THE OAK Is that the Dog?... Drive him out! We must suffer no traitors among us!...
THE CAT (aside, to TYLTYL) Send the Dog away.... It's a misunderstanding.... Leave it to me; I will arrange things.... But send him away as quick as you can....
TYLTYL (to the DOG) Will you be off!...
THE DOG Do let me worry the gouty old beggar's moss slippers!.... It will be such a joke!...
TYLTYL Hold your tongue!... And be off with you!... Be off, you ugly brute!...
THE DOG All right, all right, I'm going.... I'll come back when you want me....
THE CAT (aside, to TYLTYL) It would be a good thing to chain him up, or he will commit some folly; the Trees will be angry and all will end badly....
TYLTYL What can I do?... I have lost his leash....
THE CAT Here's the Ivy just coming along with strong bonds....
THE DOG (growling) I'll come back, I'll come back!... Ugh! Goutytoes! Timbertoes!... Pack of old stunted growths, pack of old roots!... It's the Cat who's at the bottom of all this!... I'll be even with him!... What have you been whispering about, you sneak, you tiger, you Judas!... Wow, wow, wow!....
