Four. - Six. 14 Are we there yet? 15 Yes, we have arrived at Schüttern for the official handover. 16 Then you will be presented to the king and to your fiancé, Louis Auguste. 17 Your Royal Highness, may I present your mistress of the household... 18 ...Comtesse de Noailles. 19 Your Royal Highness. 20 Madame. 21 This structure for the handover ceremony... 22 ...has been built precisely astride the borders of the two great lands. 23 You have entered on Austrian soil... 24 ...you will exit on French as the dauphine of France. 25 Now you must bid farewell to your party... 26 ...and leave all of Austria behind. 27 Goodbye. 28 Mops. 29 You can have as many French dogs as you like. 30 It is a custom... 31 ...that the bride retain nothing belonging to a foreign court. 32 An etiquette always observed on such an occasion. 33 You're lucky.
