... Let me see, show me your tongue.... Come, get up and dress....
TYLTYL
Hullo, I've got my shirt on!...
MUMMY TYL
Of course you have.... Put on your breeches and your little jacket....
There they are, on the chair....
TYLTYL
Is that what I did on the journey?...
MUMMY TYL
What journey?...
TYLTYL
Why, last year....
MUMMY TYL
Last year?...
TYLTYL
Why, yes!...At Christmas, when I went away....
MUMMY TYL
When you went away?... You haven't left the room.... I put you to bed last
night, and here you are this morning.... Have you dreamed all that?...
TYLTYL
But you don't understand!... It was last year, when I went away with Mytyl,
the Fairy, Light--how nice Light is!--Bread, Sugar, Water, Fire: they did
nothing but quarrel!... You're not angry with me?... Did you feel very
sad?... And what did daddy say?... I could not refuse... I left a note to
explain....
MUMMY TYL
What are you talking about?... For sure, either you're ill or else you're
still asleep.... (_She gives him a friendly shake_.) There, wake
up.... There, is that better?...
TYLTYL
But, mummy, I assure you.... It's you that's still asleep....
MUMMY TYL
What! Still asleep, am I?.
