Maeterlinck, Maurice, 1862-1949

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

...
TYLTYL (_wiping his knife_)
Well, but for the Dog and if I had not had my knife!... I would never have
believed that they were so wicked!...
LIGHT
You see that Man is all alone against all in this world....
THE DOG
Are you very badly hurt, my little god?...
TYLTYL
Nothing serious.... As for Mytyl, they have not touched her.... But you, my
dear Tylo?... Your mouth is all over blood and your paw is broken!...
THE DOG
It is not worth speaking of.... It won't show to-morrow.... But it was a
tough fight!...
THE CAT (_appearing from behind a thicket, limping_)
I should think so!... The Ox caught me a blow with his horns in the
stomach.... You can't see the marks, but it's very painful.... And the Oak
broke my paw....
THE DOG
I should like to know which one....
MYTYL (_stroking the_ CAT)
My poor Tylette, did he really?.... Where were you?... I did not see
you....
THE CAT (_hypocritically_)
Mummy dear, I was wounded at the first, while attacking that horrid Pig,
who wanted to eat you.... And then the Oak gave me a great blow which
struck me senseless....
THE DOG (_to the_ CAT, _between his teeth_)
As for you, I want a word with you presently.
