So - here I am in the dark alone, There's nobody here to see I think to myself, I play to myself, And nobody knows what I say to myself Here I am in the dark alone, What is it going to be? I can think whatever I like to think, I can play whatever I like to play, I can laugh whatever I like to laugh, There's nobody here but me.

I suppose that by this time they had finished their dressing. Roger Scurvilegs tells us nothing on such important matters no doubt from modesty. Next morning they rose, he says, and disappoints us of a picture of Udo brushing his hair.
