Baroness, Even if the King is with her?
Gran. All the more then!
Baroness. Oh, that would be horrible! But it won't prevent her going.
Gran. Let us hope so!
Baroness. I am certain of it! She has extraordinary strength of character—just like her father's.
Gran. Yes, that is the one thing I rely on.
Baroness. What do you mean? Your words sound so despondent!
Gran. I mean what is perfectly true—that everything will depend upon her strength of character.
Baroness. What about the King, then?
Gran. I could say a great deal on that topic, Baroness; but (bows) you must excuse me—I haven't time now.
