Take care, and never let it happen again.

You will never venture to play the little Pompadour here, nor anything else but what your dishonor allows you; otherwise you will have to deal with me! You say that you have read Homer; then, doubtless, you remember the story of Penelope, who, from conjugal fidelity, spun and wove, undoing at night what she had woven by day.

It is true, you bear little resemblance to this chaste dame, but you might emulate her in spinning and weaving; and if you are not in future retiring, I can easily make a modern Penelope of you, and have you instructed in spinning, for which you will have the best of opportunities in the house of correction at Spandau.

Remember this, and never permit yourself to practise protection.

I will keep the spinning-wheel and the wool ready for you; that you may count upon.
Remember, also, that it is very disagreeable to me that you visit my park, as I like to breathe pure air.
