(_During the whole of the preceding conversation a crowd of_ LUXURIES _of the second order have been busying themselves with the_ DOG, SUGAR _and_ BREAD _and have dragged them to the orgie_. TYLTYL _suddenly sees them seated fraternally at the table with their hosts, eating, drinking and flinging themselves about wildly_.) TYLTYL Why, look, Light!... They are sitting at the table!... LIGHT Call them back, or this will have a bad end!... TYLTYL Tylô!... Here, Tylô!... Come here at once, will you? Do you hear?... And you too, Sugar and Bread, who told you to leave me?... What are you doing there, without permission? BREAD (_speaking with his mouth full_) Can't you keep a civil tongue in your mouth?... TYLTYL What? Is Bread daring to be impertinent?... Why, what's come over you?... And you, Tylô?... Is that the way you obey? Now then, come here, on your knees, on your knees!... And look sharp!... THE DOG (_muttering, from the end of the table_) When I'm eating, I'm at home to nobody and I hear nothing.... SUGAR (_honey-mouthed_) Pardon us, we could not possibly leave such charming hosts so abruptly: they would be offended.... THE LUXURY You see!... They are setting you an example.... Come, we are waiting for you.... We won't hear of a refusal.... We shall have to resort to a gentle violence.... Come, you Luxuries, help me!... Let us push them to the table by force, so that they may be happy in spite of themselves!... (_All the_ LUXURIES, _uttering cries of joy and skipping about as nimbly as they are able, drag the_ CHILDREN, _who struggle, while_ FAT LAUGHTER _seizes_ LIGHT _vigorously round the waist_.) LIGHT Turn the diamond, it is time!...
