Magnus—Ay, Jeppe, I am so anxious to find out something about it.
Jeppe—Jakob Skomager! Help! Will you let people be attacked in your house?
Magnus—I am doing you no harm, Jeppe. I only ask what you saw in the other world.
Jeppe—Hey! Help! Help!
Magnus—Did you see any of my ancestors there?
Jeppe—No, your ancestors must be in the other place, where I hope you and other rascals will go when you die. (Struggles with Magnus and gets away.)
Scene 6.
Baron. His secretary. Valet. Two lackeys.
Baron—Ha, ha, ha! That joke is worth a good deal; I had not thought that it would have had such good effect. If you can amuse me as well again, Erik, you shall stand very high in my regard.
