"Come, come! You don't want me to believe that! I have seen what the
wild animals of Africa are!"

"Be careful, marionette. Take a good rifle with you, for one never
knows what will happen in Africa."

"But I do not know how to load one."

"Well, then, stay at home. It is folly for you to begin such an
undertaking without arms and without knowing how to use them."

"It is you who are foolish. Do not make me angry. When I have
decided upon a thing no one can stop me from carrying it out."

"Take care, marionette; you may be sorry."

"Nevertheless I shall go."

"You may find things very unpleasant."

"It is for that very reason that I am going."

"You may never return."

"The good Fairy will protect me."

"Who is the Fairy?"

"How may things you want to know! If you are in need of nothing
else, I will bid you all good-by!"
