and duties, Rudolf.

Help me to do what I was born to do.

Help me to do what I must.

But my dear, how can I? I love you.

But is love the only thing?

If love were all, I could follow you in rags

to the end of the world.

But if love were all, you would have

left the king to die in his cell.

Honor binds a woman too, Rudolf.

My honor lies in keeping faith

with my country and my house.

I don't know why God

has let me love you.

But I know that I must stay.

I was mad to ask you.

For one lovely moment I, too, was mad.

Never to see you again?

Never to hold you?

Never...

My darling.

Your heart will always be in my heart...

...and the touch of your lips

on mine.

We'll meet again, Fritz.

Fate doesn't always make

the right men kings.

Goodbye, colonel.

We've run a good course together.

Goodbye, Englishman.

You're the finest Elphberg of them all.

Anthony Hope

Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 – 8 July 1933), was an English novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered predominantly for only two books: The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance, works set in fictional European locales similar to the novels. Zenda has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name. more…
