STRÅMAND.
Hun loved huldt,
at rejse med! 
STRAWMAN.
She gave her solemn word to cross the sea
With him! 
FRØKEN SKÆRE.
Og Lind svor højt at blive! 
MISS JAY.
And he gave his to stay ashore
With her! 
FALK
(leende).
De begge føjed sig; hvad fattes da? 
FALK
[laughing].
They both complied; what would you more! 
STRÅMAND.
Nej, de forviklinger er mig for stive!
(går op mod baggrunden.)  
STRAWMAN.
These complications are too much for me.
[Goes toward the background.] 
TANTERNE
(i munden på hverandre).
Men Herregud, hvem kommer striden fra? 
AUNTS
[to one another].
How in the world came they to disagree? 
FRU HALM
(til Guldstad og Styver, som har spadseret udenfor i haven og nu nærmer sig).
Her er uenighed på alle kanter.
(taler sagte med dem.)  
MRS. HALM
[To GULDSTAD and STIVER, who have been walking in the garden and now approach.]
The spirit of discord’s in possession of her.
[Talks aside to them.] 
FRU STRÅMAND
(til frøken Skære, idet hun ser, at havebordet dækkes).
Nu får vi thevand. 
MRS. STRAWMAN
[To MISS JAY, noticing that the table is being laid.]
There comes the tea. 
FRØKEN SKÆRE
(kort).
Gudskelov. 
MISS JAY
[curtly].
Thank heaven. 
FALK.
Hurra
for venskab, thevand, kærlighed og tanter! 
FALK.
Hurrah! a cheer
For love and friendship, maiden aunts and tea! 
STYVER.
Men dersom sagen hænger sådan sammen,
så kan den endes let til alles gammen.
Processen hviler på en paragraf,
som siger: konen skal sin husbond følge.
Dens ord er klare, det kan ingen dølge – 
STIVER.
But if the case stands thus, the whole proceeding
May easily be ended with a laugh;
All turns upon a single paragraph,
Which bids the wife attend the spouse. No pleading
Can wrest an ordinance so clearly stated--
