(JALLINE moves away with slow reluctant steps.)
LIGHT
And, now that we are alone, let me kiss you too.... We shall meet once again to take another and a longer journey....
TYLTYL
Another journey? And a longer one?
LIGHT
The last, the happiest and the most beautiful. But I am not allowed to speak of it yet.... Good-bye, Tyltyl. Remember, dear, that you are not alone in this world and that all that you see in it has neither beginning nor end. With this thought in your heart, letting it grow with your growth, you will always know, whatever may happen, the right thing to say, the right thing to hope for.... And you, Tiny, don't cry like that! Some day we shall begin to understand each other.
DESTINY
(Half-asleep, tearfully, lisping.) Me? I never cwy!... I order a thtop!... Forward! Forward! Forward!
(LIGHT goes out on the left, carrying DESTINY in her arms. TYLTYL follows her a little way, waving his hand in farewell; and the Curtain opens on the last scene.)
