Maeterlinck, Maurice, 1862-1949

"The Blue Bird: a Fairy Play in Six Acts"


The_ CAT, _aside, to_ TYLTYL, _taking him apart_) But why
have you brought the Dog?... I have told you he is on the worst terms with
everybody, even the trees.... I fear that his odious presence will spoil
everything....
TYLTYL
I could not get rid of him.... (_To the_ DOG, _threatening him_)
Go away, you ugly thing!...
THE DOG
Who?... I?... Why?... What have I done?...
TYLTYL
I tell you, go away!... We don't want you here and there's an end of it....
You're a nuisance, there!...
THE DOG
I sha'n't say a word.... I shall follow you at a distance.... They sha'n't
see me.... Shall I beg?...
THE CAT (_aside, to_ TYLTYL)
Do you allow this disobedience?... Hit him on the nose with your stick; he
is really unbearable!...
TYLTYL (_beating the_ DOG)
There, that will teach you to be more obedient!...
THE DOG (_yelling_)
Ow! Ow! Ow!...
TYLTYL
What do you say?...
THE DOG
I must kiss you now you've beaten me!... (_He covers_ TYLTYL _with
violent kisses and embraces_.)
TYLTYL
Come.... That will do.... That's enough.... Go away!...
MYTYL
No, no; I want him to stay.... I am afraid of everything when he is not
there....
THE DOG (_leaping up and almost upsetting_ MYTYL, _whom he overwhelms with
hurried and enthusiastic kisses_)
Oh, the dear little girl!.
