MIN.
And do you know why I consider it so good? It applies to my Tellheim.

FRAN.
What would not, in your opinion, apply to him?

MIN.
Friend and foe say he is the bravest man in the world. But who ever
heard him talk of bravery? He has the most upright mind; but
uprightness and nobleness of mind are words never on his tongue.

FRAN.
Of what virtues does he talk then?

MIN.
He talks of none, for he is wanting in none.

FRAN.
That is just what I wished to hear.

MIN.
Wait, Franziska; I am wrong. He often talks of economy. Between
ourselves, I believe he is extravagant.

FRAN.
One thing more, my lady. I have often heard him mention truth and
constancy toward you. What, if he be inconstant?

MIN.
Miserable girl! But do you mean that seriously?
