What about? Is it that foolishness with Jean? That doesn't
concern me at all. That I won't be mixed up with, but if you're
trying to lure him to run away with you then we must put a stop to
it.
JULIE [Nervously]. Try to be calm now Kristin, and listen to me. I
can't stay here and Jean can't stay here. That being true, we must
leave-- --Kristin.
KRISTIN. Hm, hm!
JULIE [Brightening up]. But I have an idea--what if we three should
go--away--to foreign parts. To Switzerland and set up a hotel
together--I have money you see--and Jean and I would back the whole
thing, you could run the kitchen. Won't that be fine? Say yes, now--
and come with us--there everything would be arranged--say yes!
[Throws her arms around Kristin and coaxes her].
KRISTIN [Cold and reflecting]. Hm--hm!
JULIE [Presto tempo]. You leave never been out and traveled,
Kristin. You shall look about you in the world. Yon can't believe
how pleasant traveling on a train is--new faces continually, new
countries--and we'll go to Hamburg--and passing through we'll see
the zoological gardens--that you will like--then we'll go to the
theatre and hear the opera--and when we reach Munich there will be
the museum--there are Rubins and Raphaels and all the big painters
that you know--you have heard of Munich--where King Ludwig lived--
the King, you know, who went mad. Then we'll see his palace--a
palace like those in the Sagas--and from there it isn't far to
Switzerland--and the Alps, the Alps mind you with snow in
mid-summer.
