suchis the situation when Noreen makes friends with a gentleman Vagabond whom she finds asleep in the garden. The stranger gives his name as Terence O’More. He is in search of lodg- ings, and Lady Mary decides to accommodate him because of her need for money. Adjoining the Donnell acres is Shereton Castle, the property of Squire Matthew Bax by, who wishes to marry Lady Mary. Mary believes him to be rich , but he’s really nearlybankrupt because of gambling‘ debts. Thinking to trade on Mary’s ignorance of business matters, and make a few hundred pounds on the deal, he persuades her to sign a second mortgage . Mary however, believes she is merelysigning over the first mortgage to him . . She trusts himto com- plete the transaction with her lawyer, Felix Murphy, and gives Baxby the interest money which is due that day. She believes that her financial worries are over for a while, as Baxby‘ has urged her, in the light of his regard for her, to take as much time as she wants in paying him . Terence and Squire Baxby have taken a lively dislike to each other, and with the help of Dar- by, one of ‘Mary’s servants, a message is dispatched to Felix O’Gill , a’_Dublin attorney, with a note from Terence,to watch Baxby and also to send to Terence by his messenger two hundred pounds. In the meantime, Mary has invited friends and neighbors in to meet Terence.Among the guests is Maureen McGibney, from Dublin, who recognizes Terence as Sir Terence O’Grady of Hitch- cock Court, a scion of a wealthy and noble family. She cleverly makes Terence admit he is in , love with Lady Mary, and as she has designs on Terence herself, she plans tobreakup the attachment. Terence declares his love to Mary, "a love which she returns , but in accordance with Maureen’s plan, her friend Molly O.’Tool reveals Terence’s real identity to Mary, telling her that he is bet- rothed to Maureen , and that his plan in coming to Falls Park Manor, was that he might purchase it for his future bride. Mary is heart broken, and to make matters ‘worse , Felix Murphy ar- r_ives to collect the interest money, and Mary learns of Squire Baxby’s duplicity. His scheme to raise money on the secondmortgage which she had unwittingly signed , is now apparent to her, and since she cannot meet the payment, she realizes she has lost Falls Park Manor. Terence tells Noreen the old well in the garden is a wishing well, and that the fairies who live there will grant anything she wishes. She wishes for a fortune in order to help heraunt Mary pay Felix Murphy. Terence manages to hide apackage of bank notes ,which the messen- ger,he dispatched to Dublin,_has brought, in the well, so that Noreen finds it, and thinks it the gift of thefairies. Felix Murphy is paid, and Falls Park Manor is saved for Lady Mary. But believing as she does that Terence has been amusing himself at her expense, and f eel- ing that Falls Park is really his ( she surmises it was his money Noreen found in the well ,)Ma1y decides to leave , and is in the act of doing so, when Terence insists on being allowed to make an explanation . The difficulties are accordingly straightened out, Mary learns of the falsity of Molly O’Tool’s story, and all ends happily. w.M.co. 4089 Costumes There are several ways “THE WISHING WELL” may be costumed effectively, all in keeping with the character ofthe piece. . First Way Colonial costumes may be worn by all the characters, with or without the white wigs.Te- rence shoul_d not wear awhite wig at opening of the piece. He may change his costume after singing “Mary Macushla” in Act 1. and then wear the white wig, if so desired. Second VVay TERENCE . . . . . First Costume: Brown corduroy knee breeches and sack coat, wide brimmed black hat with red feather across the fro r1t,(scc cut in guz'a’e)brown or black cape, low shoes with buckles, white ballet shirt, Wind- sor tie. Second Costume: Blue satin knee breeches, white silk hose,patent' leather low shoes with fancy buckles, blue satin coat cut likethe pres- ent day evening coat, fancy satin vest of different color, lace stock. (see cut in guide ) Third Costume: Same style, only black satin, with black silk hose. SQUIRE BAXBY. . Brown knee length breeches, riding boots, long‘ coat with cape,fan- cy vest of different color, Irish derby of the period with buckle in front (see out z'ngm'a’e,) white stock of lace. He should carryaridn ing crop. DARBY. . . . . . . Green knee breeches, green coat with brass buttons out like evening coat of present day, -light vest, linen stock, low shoes with buckles. DAN . . . . . . . . Same as Darby but of another color. The rest of the male characters and chorus, same style costumes a s those described above. Girls’ Costumes Girls’costumes may be made from silk or silkoline. Tight fitting bodice and panniers of a figured material. Have bodice cut low neck and elbow sleeves with ruffle of lace at neck and elbow. Skirt of aplain material, rather full, ankle length; leghorn hat orpoke bonnet, white hose, low black shoes with fancy buckles. MARY, NOREEN, MOLLY AND MAUREEN, THE sAME STYLE , COSTUMES, BUT MORE ELABORATE. NORA AND KATHLEEN, SAME STYLE BUT LESS ELABORATE. Third Way If it is desirable to cut down the expense on costuming the piece, it is possible to do so and yet make the costumes very effective. This may be done by havingthe men wear the regular evening coats with knee breeches made from any long trousers, low shoes with buckles that may be made from tin , or ca rd board and then silvered or gilded; cover an old vest with flowered cretonne and make a sto c k from white cotton goods; silk hat or derby may be worn. If derby is worn it would be well to sew a buckle in front, white hose. , The girls may wear any pretty afternoon gowns of silk or cotton material. No change of costume for any of the characters need be made unless desired. You will see that it is possible to produce “THE WISHING VVELL” as far as costumes are concerned, very effectively at small cost , or they may be very elaborate.

