Now I have discovered you, and I have a right to you, do you see?
It is fortunate for you that I like you." "You! You like me?

"Do you think I would hurt you--or rather your voice ?" "I do not know." "You know very well that I would not; and as for my caprices, as you call them, do you think it is a caprice to love music?
No, of course not.
