Marie Tshoglokof : Your Highness is so happy this morning. You can't be going to see your husband.
Princess Sophia Frederica : Dear me, my husband. I'd forgotten I have a husband. No, I'm not going to see my husband.
Marie Tshoglokof : If Your Imperial Highness were not so new to our court, I'd suspect you were going to see your lover.
Princess Sophia Frederica : Lover? And what may a lover be?
Marie Tshoglokof : A lover is a man, not a husband, who loves you with all his heart and whom you love in return.
Princess Sophia Frederica : But, Marie, that's wicked! Don't tell me that you have a lover.
Marie Tshoglokof : I wish I had. Here, everyone has a lover. Everyone but me.
Princess Sophia Frederica : Oh, Marie, not everyone. Her Exalted Majesty can't possibly have a lover.
Marie Tshoglokof : Oh, hasn't she. What about the young man who's always with Her Majesty? Why do you suppose she leans on him so heavily? Because she's weak in the knees?
