content, and I can myself put all my pieces
nicely together. I take the best parts out of all
sorts of comedies that I choose, and no one
troubles himself about it. Pieces that are now
despised at the large theatres, but which thirty
years ago the public ran to see, and cried over
– those pieces I now make use of. I now
present them before the young folks; and the

mothers used to do. I give ’Johanna Montfakon’
and ’Dyveke,’ but abbreviated; for the
little folks do not like long, twaddling
lovestories. They must have it unfortunate – but
it must be brief. Now that I have travelled
through Denmark, both to the right and left, I
know everybody and am known again. Now I
have come to Sweden, and if I am successful
and gain much money, I will be a Scandinavian,
if the humour hold; and this I tell you,
as you are my countryman."
