FREDERIQUE
No, your wife can't be here yet. She won't give up her walk on a wonderful day like this.
AMADEUS
What you have in mind now is pretty mean, Frederique.
FREDERIQUE
Why so? Of course, I know she takes a walk with you, too, now and then.
AMADEUS
Yes, when my time permits. And often she goes out with Sigismund. To-day she's probably with him—and that's what you wanted to bring home to me, of course.
FREDERIQUE
Why should I? You know it, don't you? And I assure you, it has never occurred to me to see anything wrong in it. He's a friend of yours.
