From Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

male · dramatic · 47 sec

Ah! good morning, my dear baron! Quite delighted to see you again--pray forgive my not having paid my respects to you at an earlier hour--the most pressing business--the duke's bill of fare--invitation cards--arrangements for the sledge party to-day--ah!--besides it was necessary for me to be at the levee, to inform his highness of the state of the weather. (PRESIDENT: True, marshal! Such weighty concerns were not to be neglected!) Then a rascally tailor, too, kept me waiting for him! (PRESIDENT: And yet ready to the moment?) Nor is that all! One misfortune follows at the heels of the other to-day! Only hear me! PRESIDENT (absent). Can it be possible?
