Part 2 (1/2)

TYLTYL Dolls?... That's too silly; there's no fun in dolls....

MYTYL And what's that all round the table?....

TYLTYL Cakes and fruit and tarts....

MYTYL I had some once when I was little....

TYLTYL So did I; it's nicer than bread, but they don't give you enough....

MYTYL They've got plenty over there.... The whole table's full.... Are they going to eat them?...

TYLTYL Of course; what else would they do with them?...

MYTYL Why don't they eat them at once?...

TYLTYL Because they're not hungry....

MYTYL (_stupefied with astonishment_) Not hungry?... Why not?...

TYLTYL Well, they eat whenever they want to....

MYTYL (_incredulously_) Every day?...

TYLTYL They say so....

MYTYL Will they eat them all?... Will they give any away?...

TYLTYL To whom?...

MYTYL To us....

TYLTYL They don't know us....

MYTYL Suppose we asked them....

TYLTYL We mustn't.

MYTYL Why not?...

TYLTYL Because it's not right.

MYTYL (_clapping her hands_) Oh, how pretty they are!...

TYLTYL (_rapturously_) And how they're laughing and laughing!...

MYTYL And the little ones dancing!...

TYLTYL Yes, yes; let's dance too!... (_They stamp their feet for joy on the stool_.)

MYTYL Oh, what fun!...
