The Princess.
Oh, no! That wouldn't be nice. Not that way----
Frau v. Brook (amazed).
What?--What!--Why, your Highness----!
The Princess.
Let me be, Eugenie. This young man and I have become far too good friends to part in such an unfriendly, yes, almost hostile, fashion.
Frau v. Brook.
Your Highness, I am very much----
The Princess (to Strübel).
You and I will certainly remember this hour with great pleasure, and I thank you for it with all my heart. If I only had a rose with me so as to give you your dear wish!--Eugenie, haven't we any roses with us?
