BRANDT (aside).<br />

How unfortunate when one's wife is so clever!<br />

LOUISE.<br />

However, s<strong>in</strong>ce it seems that we could live very happily together <strong>in</strong> this way, this time I<br />

will <strong>in</strong>sist on my op<strong>in</strong>ion as always and . . . give <strong>in</strong>.<br />

I like that! You are my own, agreeable wife.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

LOUISE.<br />

Wait a bit. One th<strong>in</strong>g we must agree upon. If the young gentleman does not seem to me<br />

suitable for Hanne, we must immediately make an end of this whole story.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

Naturally. But now we must separate. Adolf is <strong>in</strong>side gett<strong>in</strong>g dressed, and soon he will<br />

come out. First of all you must talk to Hanne and prepare her.<br />

LOUISE.<br />

Yes, I must <strong>in</strong>struct her and speak sensibly to her.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

Do that. You are just splendid at <strong>in</strong>struct<strong>in</strong>g people and talk<strong>in</strong>g sensibly to them. I shall<br />

go <strong>in</strong> and warn old Johan; you talk to the girls.<br />

To the girls? I am opposed to that.<br />
