FIRE (frisking about) I'm not afraid of them!... I am used to burning them.... Time was when I burnt them all; that was much more amusing than nowadays ...
TYLTYL And why Is Tylô trembling?... Is he afraid, too?...
THE DOG I?... I'm not trembling!... I am never afraid; but if you went away, I should go too....
TYLTYL And has the Cat nothing to say?...
THE CAT (mysteriously) I know what's what....
TYLTYL (to LIGHT) Are you coming with us?...
LIGHT No; it is better that I should remain at the gate of the graveyard with the Things and the Animals.... Some of them would be too frightened and I fear that the others would misbehave.... Fire, in particular, would want to burn the dead, as of old; and that is no longer done.... I shall leave you alone with Mytyl....
TYLTYL And may not Tylô stay with us?...
THE DOG Yes, yes, I shall stay; I shall stay here I... I want to stay with my little god!...
LIGHT It is impossible.... The Fairy gave formal orders; besides, there is nothing to fear....
