Ah, but who lays out my linen? Who puts flowers on my desk every day? Who gets up at dawn to eat breakfast with me? Who sees that I have my second cup of coffee? But better than all that--who brings youth into my old house? (CATHERINE: That's not much--youth.) No? We'll leave it to Fritz. (FREDERIK, amused, listens in silence.) What should I be now--a rough old fellow--a bachelor--without youth in my house, eh? God knows! Katie has softened me towards all the ladies--er--mellowed me as time has mellowed my old pictures. (Points to pictures.) And I was growing hard--hard and fussy.
