FIRE Enough! Enough!... I can't swim!...
WATER I shall no longer be able to tell you as clearly as I do to-day that I love you; but you will not forget that that is what I am saying to you when you hear my voice.... Alas!... I can say no more.... My tears choke me and prevent my speaking....
FIRE It doesn't sound like it!...
WATER Think of me when you see the water-bottle.... Alas! I have to be silent there; but my thoughts will always be of you.... You will find me also in the ewer, the watering-can, the cistern and the tap....
MILK (approaching timidly) And me in the milk-jug....
TYLTYL What, you too, my dear Milk, so shy and so good?... Is everybody going?...
SUGAR (naturally mawkish and sanctimonious) If you have a little corner left in your memory, remember sometimes that my presence was sweet to you.... That is all I have to say.... Tears are not in harmony with my temperament and they hurt me terribly when they fall on my feet....
BREAD Jesuit!...
FIRE (yelping) Sugar-plum! Lollipop! Caramel!...
TYLTYL But where are Tylette and Tylô gone to?... What are they doing?...
