It will, I fear, be very easy for you, Max, to induce me to promise anything you wish. It will be all too easy, for I am not strong, as you are.

I shall soon leave you again, Fräulein, and what I wish is of such moment that I--I almost fear to ask.
human
Yes, Max,

It is this, Fräulein. I am going back to Styria, and I want to carry with me your promise to be my wife,

I will ask my father's consent, said Max.
gpt
I will tell him of you and of my great love, which is so great, Fräulein, that all the world is nothing beside it and beside you, and he will grant my request.
human
But if he doesn't, Max?
gpt
If he does not, Fräulein, I will forego my country and my estates. I will come back to you and will work in the fields, if need be, to make you as happy as you will make me.
human

human
Don't you want to know who I am before you wed me?
gpt
That you may tell me when you are my wife, said Max.
human
I thought you were the Princess Mary, but I am almost glad that you are not. I soon knew that I was wrong, for I knew that you would not deceive me.
