FIRE
Enough! Enough!... I can't swim!...
WATER
I shall no longer be able to tell you as clearly as I do to-day that I love
you; but you will not forget that that is what I am saying to you when you
hear my voice.... Alas!... I can say no more.... My tears choke me and
prevent my speaking....
FIRE
It doesn't sound like it!...
WATER
Think of me when you see the water-bottle.... Alas! I have to be silent
there; but my thoughts will always be of you.... You will find me also in
the ewer, the watering-can, the cistern and the tap....
MILK (_approaching timidly_)
And me in the milk-jug....
TYLTYL
What, you too, my dear Milk, so shy and so good?... Is everybody going?...
SUGAR (_naturally mawkish and sanctimonious_)
If you have a little corner left in your memory, remember sometimes that my
presence was sweet to you.... That is all I have to say.... Tears are not
in harmony with my temperament and they hurt me terribly when they fall on
my feet....
BREAD
Jesuit!...
FIRE (_yelping_)
Sugar-plum! Lollipop! Caramel!...
TYLTYL
But where are Tylette and Tylo gone to?... What are they doing?...
(_The_ CAT _is heard to utter shrill cries_.)
MYTYL (_alarmed_)
It's Tylette crying!.
