Go away! I'm a martyr.... Go away I tell you, or I'll blow fire at you! TOBY-DOG, (_ingenuous_) But why? KIKI-THE-DEMURE Why!--Because you're free, because I'm in this basket, because the basket's in a foul carriage which is shaking me to pieces, and because the serenity of those two exasperates me. TOBY-DOG Would you like me to look out and tell you what one sees from the carriage window? KIKI-THE-DEMURE Everything is equally odious to me. TOBY-DOG, (_having looked out, comes back_) I haven't seen anything.... KIKI-THE-DEMURE, (_bitterly_) Thanks just the same. |
