"They have suffered terribly during the war." "It is very terrible," said Her Majesty. "Both priests and nuns have suffered, as England has reason to know."

So I stay with her and I like to do it because she is so nice. Everybody likes Leonore, everybody likes her terribly; Kurt and Bruno, too. They stay home all the time now because Leonore is with us. You ought to know how nice she is.
