(With intense surprise.)
Gott. This is my very dear and tried friend, Faustus,
The truest fellow that the wide world holds.
Faustus, this is my gentle cousin Gretchen.
Gret. (agitated). Surely I dream again! Oh, marvellous!
The very face and form!
Gott.Come, Gretchen, speak.
Gret. (much agitated). I give you honest welcome, noble sir;
As you are Gottfried’s friend, so are you ours.
Faus. I thank you, lady.
