From Pélléas and Mélisande; Alladine and Palomides; Home by Maurice Maeterlinck

Come, we are going to sit down here, Yniold; sit on my knee; we shall see from here what passes in the forest. I do not see you any more at all now. You abandon me too; you are always at little mother's.... Why, we are sitting just under little mother's windows.--Perhaps she is saying her evening prayer at this moment.... But tell me, Yniold, she is often with your uncle Pélléas, isn't she? (YNIOLD: Yes, yes; always, little father; when you are not there, little father....) Ah!--look; some one is going by with a lantern in the garden.--But I have been told they did not like each other.... It seems they often quarrel;... no? Is it true? (YNIOLD: Yes, yes; it is true.) Yes?--Ah! ah!--But what do they quarrel about?
