Is this the place?... Ah, there you are, my little master!... How well you
look and how pretty, this evening!.... I went before you to announce your
arrival.... All Is going well. We shall have the Blue Bird to-night, I am
sure.... I have just sent the Rabbit to beat the troop in order to convoke
the principal animals of the country.... You can hear them already among
the foliage.... Listen!... They are a little shy and dare not come near....
(_The sounds are heard of different animals, such as cows, pigs, horses,
donkeys, etc. The_ CAT, _aside, to_ TYLTYL, _taking him apart_) But why
have you brought the Dog?... I have told you he is on the worst terms with
everybody, even the trees.... I fear that his odious presence will spoil
everything....
