"More than I can express."
"In case of need, what would you do for him?"
"Everything."
"Hum! that is a heavy pledge."
"It is even less than I would do; my family, my servants, all I possess, are at his disposal."
"Then you are devoted to him?"
"For life and death! Under any circumstances, by day or night; whatever may happen, at a word from him I am ready."
"You swear it?"
"I swear it."
"I hold your promise."
