Quote
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Did you bring me a portrait of the grand duke?
Count Alexei:
I'm sorry, I did not. Would you like him to be handsome?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Isn't he?
Count Alexei:
Would you like him to be better-looking than all other men, and tall, and gracious?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes, I think I would.
Count Alexei:
Well, he is all that and more. He's the handsomest man in the Russian court, tall and formed like a Greek god, a model in fashion and deportment which all of us strive to follow. Are you eager to see him?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes.
Count Alexei:
His eyes are like the blue sky, his hair the color of ebony. He is stronger than a team of oxen, and sleepless because of his desire to receive you in his arms. And he can also read and write.
Princess Johanna Elizabeth:
So can my daughter. She can also cook and sew and make her own bed if she has to. Can't you, Sophia?
Princess Sophia Frederica:
But I don't like to make my own bed, Mother.
Princess Johanna Elizabeth:
Don't speak unless you're questioned.
Princess Sophia Frederica:
You did question me, Mother.
