 your works have become indispensable in my house. I trust that you apply yourself now? Your new style is entrancing. Like the old masters, you combine art with utility. Even the necessities you make charming. Good afternoon.

. [To ] Don't be long.

. I shall be there before you. Good night.

. Good-by, uncle.

. Be careful of your health! Have some regard for your mother.

. Yes, I remain at home this evening.

. So Florencio has promised me.

. The Princess is remarkably well preserved.

. She almost looks young.

. She leads the life of an anchorite—a good thing for the poor.

. Very popular, too, I am told, in Suavia.

. The virtues of the Princess prove more embarrassing at court than the vices of her son. That is the reason they advise them to travel.

. I never meddle in foreign affairs.

. An artist, my lord, must communicate his impressions. It is a matter of habit.

. Damn bad habit! [To ] I shall accompany you, my dear. Where do you pass the evening?

. At the Villa Miranda. There is to be chamber-music. You know what that is…

. The Princess was delighted to meet you again.
