Part 3 (1/2)
TYLTYL You're rather like our neighbour, Madame Berlingot....
THE FAIRY (_growing suddenly angry_) Not a bit!... There's not the least likeness!... This is intolerable!... I am the Fairy Berylune....
TYLTYL Oh! Very well....
THE FAIRY You will have to start at once.
TYLTYL Are you coming with us?
THE FAIRY I can't, because I put on the soup this morning and it always boils over if I leave it for more than an hour.... (_Pointing successively to the ceiling, the chimney and the window_) Will you go out this way, or that way, or that way?...
TYLTYL (_pointing timidly to the door_) I would rather go out that way....
THE FAIRY (_growing suddenly angry again_) That's quite impossible; and it's a shocking habit!... (_Pointing to the window_) We'll go out this way.... Well?... What are you waiting for?...
Get dressed at once.... (_The_ CHILDREN _do as they are told and dress quickly_.) I'll help Mytyl....
TYLTYL We have no shoes....
THE FAIRY That doesn't matter. I will give you a little magic hat. Where are your father and mother?....
TYLTYL (_pointing to the door on the right_) They're asleep in there....
THE FAIRY And your grandpapa and grandmamma?...
TYLTYL They're dead....
THE FAIRY And your little brothers and sisters.... Have you any?...
TYLTYL Oh, yes; three little brothers....
MYTYL And four little sisters....
THE FAIRY Where are they?...
TYLTYL They are dead, too....
THE FAIRY Would you like to see them again?...
TYLTYL Oh, yes!... At once!... Show them to us!...
THE FAIRY I haven't got them in my pocket.... But this is very lucky; you will see them when you go through the Land of Memory.... It's on the way to the Blue Bird, just on the left, past the third turning.... What were you doing when I knocked?...
TYLTYL We were playing at eating cakes?...
THE FAIRY Have you any cakes?... Where are they?...
TYLTYL In the house of the rich children.... Come and look, it's so lovely. (_He drags the_ FAIRY _to the window_.)
THE FAIRY (_at the window_) But it's the others who are eating them!...
