Eli. You will never force me to do such a thing
Har. I will force you to it.
Eli. I had rather kill myself than marry such a man.
Har. You will not kill yourself, and you will marry him. But did you ever see such impudence? Did ever any one hear a daughter speak in such a fashion to her father?
Eli. But did ever anyone see a father marry his daughter after such a fashion?
Har. It is a match against which nothing can be said, and I am perfectly sure that everybody will approve of my choice.
Eli. And I know that it will be approved of by no reasonable person.
Har. (seeing Valère). There is Valère coming. Shall we make him judge in this affair?
Eli. Willingly.
Har. You will abide by what he says?
