De unges forbund (The League of Youth)

KAMMERHERREN.
Å, De forstår mig meget godt. Jeg pukker naturligvis ikke på noget slags fornemhed, eller på titler eller sligt. Men hvad jeg holder i ære, og hvad jeg forlanger at andre skal holde i ære, det er den gennem alle slægter nedarvede retskaffenhed i vor familje. Det er det, jeg mener, at når man, som Lundestad, griber ind i det offentlige liv, så kan man ikke bevare sin karakter og sin vandel så aldeles pletfri. Derfor får Lundestad også finde sig i, at man søler ham til. Men man skal lade mig i ro; jeg står udenfor partierne.

THE CHAMBERLAIN.
Oh, you know quite well what I mean. Of course I don’t plume myself on rank, or titles, or anything of that sort. But what I hold in honour, and expect others to hold in honour, is the integrity handed down in our family from generation to generation. What I mean is that when a man like Lundestad goes into public life, he cannot keep his character and his conduct entirely free from stain. In the general mud-throwing, he is sure to find himself bespattered. But they might leave me in peace; I stand outside their parties.

侍从官:
喔，你一定很明白我的意思。我当然不是拿地位、头衔这一类东西夸耀自己。可是我自己看重并且希望别人也看重的是，我家历代相传的清白家风。我的意思是，像伦德斯达那种人一入政界，要他规规矩矩、清清白白，是做不到的事。到了大家胡乱攻击的时候。他一定会挨骂。可是他们何必把我牵扯在里头。我又没有党派。
