THE NEIGHBOUR Béry... what? Goodness gracious me!...

TYLTYL Bérylune.

THE NEIGHBOUR Berlingot, you mean Berlingot....

TYLTYL Bérylune or Berlingot, as you please, ma'am.... But Mytyl knows....

MUMMY TYL That's the worst of it, that Mytyl also....

DADDY TYL Pooh, pooh!... That will soon go; I will give them a smack or two....

THE NEIGHBOUR Don't; It's not worth while.... I know all about it; it's only a little fit of dreaming.... They must have slept in the moonbeams.... My little girl, who is very ill, is often like that....

MUMMY TYL By the way, how is your little girl?...

THE NEIGHBOUR Only so-so.... She can't get up.... The doctor says that it's her nerves.... I know what would cure her, for all that. She was asking me for it only this morning, for her Christmas box; it's a notion she has...

MUMMY TYL Yes, I know; it's Tyltyl's bird.... Well, Tyltyl, aren't you going to give it at last to that poor little thing?...
