. Do you see the shutters?...
MYTYL
Oh, how bright they are!...
TYLTYL
It's the lights of the party.
MYTYL
What party?...
TYLTYL
The rich children opposite. It's the Christmas-tree. Let's open the
shutters....
MYTYL
Can we?...
TYLTYL
Of course; there's no one to stop us.... Do you hear the music?... Let us
get up....
(_The two_ CHILDREN _get up, run to one of the windows, climb on
to the stool and throw back the shutters. A bright light fills the room.
The_ CHILDREN _look out greedily_.)
TYLTYL
We can see everything!...
MYTYL (_who can hardly find room on the stool_)
I can't....
TYLTYL
It's snowing!... There's two carriages, with six horses each!...
MYTYL
There are twelve little boys getting out!...
TYLTYL
How silly you are!... They're little girls....
MYTYL
They've got knickerbockers....
TYLTYL
What do you know?... Don't push so!...
MYTYL
I never touched you.
TYLTYL (_who is taking up the whole stool_)
You're taking up all the room...
MYTYL
Why, I have no room at all!...
TYLTYL
Do be quiet! I see the tree!...
MYTYL
What tree?...
TYLTYL
Why, the Christmas-tree!... You're looking at the wall!...
MYTYL
I'm looking at the wall because I've got no room.
