of it. [0544] Angrily.) [0545] It's a turnip!

[0546] Oh pardon! [0547] I could have sworn it was a carrot. [0548] (He rummages
again in his pockets, finds nothing but turnips.) [0549] All

carrot and gives it to Estragon.) [0555] There, dear fellow.
[0556] (Estragon wipes the carrot on his sleeve and bef ^{[place = overwritten] g}ins to

was it you wanted to know?

[0569] I've forgotten. [0570] (Chews.) [0571] That's what annoys me. [0572] (He looks
at the carrot appreciatively, dangles it between finger and
thumb.) [0573] I'll never forget this carrot. [0574] (He sucks the end
of it meditatively.) [0575] Ah yes, now I remember.

[0577] Well?

[0578] (his mouth full, vacuously). [0579] We're not tied?
