Have you lost your senses, boy?
PHILIP
But really, papa, do you think you can hide anything from me? That common blood in me, you know....
PRINCE
What put such an idea into your head?
PHILIP
Now look here, papa! You have been telling me how anxious you were to introduce me to your old friend, the Count. And then the Count has a daughter—which I have known all the time, by the way.... The one thing I feared a little was that she might be too young.
PRINCE (offended, and yet unable to keep serious)
Too young, you say....
PHILIP
