Jeppe—I was taken up to Paradise on the way.
Nille—To Paradise! (Strikes him.) To Paradise! (Strikes him again.) To Paradise! (Strikes him again.) Are you going to make fun of me besides?
Jeppe—Ow! Ow! Ow! As sure as I am an honest man it is not true.
Nille—What is true?
Jeppe—That I have been in Paradise.
(Nille repeats, "In Paradise," and strikes him again.)
Jeppe—Ah, Nille, my dear, don't hit me any more.
Nille—Quick! Confess where you have been or I will murder you!
Jeppe—Ah, I would gladly confess where I have been if you would not strike me any more.
