So it’s really kind, as you promised just now,
To help eke things out.
Peer.
[Thumping the bulwark.]
I’ll be damned if I do.
Do you think I am mad? Would you have me fork out
For the sake of a parcel of other folks’ brats?
I’ve slaved much too sorely in earning my cash
There’s nobody waiting for old Peer Gynt.
The Captain.
