GILBERT.
Look at her, Joshua! Is she not beautiful and attractive, and is she not worthy of a king? If you only knew! You cannot imagine how I love her!
JOSHUA.
Be careful! It is dangerous. A woman should not be loved so much as that. With a child, it is different.
GILBERT.
What do you mean?
JOSHUA.
Nothing. I will be at your wedding next week. I hope State affairs will leave me a little liberty then, and that everything will be finished.
GILBERT.
How? What will be finished?
