Ah, her appearance gives no clue to her mind [with an attempted lightness], save occasionally there is too much scent on her cambric.
Prince
Why do you dislike Josephine?
Queen
I do not dislike her, but she behaves unbecomingly. She is very arrogant. Arrogance does not become a bastard.
Prince [in a teasing vein]
You do dislike her. You hate her, even though she is your half-sister, but I find her enchanting. I adore her cold, slender finger tips and the perfection of her contemptuous profile. She moves exactly like a swan.
Queen [trying to control her emotion]
At last you are giving yourself entirely away. I am hearing what I know. Ugh! how doubly unpleasant!
Prince
