I had based my hopes of highest happiness upon this particular 'seize. I had been destining it for Count Walther Puck's birthday: I intended to whisper into Victorine's ear during this more than earthly 'tour' 'Most divine countess, I love you unutterably I adore you!
"Nay, thou art prompt enough in all reasonable conscience," replied the Queen; "but thou art my own darling notwithstanding But I meant, is this thy twin-brother as like thee in form and features as formerly?
