TOBY-DOG

A tradesman?

KIKI-THE-DEMURE, (_shrugging his shoulders_)

That's not the kitchen bell. Perhaps it's caller.

TOBY-DOG, (_with a bound_)

What luck! They'll have tea and cakes! Come on!! Sugar, sugar! Little
cakes! Little cakes!!

KIKI-THE-DEMURE, (_gloomily_)

To see ladies who shriek, and put gloved hands on my back--hands covered
with dead skin?... ugh!

(_Feminine voices are heard--Hers among them--and the clear tinkling of
a little bell; then the door opens and a very diminutive toy terrier
enters, alone. She's black and tan, seems in love with herself, and
comes forward with a mincing step_.)

THE LITTLE DOG, (_voice way up in her head_)

I'm the darling little dog, so pretty!

(TOBY _is struck dumb with admiration and astonishment_. KIKI,
_indignant, has jumped on top of the piano and remains an unseen and
hostile spectator_.)
