Struebel.
Never saw a poet--never saw a princess! Why, you're learning a heap of
things to-day!
The Princess (_assenting_).
H'm--And have you written poems to her?
Struebel.
Why, that goes without saying! Quantities of 'em!
The Princess.
Oh, please recite some little thing--won't you?
Struebel.
No, not yet. Everything at the proper time.
The Princess.
Ah, yes, first I should like to see the princess.
Struebel.
No, first I am going to tell you the whole story.
The Princess.
