I have an errand for you this morning.

It will take you to the palace." "To the palace ?" echoed Gretchen.
"Yes.

Does that frighten you ?" "No, Fraeu; it only surprises me.

What shall I do ?" "You will seek her highness and give her this note." "The princess ?" Gretchen sadly viewed her wooden shoes and roughened hands.
"Never mind your hands and feet; your face will open any gate or door for you." "I have never been to the palace.

Will they not laugh and turn me out ?" "If they try that, demand to see his excellency, Count von Herbeck, and say that you came from forty Krumerweg." Gretchen shuddered with a mixture of apprehension and delight.
