FRAU LUND. No. We, women also treasure modesty. We dislike to see men pretend to have better morals than they actually have.
BEERMANN. Seriously, Frau Lund. Public immorality must hurt you more.
FRAU LUND. You are mistaken. It requires a genuine manly feeling to sympathize with misery.
DR. WASNER. Misery and vice are different problems.
FRAU LUND. They're not. And that is why we will never agree.
FRAU BEERMANN. All the more reason why my husband should not set himself up as an example. He knows nothing of worry or care.
BEERMANN. We can never subscribe to Frau Lund's principles.
FRAU LUND. No principles, please!
BOLLAND. Out of sheer opposition you will say that you hold different ones from us.
FRAU LUND. No. I will say that I hold none at all.
