..really?
TOBY-DOG
Of course I do!
THE LITTLE DOG
So soon!
TOBY-DOG
We've already wasted a great deal of time.
THE LITTLE DOG
But ... we've been chatting. I've enjoyed it very much ... and I fail to
understand why the society of young dogs like you, is forbidden me ...
TOBY-DOG
Allow me to make love to you.
THE LITTLE DOG
What's that?
TOBY-DOG
I'll show you. First I hold myself very erect, stiffen my legs, walk
'round you, barking low and melodiously. My tail wriggles, my ears ...
THE LITTLE DOG
Don't come near me. I feel quite upset. (_Escaping_.) Aie! You
unmannerly fellow!
KIKI-THE-DEMURE, (_standing up_)
These preludes are indeed a sad parody on our wild love-making ...
(_aloud, very angry_) I should think--
THE LITTLE DOG _looks to see where the dreadful voice is coming from,
and espies a strange striped monster with eyes afire, and eyebrows and
whiskers bristling ferociously. She dashes towards the door crying_,
Help, help! There's a tiger on the piano!...
_And falls into the arms of her mistress, who has come upon the scene
and proceeds to console her with great volubility; Fifi! my Zezette! My
darling! there, there, goo, goo, goo, goo, you poor helpless little
doggie! What did they do to her? Ooooo!--Ooo! Was it the naughty
bow-bow? etc.
