TYLTYL But ask Mytyl if it's not true.... Oh, we have had such adventures!...
MUMMY TYL Why Mytyl?... What do you mean?...
TYLTYL She was with me.... We saw grandad and granny....
MUMMY TYL (more and more bewildered) Grandad and granny?...
TYLTYL Yes, in the Land of Memory.... It was on our way.... They are dead, but they are quite well.... Granny made us a lovely plum-tart.... And then the little brothers—Robert, Jean and his top—and Madeleine and Pierrette and Pauline and Riquette, too....
MYTYL Riquette still goes about on all fours!...
TYLTYL And Pauline still has a pimple on her nose....
MUMMY TYL Have you found the key of the cupboard where daddy hides his brandy bottle?...
TYLTYL Does daddy hide a brandy bottle?...
MUMMY TYL Certainly. One has to hide everything when one has little meddlesome good-for-nothings like you.... But come, out with it, confess that you took it.... I would rather it was that.... I sha'n't tell daddy.... I sha'n't beat you....
