FIRST DOCTOR. Certainly not. JEPPE. Isn't that wicked Nille my wife? FIRST DOCTOR. By no means, for my lord is a widower. JEPPE. Is it pure illusion that she has a switch called Master Eric? FIRST DOCTOR. Pure illusion. JEPPE. Isn't it true either that I was to go to town yesterday and buy soap? FIRST DOCTOR. No. JEPPE. Nor that I drank up the money at Jacob Shoemaker's? VALET. Why, your lordship was with us out hunting all day yesterday. JEPPE. Nor that I am a cuckold? VALET. Why, her ladyship has been dead for years. JEPPE. I'm beginning to realize my own stupidity. I won't think about the peasant any more; I see that it was a dream that led me into my delusion. It certainly is wonderful how men get such ideas. VALET. Does my lord wish to walk in the garden for a time while we make ready his breakfast? |
