"I am glad to find some one else here who knew my father. The court tailor--I meant the court doctor--knew him, too. Yes, search the land through, you couldn't have found a better man than my father, and no one can help but admit it."

"No, he is still living."
"Is he here, too?"
"No."
"And as what are you here, Countess?"
