I am say<strong>in</strong>g your wife has a sister, after all, who is perhaps as charm<strong>in</strong>g as she. I can try<br />

my luck with her.<br />

BRANDT (aside).<br />

Our Lord has decided to make him my torment<strong>in</strong>g angel!<br />

What is the sister like?<br />

ADOLF.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

The sister? Well . . . she is a very beautiful girl.<br />

Surely she is not as pretty as Louise?<br />

As pretty? No, she isn't.<br />

ADOLF.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

ADOLF.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

Yes . . . naturally, as sisters usually do. That is, there is some external similarity, but not<br />

ADOLF.<br />

No? Well, that can't be helped! (Laugh<strong>in</strong>g.) I see well enough, that either I must not fall<br />

<strong>in</strong> love here <strong>in</strong> the house at all, or it must be with your wife.<br />
