...
THE FAIRY
And your grandpapa and grandmamma?...
TYLTYL
They're dead....
THE FAIRY
And your little brothers and sisters.... Have you any?...
TYLTYL
Oh, yes; three little brothers....
MYTYL
And four little sisters....
THE FAIRY
Where are they?...
TYLTYL
They are dead, too....
THE FAIRY
Would you like to see them again?...
TYLTYL
Oh, yes!... At once!... Show them to us!...
THE FAIRY
I haven't got them in my pocket.... But this is very lucky; you will see
them when you go through the Land of Memory.... It's on the way to the Blue
Bird, just on the left, past the third turning.... What were you doing when
I knocked?...
TYLTYL
We were playing at eating cakes?...
THE FAIRY
Have you any cakes?... Where are they?...
TYLTYL
In the house of the rich children.... Come and look, it's so lovely. (_He
drags the_ FAIRY _to the window_.)
THE FAIRY (_at the window_)
But it's the others who are eating them!...
TYLTYL
Yes; but we can see them eat....
THE FAIRY
Aren't you cross with them?...
TYLTYL
What for?...
THE FAIRY
For eating all the cakes.... I think it's very wrong of them not to give
you some....
TYLTYL
Not at all; they're rich.
