. I'll be even with him!... What have you been whispering
about, you sneak, you tiger, you Judas!... Wow, wow, wow!....
THE CAT
You see, he insults everybody....
TYLTYL
Yes, he is unbearable and one can't hear one's self speak.... Mr. Ivy, will
you chain him up, please?...
THE IVY (_timorously going up to the_ DOG)
Won't he bite?...
THE DOG (_growling_)
On the contrary, on the contrary!... He's going to kiss you!... Just wait
and see!... Come along, come along, you old ball of twine, you!...
TYLTYL (_threatening him with his stick_)
Tylo!...
THE DOG (_cringing at_ TYLTYL'S _feet and wagging his tail_)
What am I to do, my little god?
TYLTYL
Lie down flat!... Obey the Ivy.... Let him bind you, or....
THE DOG (_growling between his teeth, while the_ IVY _binds him_)
Ball of twine I... Hunk of yarn!... Hangman's rope I... Calves' leash!...
Look, my little god I ... He's cutting my paws!... He's choking me!...
TYLTYL
I don't care!... It's your own fault.... Hold your tongue; be quiet; you're
unbearable!...
THE DOG
You're wrong, for all that.... They mean mischief.... Take care, my little
god!... He's closing my mouth!... I can't speak!...
THE IVY (_who has tied up the_ DOG _like a parcel_)
Where shall we put him?.
