Hagbart. Yes, grandmother.
Grandmother. I have seen so many generations—so many different ways of behaving. In my day we were tolerant.
Hagbart. I enjoyed reading your books so much, grand mother!
Grandmother. Of course you did.—Are we alone?
Hagbart. Yes, grandmother.
Grandmother. I am quite in love with your fiancée, Hagbart. She is like what girls were in my day.
Hagbart. Courageous, weren't they?
Grandmother. Yes, and independent. They seem quite different nowadays.—Are we alone?
Hagbart. Yes.
Grandmother. You get married—and I will come and live with you and her. Hush!
