The Blue Bird Page #5

---

Open every door.

Search the whole palace.

Who goes there?

Who is it?

It's me, Madame Night. Tylette.

What's the matter?

Our secret is at stake!

I fear there's nothing to be done!

Why, what's happened?!

Tyltyl, that boy is coming here to

demand the Bluebird of you.

Well, he hasn't got her yet.

He'll have her soon

unless we perform miracles.

Oh, what times we live in. I don't

understand Man these last few years.

What are they trying to do?

Must they know everything?

Yes, I know, times are hard

and we're almost alone in our

struggle against Man.

I hear them coming.

There's only one thing we can do.

Since they're children'

we must give them such a fright that

they won't dare open all the doors.

What a good idea.

Scare them, Madame Night. Terrify

them! Use all the powers of darkness!

- This way, Little Master.

- What have you been doing here?

I told Madame Night you're coming.

She'll be delighted to see you.

How gracious, how charming.

Good day, Mrs. Night.

Good day?

Oh. I'm not used to that.

You might say good night.

Or at the very least, good evening.

Are those your two children?

Yes. This one's name is Sleep.

Who's that other one? Hiding her face.

- Let me snatch the keys from her!

- Stop it, Tylo!

Keep quiet and behave yourself!

Give me the keys, please.

Have you the sign?

Behold the diamond.

Here is the key.

But if anything should happen'

you have only yourselves to blame.

I will not be answerable.

Follow me.

Madame Night, my great age'

my experience and my devotion'

make me the natural protector of

these two children.

- So permit me to ask you a question.

- Certainly.

In case of danger'

which is the quickest way out?

There is no way out!

No escape. Come.

All of the evils and all the terrors

are locked up within these caves!

The plagues and sickness'

all of the catastrophes'

and all the mysteries that afflicted

life since the beginning of the world.

Many of them are giants.

Ruthless and cruel!

Creatures without eyes unafraid

of Man.

All of my secrets lie before you!

Open the doors if you dare.

I must not be afraid.

How cold it is.

It'll get worse presently, if you

go on.

What's behind this door?

That one?

Let me see... Those are the ghosts.

I'm going to curdle.

The lock's rusted.

It's been a long time

since they've come out.

I'm not frightened, but wouldn't it

be better to peep through the keyhole?

Get ready with the cage, Tylo.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Everything's all right.

Bread!

- Bread, where are you?

- Here, my dear, by the stairs.

- What were you doing there?

- Making sure they don't escape.

They're all frightened!

They're scared of us.
