Well, my friend, it's go<strong>in</strong>g well.<br />

(who walks restlessly up and down).<br />

LOUISE.<br />

BRANDT<br />

LOUISE.<br />

But you must not confuse the names. Or else you will give it all away. Remember now,<br />

that you will call me Hanne and my sister Louise, and that you will be tender and lov<strong>in</strong>g<br />

towards Hanne, but take me as I am, like a good brother-<strong>in</strong>-law usually does with his<br />

sister-<strong>in</strong>-law.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

I shall remember. But . . . excuse me for say<strong>in</strong>g this . . . but, dear Louise, it seems to me<br />

you are forgett<strong>in</strong>g our agreement.<br />

LOUISE.<br />

I? No, you are surely wrong about that. On the contrary, I was led to believe that you<br />

would admire my talent for such a little comedy, as you said earlier.<br />

BRANDT.<br />

Yes, there you are right. You have displayed a talent which I had not at all dreamed of.<br />

LOUISE.<br />

No, that was not our agreement; I should have opposed that.<br />
