I am so glad to see you. And you, Prince. Always faithful to the cause?
Prince.
Yes, Countess; as far as fidelity is consonant with perfect inactivity. Glad to shake hands between two rounds, your Excellency.
Baron Ludwig.
Our encounters are not sanguinary, your Highness.
Prince.
No although one adversary occasionally cuts another. (Laughter.)
Brachtmann.
We ventured to call, Countess, because we fancied that Völkerlingk would keep you posted as to the news from Lengenfeld.
Beata.
