Doctor.—I shall not obey.
Prince.—You make me angry.
Doctor.—Your Highness closes to me the future.
Prince (angrily).—I have brought you up.
Doctor.—I preserve Your Highness's life.
Prince.—I have been a second father to you.
Doctor.—Your Highness, let us speak calmly. If you have been to me a father, I have until now been to you a son. But the father must not bar to his son the road to distinction.
Prince.—Public distinction is not for such people as you, sir.
Doctor (laughing).—A moment ago Your Highness called me a son.
Prince.—What son?
