SCENE XI
The Awakening
The same scene as in Act I. TYLTYL is sound asleep. The light trickles gaily through all the crannies of the closed shutters. The Blue Bird is singing madly in his cage.
(A knock at the door.)
TYLTYL
(Waking with a start.) Who's there?
MUMMY TYL
(Behind the door.) It's me!... Open the door quickly!... We're expecting a visitor....
TYLTYL
Wait, wait, till I slip on my breeches.... (Rising and seeing with amazement that he is dressed.) Hullo, I've gone to bed with my clothes on! How did I come to do that?...
(He opens the door. Enter MUMMY TYL fussily, carrying a bundle of sticks.)
