But where are Tylette and Tylo gone to?... What are they doing?...

MYTYL (_alarmed_)
It's Tylette crying!... He is being hurt!...

clothes torn, holding his handkerchief to his cheek, as though he had the
toothache. He utters angry groans and is closely pursued by the_ DOG,
_who overwhelms him with bites, blows and kicks_.)

THE DOG (_beating the_ CAT)

There!...

Tylo!... Are you mad?... Well, I never!... Down!... Stop that, will you?...
How dare you?... Wait, wait!...
