TYLTYL And the other, hiding himself?... Why does he veil his face?...Is he ill?... What is his name?...
NIGHT That is Sleep's sister.... It is better not to mention her name....
TYLTYL Why?...
NIGHT Because her name is not pleasant to hear.... But let us talk of something else.... The Cat tells me that you have come here to look for the Blue Bird....
TYLTYL Yes, ma'am, if you will allow me.... Will you tell me where he is?...
NIGHT I don't know, dear.... All I can say is that he is not here.... I have never seen him....
TYLTYL Yes, yes.... Light told me that he was here; and Light knows what she is saying.... Will you hand me your keys?...
NIGHT But you must understand, dear, that I cannot give my keys like that to the first comer.... I have the keeping of all Nature's secrets and I am absolutely forbidden to deliver them to anybody, especially to a child....
TYLTYL You have no right to refuse them to Man when he asks you for them....I know that....
NIGHT Who told you?...
