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! THE NEIGHBOUR Joy! Aren't you ashamed? JOY But, mummy.... DADDY TYL Come, come, there's no great harm in it. We did as much, Mummy Tyl and I, when we were young, didn't we, old lady? MUMMY TYL We did indeed!... They make such a pretty pair!... THE NEIGHBOUR That they do; but Joy is still very young and I'd like to think it over. DADDY TYL That's right enough.... He's very young too; but you won't find a better boy in the whole country-side.... He's a strong, healthy lad, with a civil tongue in his head, and he works like a nigger.... Think it over by all means, only, as this is a holiday, there's no harm in their kissing each other; and let's see them do it: it's good for one!... (_Seeing that_ TYLTYL _and_ JOY _do not move, he pushes them close together_.) Well?... Look at them: they don't want to now! TYLTYL (_In a whisper, to_ JOY, _as he kisses her_.) It was better when we were by ourselves, wasn't it? JOY (_Also whispering_.) Yes, it was! TYLTYL They were right, weren't they? JOY Who? TYLTYL The others. JOY Yes. TYLTYL Don't say a word to any one: it is our secret, yours and mine.... CURTAIN
