“You see my confusion, my embarrassment. I am still as in a dream; help me

out of it.”

Julia.

“Look  at  the  nice-looking  village  people,  how  civilly  they  greet  us.  During

your stay here you have actually never been to the upper village: all well-to-do

people, who are all partial to me. There is no one so rich that one cannot oblige

him in some way or other by some important service. This road, along which we

are  driving  so  comfortably,  my  father  laid  out,  and  so  set  this  good  state  of

things on foot.”

Lucidor.

“I willingly believe it, and grant it; but what have these external things to do

with the confusion of my mind?”

Julia.

“Only patience, I want to show you the kingdoms of the world and the glory

thereof,  now  we  are  up  above!  How  clearly  the  level  plain  lies  against  the

mountains! All these villages owe a great deal to my father, and to mother and

daughters  too,  I  dare  say.  The  outskirts  of  that  little  town  yonder  are  the  first

boundaries.”
