) Those who love me and whom I love always find me
again.... (_To the_ THINGS _and the_ ANIMALS) This way, all of
you....
(_She goes out with the_ THINGS _and the_ ANIMALS. _The_
CHILDREN _remain alone in the middle of the stage. The curtain, opens and
discloses the next scene_.)


SCENE 2.--_The Graveyard_.
_It is night. The moon is shining on a country graveyard.. Numerous
tombstones, grassy mounds, wooden crosses, stone slabs, etc_. TYLTYL
_and_ MYTYL _are standing by a short stone pillar_.
MYTYL
I am frightened!...
TYLTYL (_not too much at his ease_)
I am never frightened....
MYTYL
I say, are the dead wicked?...
TYLTYL
Why, no, they're not alive!...
MYTYL
Have you ever seen one?...
TYLTYL
Yes, once, long ago, when I was very young....
MYTYL
What was it like, say?...
TYLTYL
Quite white, very still and very cold and it didn't talk....
MYTYL
Are we going to see them, say?...
TYLTYL
Why, of course, Light said so....
MYTYL
Where are they?...
TYLTYL
Here, under the grass or under those big stones....
MYTYL
Are they there all the year round?...
TYLTYL
Yes.
MYTYL (_pointing to the slabs_)
Are those the doors of their houses?.
