MUMMY TYL
Quick, quick!... Help me light the fire and tidy the room.... Go and wake up Mytyl.... They'll be here in a minute.
TYLTYL
(Doing his best to help her.) Who's "they"?
MUMMY TYL
Of course, you don't know. Daddy Tyl met them yesterday, but you had gone to bed.... Do open the shutters, I can't see what I'm doing.... (TYLTYL opens the shutters and the daylight floods the room.) And call Mytyl, so that she can help me to get things straight.... What a mess!... And the dust! I can't let them see my house like this. (Enter MYTYL.)
TYLTYL
Hullo, there Mytyl is!... But you haven't told me....
MUMMY TYL
(To MYTYL.) The fire's beginning to burn up.... You make the coffee, while I start cleaning.... What's this? More cabbage leaves under the tap!
