FIRST DOCTOR. Pure illusion.
JEPPE. Isn't it true either that I was to go to town yesterday and buy soap?
FIRST DOCTOR. No.
JEPPE. Nor that I drank up the money at Jacob Shoemaker's?
VALET. Why, your lordship was with us out hunting all day yesterday.
JEPPE. Nor that I am a cuckold?
VALET. Why, her ladyship has been dead for years.
JEPPE. I'm beginning to realize my own stupidity. I won't think about the peasant any more; I see that it was a dream that led me into my delusion. It certainly is wonderful how men get such ideas.
VALET. Does my lord wish to walk in the garden for a time while we make ready his breakfast?
JEPPE. Very well; but hurry up, for I am both hungry and thirsty.
