The Prisoner of Zenda Page #8

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.
