TYLTYL
Yes, miss, but I wasn't sure....
ROSARELLE
Miss? What do you mean? That's not my name. My name's Rosarelle; and you know it.... There was a big dinner at my father's, for Christmas. Your thoughts came to fetch me while we were at dessert. I jumped up at once and upset a glass of champagne. They were alarmed and thought I was ill and began to fuss: it was as much as I could do to get away. Still, here I am and I'm going to kiss you.... Do you remember how we used to look at each other when you came to the yard with your bundles of wood?...
TYLTYL
Oh, yes! You were so lovely, I couldn't take my eyes off you.... But you are lovelier than ever to-day.
ROSARELLE
That was the beginning; but I didn't quite realize it till the day you gave me the three little bullfinches which you found in the forest.
TYLTYL
Yes, yes, I remember.... I knew too.... Are they still alive?
