Soon [reprise] / You Must Meet My Wife [reprise] [Act Two]

Anne?
Oh, forgive me, Countess
I was looking for my wife

Ah, Mister Egerman
How can I face you after that exhibition at dinner?
Throwing myself at your head

On the contrary
I found it most morale building
It's not often these days
That a beautiful woman does me that honor

I didn't
It was just a charade
A failed charade
In my madness
I thought I could make my husband jealous

I'm afraid marriage isn't one of the easier relationships
Is it?

Look at you
A man of an age when a woman is lucky
If a drunken older man pinches her derriere at the village fete
And yet you have managed to acquire the youngest, prettiest-
I hate you being happy
I hate anyone being happy!

The gig should be ready at the stables

Oh, Henrik, darling
I do hope the horses will be smart
I do detest riding a gig when the horses are not-
Smart

Think of how I adore you
Think of how much you love me
If I were perfect for you
Wouldn't you tire of me?
Soon

Let all the birds nest in my hair!

Silly Henrik
Quick, or we'll miss the train!

It was, wasn't it?

It was, yes

Run after them
Quick, you can catch them at the stables

After the horse has gone?
How strange
That one's life should end sitting on a bench
In a garden

She lightens my sadness
She livens my day
She bursts with a kind of madness
My well-ordered ways
My happiest mistake
The ache of my life

Carl Magnus, go away

I'd have been here half an hour ago
But I've been looking for my wife

Carl Magnus, don't take off your jacket

Poor girl
She was somewhat worse for the wine, of course
Trying to make me believe
She was attracted to that asinine lawyer fellow

Carl Magnus, listen to me
It's over
It was never anything in the first place
Now it's over

Of all people that lawyer!
Short and short sighted
Without a hair on his body probably

Don't take out your trousers

Good God

What is it?

It's her and him
Sitting on that bench
She's- she's touching him
The scoundrel
The conniving swine!
Any man who thinks he can lay a finger on my wife!

Carl Magnus, what are you doing?

My dueling pistols!

Carl Magnus!