When a child, I often visited at Hitchcock Court with my parents who were great friends of the O’Grady’s. (Forgrtrmg /12'/use/_f ) Do ye remember now the day ye fell off the pony? VVhy,how did you know that ? (_C0nfu.s‘m’) Well ye see, that is--_-- Why Terence has often spoken ofyou and how you and he played together when children. He told me that there was a sort ofchildhood engagement between ye. Yes, I believe it was the wish ofour parents that sometime we mightmar- ry, but that was long ago. The Donnells have fallen in a bad state and the O’Grady’s would hardly wish their son to form an alliance with an impoverished family. But I say now! That’s not like the O’Grady’s, at all, at all.

Now I won’t need to bother you for advice, as Ican send the money by Dan this afternoon. . V5/hy don’t you-let me relieve you of all this worry by becoming the mis- tress of my heart and home ? . I’ve told you, Matthew, I can’t give my hand unless my heart goes with it . . VVhich is apolite way of telling me that my attentions are not welcome. . Let’s talk ofsomething more interesting. . VVhat could be more interesting than making love to‘ the ‘charming'LadyMaryDonnell? . Don’t be absurd, Matthew. . Then perhapsyou’ll listen toaplan I have to relieve you of the worry of scrimping and saving to meet the interest on this mortgage? . Now you are interesting, Matthew. . Let me take over this mortgage for you and then you can take all the time you wish to pay it. Better yet, I’ll cut the interest you’re paying now in half.

I’m afraid your kindness of heart is running away with your better judge- ment ,but although we’ve been friends and neighbors since childhood I can’t as cept favors from your, especially in money matters.I appreciate your kindness , but- Don’t be foolish, Mary. Look upon it simply as a business proposition,leav- ing the personal element out entirely. A mortgage on Falls Park Manor is agood investment for any man's money. Andyyou’ll look upon it in that light ? Most assuredly. Then I'll communicate with Mr. Murphy and have him come down to-night. . There’ll be no need ofthat as I am going to Dublin to-day and I can arrange the matter. In fact , Ihave the papers here , knowing you would agree with me that this is your best plan. . You’re very kind and thoughtful’ Matthew. (Handing paper to Mary) You sign here (Points to line on [Japer-)'and I’l1 attend to the rest.

Perhaps it is and perhaps it isn’t. But supposin’ it was, what’s so funny about it ? . Why,it’s too amusing for words. The Honorable Sir Terence Fitzpatrick O’Grady of Hitchcock Court, who could have any girl in Dublin, falling in love with a little country mouse. (Laughs) It’s the best laugh I’ve had in a month.

That is, Ithought he was, when all of a sudden he left Dublin without a word, after showing me all kinds of attention. He and his for- tune shan’t escape me so easily. I’m not going to sit idly by and see a lit- tle country girl grab the biggest catch in Ireland. You mean Mary Donnell ? . Yes, Mary Donnell. You’ve got to help me, Molly. We’ll give Mr. Terence O’Grady a black eye. You tell this Mary Donnell that he’s engaged to me and that he came down here to buy this place for me. Come, and we’ll think out a plan .

