TYLTYL
I'm sure of it. They don't know what we know. But the little ones knew.
JOY
What little ones?
TYLTYL
The little ones up there.... They were very clever. They knew you at once.... Were you so very unhappy?
JOY
Why?
TYLTYL
Because I couldn't remember.
JOY
It wasn't your fault.
TYLTYL
I know, but I hated it.... And you were so pale, so dreadfully pale; and you never spoke.... How long had you loved me?
JOY
Ever since I first saw you, when you gave me the Blue Bird.
TYLTYL
So have I, so have I, but I had forgotten.... Never mind: we're going to be tremendously happy, for they've settled it, you see; they want it.
JOY
Do you think they've done it on purpose?
TYLTYL
I'm quite sure; there isn't a doubt.... Everybody wanted it, but especially the little ones, all six of them.
JOY
Oh!
TYLTYL
Yes!... We're going to have six!... I say, do you believe it?
JOY
Six what?
TYLTYL
Why, six children, of course!
JOY
Oh, Tyltyl!
TYLTYL
I know it's a great many; but we'll manage somehow. There's nothing to be afraid of.... What a dream, eh?
JOY
Yes.
TYLTYL
The loveliest I ever had; and you?
JOY
Yes.
TYLTYL
I saw you as you are now, just like that. But here, all the same, you are more real and more beautiful.... Oh, I must kiss you again!
(_They kiss each other lingeringly. At that moment_ DADDY TYL _opens the door, with the others behind him_.)
DADDY TYL
(_Catching them in the act_.) Well, I never!... You're getting on, you two!... You're losing no time!
THE NEIGHBOUR
(_Entering with_ MUMMY TYL _and_ MYTYL.) What's the matter?
DADDY TYL
What did I say, when we were looking at the rabbits? These two are made for each other.... They were kissing away like anything!
