I have a terrible dread though of the forest.

Horrible spectres are said to dwell in it, and I am so fearful.

But how can I help it?
I only came here to implore pardon of the noble lady of Ringstetten for my unbecoming behavior yesterday.

I feel sure, sweet lady, you meant to do me a kindness, but you knew not how you would wound me, and in my agony and surprise, many a rash and frantic expression passed my lips.

Oh forgive, forgive! I am already so unhappy.
