Perhaps somewhere near the savages?
NATHAN.
I beg your pardon, all my subjects are very tame.
KING.
But you must live confoundedly far away. I can't get a clear idea of it yet.
NATHAN.
The geography of my country is still not exactly fixed; I expect to discover more every day; and then it may easily come about that we shall even become neighbors in the end.
KING.
That will be splendid! And if, after all, a few countries still stand in our way, I will help you in your discoveries. My neighbor is not a good friend of mine, so to speak, and he has a fine country; all the raisins come from there; why, I should be only too glad to have it! But another thing; do tell me, how, living so far away, can you speak our language so fluently!
