Mary Poppins (part 4)

-I thought the children were with their father... I hope you haven't been running off again...
-Well not exactly running off ma'am... They've had a bit of a fright though... Need someone to look after them...
-Oh... Of course,.. Mary Poppins... but she's not here yet, it's her day off... and I have to go too, I'm dreadfully late... Perhaps you sir... you've been so kind in looking after the children!
-Me ma'am? Well, I have some chimneys to clean...
-Oh how clever! Our chimney smokes terribly so could you please clean it? It will amuse the children too!
-But...
-Oh , thank you so much. I do appreciate it. I must hurry. Our gallant ladies in prison are waiting for me to lead them in song! Good-bye, my darlings.




-It looks so dark up there!
-Well that's so wrong! Can you believe that the chimney is actually a doorway to a magical place! And the sight from the rooftops of London is wonderful!
-Really! I do wish we could go up there!




-Can I try to sweep the chimney too?
-OK, here! Can you feel the pull on the end of that brush?... Oh Mary Poppins you're back!
-Be careful! You never know what may happen around a fireplace!




-Oh no!...




... Whooooshhh...
-What?...




-Michael... where are you? Come back down here...!




-It's OK Michael,... Oh look! Mary Poppins is coming up the chimney too!...
