JESPER. Oh, it's terrible! My hair stands on end when I think of it. I can't remember all that I heard, but I know that among other things he said that the earth was round. What can I call such a thing, Monsieur Jeronimus? That is nothing else than overthrowing all religion and leading folk away from the faith. A heathen certainly cannot speak worse.
JERONIMUS. He must have said that only in jest.
JESPER. It is going rather too far to joke about such things as that. See, here he comes himself.
SCENE 6
(Enter Montanus.)
MONTANUS. How do you do, my dear father-in-law. I am delighted to see you in good health.
JERONIMUS. People of my age can't enjoy remarkable health.
MONTANUS. You look mighty well, however.
JERONIMUS. Do you think so?
MONTANUS. How is Miss Lisbed?
