[0515] (shocked) [0516] Oh!

[0517] Yes, yes, it's the most comic thing in
the world. [0518] And we laugh, we laugh,
with a will, in the beginning. [0519] But it's
always the same thing. [0520] Yes, it's like the
funny story we hear ^{are told} too often, we
continue to find it funny, but we
don't laugh any more. [0521] (Pause) [0522] Have
you anything more to say to me?

[0523] No.

[0524] Are you sure? [0525] (Pause.) [0526] Then I'll leave you.

[0527] Do you not want your biscuit? [0528] (Pause)
[0529] I'll keep it for you. [0530] (Pause) [0531] I thought you
were going to leave me.

[0532] I am going to leave you.

[0533] Can you xxx give me a scratch before you do?

[0534] No. [0535] (Pause) [0536] Where.

[0537] Me back.

[0538] No. [0539] (Pause) [0540] Rub yourself against the rim.

[0541] It's lower down. [0542] In the hollow.

[0543] What hollow?

[0544] The hollow! [0545] (Pause) [0546] Can you not?
[0547] (Pause.) [0548] Yesterday you scratched me there.

[0549] (elegiac). [0550] Ah yesterday!

[0551] Can you not? [0552] (Pause) [0553] Would you not like
me to give you a scratch? [0554] (Pause.)
[0555] Are you crying again?
