Well, I won’t go so far as that; he was a bit rough, and rather too fond of his glass; but a husband’s always a husband.
Heire.
Very true, Madam Rundholmen; a husband’s a husband, and a widow’s a widow——
Madam Rundholmen.
And business is business. Oh, when I think of all I’ve got to attend to, I don’t know whether I’m on my heels or my head. Every one wants to buy; but when it comes to paying, I’ve got to go in for summonses and executions, and Lord knows what. Upon my word, I’ll soon have to engage a lawyer all to myself.
Heire.
I’ll tell you what, Madam Rundholmen, you should retain Mr. Stensgård; he’s a bachelor.
Madam Rundholmen.
Oh, how you do talk! I won’t listen to a word more.
