SCENE II
PRINCESS WILHELMINE comes in, carrying a letter.
WILHELMINE (timidly).
Can any one hear us?
SONNSFELD.
Not unless the walls have ears. Is the letter written?
WILHELMINE.
I hardly dare send it, dear Sonnsfeld. I know there are a hundred mistakes in it.
SONNSFELD.
A hundred? Then the letter must be much longer than Your Highness first planned it.
