THE KING. I have shown you your apartment. If there is anything wanting to your comfort, name it and it shall be provided.
THE PRINCESS. Nothing is wanting, not even a lock on the door. I shall be happy in my dreams at least.
THE KING. Your delicacy of mind does you credit. I am glad to find that you are not lacking in that supreme attribute of young womanhood— modesty.
THE PRINCESS. You mistake me. There shall be no lock on the door of my dreams. And I shall meet again in dreams the lover whom I know so well.
THE KING. (scandalized) Princess!
THE PRINCESS. Do you put a ban on my dreams, too?
THE KING. I forbid you to discuss such subjects.
THE PRINCESS. Very well. I shall keep my thoughts to myself.
THE KING. Princess, I understand that it is your avocation to be a horse-breaker.
THE PRINCESS. It is one of them.
