about Tellheim. Franziska, my heart tells me my journey will be a
successful one and that I shall find him.

FRAN.
The heart, my lady! One must not trust to that too much. The heart
echoes to us the words of our tongues. If the tongue was as much
inclined to speak the thoughts of the heart, the fashion of keeping
mouths under lock and key would have come in long ago.

MIN.
Ha! ha! mouths under lock and key. That fashion would just suit me.

FRAN.
Rather not show the most beautiful set of teeth, than let the heart be
seen through them every moment.

MIN.
What, are you so reserved?

FRAN.
No, my lady; but I would willingly be more so. People seldom talk of
the virtue they possess, and all the more often of that which they do
not possess.

MIN.
Franziska, you made a very just remark there.

FRAN.
Made! Does one make it, if it occurs to one?