As soon as the Leprechaun had given her the promise o’the three wishes,she ran for home as fast as she could to let Barney make one o’ the wishes, although,mind ye, she couldn’t tell him thatshehad caught the little rascal or the spell would be broken . Barney was hoein’ pataties in the garden, Bridget all out of breath with runnin’ said“Barney lad what is it ye wish most,for in all the world? Barney was admirin’ thewiddy Mc Gintie’s fine fat pig that was crossin’ the road and said“Faith ,and Iwish I owned that pig’; Sure the words were scarcely out of his mouth than the pig was standin’ ferninst him. Bridget was so f labbergasted that one of her fine wishes should be wasted that sheforgettin’ herself blurted out ‘Kn its wishin’ I am that the pig was a hangin’ from your nose’.’ No sooner were the Words out of her mouth than the pig was a danglin’ from poor Barneys nose. I’ll bet. Barney was scared. Well, who wouldn’t be ? . Couldn’t Barney get the pig off his nose, Uncle Terence? Indeed he couldn’t though he pulled and tugged with all his might,and he and the pig ayellin’ like mad all the time. What in the world did he do ? Well ye see the only way out was for Bridget to use her third and last wish to free Barney from the pig, and this she did. Ye see they were no better off than before Bridget caught the Leprechaun . So it’s carefulye must be when ye catch the little elf,whatye may be a Wishin’. Ibelieve when I want a wish I’ll ask the fairies in the well. It’s sensible ye are and then ye won’t be gettin’ any pigs a danglin’ from that pretty nose 0’ yours . Say, don’ t you know a song about the Leprechaun ? Well,I used to know old Matthew Duffy whose second cousin used to sing a song about the little cobbler. Don’t you remember how it goes ?

Co. 4089 lO7 Act III ( Terence is siz‘iing on seal‘ at L. when curtain rises) . . (Enters from house at L. goes to Terence) What’s the matter with every one around here, Uncle Terence ? I’ve found the fortune and everything and yet every- body looks all scowly like old Mr. Murphy did when I gave him the money. Aunt Mary, Noreen, where is she ? . Oh she’s crying, I think. She was, just now, while she was packing our things. . (Agitated) Packing your things! . Yes, we’re going‘ away, Aunt Mary says. Go and tell Aunt Mary she musn’t do that. . I did, but she said this place doesn’t belong to us any more,that you bought it for Maureen M9 Gibney, and that you’re going to marry her. But that isn’t sois it, Uncle Terence? . No, darlin’, it isn’t. . (Comes to door of house at L.) Noreen! Lady Mary, won’tyou let me explain ? . I’m sure there’s nothing to explain , Mr. O’Grady. . VVhat’s the matter, Aunt Mary, don’t you love Uncle Terence any more ? Hush, Noreen . Won’t you give mejust a moment ofyour time,. Mary ? Very well, ifyou insist. Run to the house, Noreen. (Goes to door ofhouse a2‘L. turns) I don’t know what’s it all about , b ut you both are acting awful queer. (Exi2"‘ info house) Noreen tells me that for some reason ye think I own this place and that Ibought it for Maureen M9Gibney. You did, didn’t you ? . Certainly not. You put the money in the well, didn’t you ? Yes, I did that to help you. 108 MARY . . . . . . . Molly O’Tool told me that you were here incognito to buy Falls Park Manor and that you were going to give it to Maureen M9Gibney for a wedding present. TERENCE. . . . . Then she told a falsehood. I’ve never wanted to marry any one in all the world until I learned to know ye, Mary. I put the money in the well know- in’ ye were too proud to accept it from me. I did wrong in deceivin’ ye a- bout me identity. I realize that now, I came here as Terence O’Morebe- cause me mother’s heart has always been set on me winin’ ye for mewife and I wanted to know you without your knowin’ me real identity---_- MARY . . . . . . . You were afraid that the temptation of becoming the wife of Sir Terence Fitzpatrick O'Grady of Hitchcock court would be too much ofa tempta- tion for me and that I would accept you with out any love in my heart----- TERENCE. . . . . Don’t Mary. Iknow I deserve your scorn , but Ididn’t know ye then. It’s only that I’ve been a bigger fool than usual. But it’s you who have shown me the golden road, Mary. Won’t ye believe in me and take me hand so we can travel it together ? MARY. . . . .. . . Terence, Ido believe in you. I see it all now, Molly O’Tool’s story, and all the rest. Oh,how could I have been so foolish as to believe her?G1n you ever forgive me, Terence? TERENCE. . . . . (Taking her in his arms) Forgive ye! I'll forgive ye anythin’ ifye’ll only marry me. NOREEN . . . . . . (Coming to door of house) I’ve been asking the fairies to make every - thing-all sunny and happy again. TERENCE. . . . . (Holding out his hand to her. She comes to his L.) Well darlin’ yo ur wish has come true, and we’ll all have to be givin’ our thanks, I'm a think- in’, to the old wishing well. ( The piece may be closed i" two ways. First by having just the three characters on for the final curtain . In this case Terence sings the refrain of “Mary Macushla My Irish Queen? His right arm around Mary and his left arm around Noreen while he sings.) (Curt ain) t ( Second way ----- take the finale as it is arranged in the score. The chorus entering at R . & L. I, 2, and 3.
