SCENE 5
(Enter Jeronimus, Magdelone, and Lisbed.)
JERONIMUS. Good morning, kinsman! Have you any news from your son?
JEPPE. Yes; he is coming to-day or to-morrow.
LISBED. Oh, is it possible? Then my dream has come true.
JERONIMUS. What did you dream?
LISBED. I dreamed that I slept with him last night.
MAGEDELONE. There is something in dreams, I tell you. Dreams are not to be despised.
JERONIMUS. That's true enough, but if you girls didn't think so much about the menfolk in the daytime, you wouldn't have so many dreams about them at night. I suppose you used to dream just as much about me in the days when we were engaged, Magdelone?
MAGEDELONE. I did, indeed, but upon my word I haven't dreamed about you for some years now.
