Yes, do not hold it aga<strong>in</strong>st me, dear friend. But I do not deny that I got a little worried<br />

when I found out that we would have an officer to quarter, and my concern did not<br />

dim<strong>in</strong>ish when I discovered that it was you. In future it will be a firm rule with<br />

me: rather a whole company of enlisted men than one s<strong>in</strong>gle lieutenant.<br />

LOUISE.<br />

My friend, allow me to make an observation. The billett<strong>in</strong>g which the k<strong>in</strong>g and the<br />

authorities impose on us, I bend over backwards to tolerate like a good subject; it is<br />

dangerous neither for you nor for your wife. But there is another billett<strong>in</strong>g, which is a<br />

great plague for you and a great <strong>in</strong>convenience for your wife. That is jealousy. Let us<br />

guard ourselves aga<strong>in</strong>st that!<br />

Yes, there you are right.<br />
