 Bastian.

He wants to marry

Madam Rundholmen.

Lord! Has he said anything?

Bastian.

Yes; and I've promised to put in a word for him. It'll be all right. I'm sure Ragna likes him.

Madam Rundholmen.

Ragna!

Lundestad.

[Approaching.] What is interesting you so deeply, Madam Rundholmen?

Madam Rundholmen.

Lundestad.

Yes, but he won't find the Chamberlain so easy to deal with.

Bastian.

The Chamberlain?

Lundestad.

He probably thinks her too good a match for a mere lawyer

Madam Rundholmen.

Who? Who?

Lundestad.

Why, his daughter, Miss Bratsberg, of course.
