Helen Ericson: Light

Quotes 

• Mytyl : Lightning struck, and the whole forest went up in flames.

  Light : Lightning and Fire are my stepbrothers. They're very wicked.

  Mytyl : We nearly got burned up.

  Tyltyl : Tylette did get burned up.

  Tylo : She got what she deserved.

  Mytyl : Don't say that, Tylo! Poor Tylette.

  Light : There, there, dear. Don't be unhappy. What about the blue bird?

  Mytyl : We didn't see one, not one. We didn't have time to look.

  Tylo : If you ask me, there is no such bird.

  Mytyl : Oh, there is, Tylo. There must be!

  Light : You haven't looked everywhere. The blue bird may be in the Future.

• Tylette : Why don't you go to the Land of Luxury? There's plenty to eat there. Everything you could think of.

  Mytyl : Do you think we'd find the blue bird there?

  Light : No, dear. I don't.

  Tylette : Why not? They'll have everything they want there. Where would be a better place to look for the blue bird?

  Mytyl : We might find the blue bird there.

  Light : Very well. Go there if you want.

  Mytyl : How do we get to the Land of Luxury?

  Tylette : It's very easy. We take the first side road.

  Mytyl : Will you be waiting for us?

  Light : Yes, dear, just beyond. But don't stay too long. It's never wise to spend too much time in the Land of Luxury.

• Fairy Berylune : What silly children you are not to know this lady! You've seen her hundreds of times. This is Light. Light, may I present Mytyl and Tyltyl.

  Mytyl : How do you do, Light?

  Tyltyl : How do you do?

  Light : There's no need to be formal. We're old friends. Where would you like to go? I shall be your guide.

  Mytyl : We're not sure where to go.

  Fairy Berylune : Why don't you use your head? Hasn't it occurred to you that the blue bird might be hiding in the Past?

  Mytyl : But where is the Past? Do you know the way?

  Light : Why, of course. The Past is right behind us.
