TYLTYL (_suddenly recognising them_)
It's grandad and granny!...
MYTYL (_clapping her hands_)
Yes! Yes!... So it is! So it is!...
TYLTYL (_still a little distrustful_)
Take care!... We don't know yet if they can stir.... Let's keep behind the
tree....
(GRANNY TYL _opens her eyes, raises her head, stretches herself, gives
a sigh and looks at_ GAFFER TYL, _who also wakes slowly from his
sleep_.)
GRANNY TYL
I have a notion that our grandchildren who are still alive are coming to
see us today....
GAFFER TYL
They are certainly thinking of as, for I feel anyhow and I have pins and
needles in my legs....
GRANNY TYL
I think they must be quite near, for I see tears of joy dancing before my
eyes....
GAFFER TYL
No, no, they are a long way off.... I still feel weak....
GRANNY TYL
I tell you they are here; I am quite strong....
TYLTYL _and_ MYTYL (_rushing up from behind the oak_)
Here we are!... Here we are!... Gaffer! Granny!... It's we!... It's we!...
GAFFER TYL
There!... You see?... What did I tell you?... I was sure they would come
to-day....
GRANNY TYL
Tyltyl!... Mytyl!... It's you!... It's she!... (_Trying to run to meet
them_) I can't run!.
