TYLTYL Quite well, granny.... They were asleep when we went out....
GRANNY TYL (gazing at them and covering them with caresses) Lord, how pretty they are and how nice and clean!... Was it mummy who washed you?... And there are no holes in your stockings!... I used to darn them once, you know.... Why don't you come to see us oftener?... It makes us so happy!... It is months and months now that you've forgotten us and that we have seen nobody....
TYLTYL We couldn't, granny; and to-day its only because of the Fairy....
GRANNY TYL We are always here, waiting for a visit from those who are alive.... They come so seldom!... The last time you were here, let me see, when was it?... It was on All-hallows, when the church-bells were ringing....
TYLTYL All-hallows?... We didn't go out that day, for we both had very bad colds....
GRANNY TYL No; but you thought of us....
TYLTYL Yes....
GRANNY TYL Well, every time you think of us, we wake up and see you again....
TYLTYL What, is it enough to...
GRANNY TYL But come, you know that....
