Blumel:
[Nicole goes to knock on Colonel von Hohensee's door but it's opened suddenly by the Colonel's orderly, Blumel]
Fraulein de Malvines
[he announces to the Colonel. Nicole enters the room]

Oberst:
[He clicks his heels and bows to Nicole]
Good evening, mademoiselle. I'm very pleased to see you.
[to Blumel]

Oberst:
Bring den wein.
Blumel:
Ja wohl, Herr Oberst.
Oberst:
Well, have you been working hard?
Nicole de Malvines:
Hmmm.
Oberst:
Well, let's see what you have done since yesterday.
[Goes to the piano]

Oberst:
You're not feeling tired now?
[Nicole shakes her head]

Oberst:
When one does something one likes, one is not tired, eh?
[Sees Nicole eyeing the food set out on the table]

Oberst:
Supper first, music afterwards.
Nicole de Malvines:
I'm not hungry.
Oberst:
You're very thin. Food is short, I know.
[Grabs her wrist]

Oberst:
Come!
[Leads her to the table]

Oberst:
See, cake, strawberries.
Nicole de Malvines:
And whipped cream
[Smiling]

Oberst:
Perhaps you think I deal on the black market?
Nicole de Malvines:
No.
Oberst:
The cake and the butter come from my home on the Amber Coast.
[Sniffs wine]

Oberst:
That is, on the Baltic Sea.
[Pours wine]

Oberst:
I, too, have a castle there. Sometimes, I long to see it again.
Nicole de Malvines:
That is because...
Oberst:
Yes?
Nicole de Malvines:
Well, this is not your home. It's Phillipe's. He should be here, not you.
Oberst:
Phillipe?
Nicole de Malvines:
[Looks at the portrait over the fireplace]
My cousin, Phillipe de Malvines.
Oberst:
[He turns and looks at the portrait]
This gentleman? He has a fine face.
[Serves Nicole a slice of cake]

Oberst:
Perhaps you think I enjoy thrusting myself on your hospitality?
[Sits]

Oberst:
It is an unfortunate necessity, You have a beautiful country, mademoiselle. But, then, one's own country is always the most beautiful, don't you think? You don't know the Baltic coast?
[Nicole shakes her head]

Oberst:
The sea is so blue there. I sometimes think that it is bluer than anywhere in the world. When I was a boy, I was certain of it. But, then, when one is young, one is certain of everything.
[Winces as a spasm of pain crosses his face. He gets up and takes a tablet which he washes down with wine]

Oberst:
Forgive me, mademoiselle. I have an old wound that troubles me sometimes.
Nicole de Malvines:
[Looking concerned]
Hmmm.
Oberst:
[Sits down again and eats some cake]
Well, the cake should be good. It is baked for me by my old nurse. She looks after my estate when I'm away as I have no family. You think it's strange that I should have a nurse? We all begin the same and end the same.
[Gets up]

Oberst:
Have some whipped cream. You're fond of whipped cream!
[Nicole smiles as he serves her the cream]
