I choose you to be this man's wife.
EMELIE. Me! (The young ladies look at her with indignation and contempt. ) NURSE. Such luck!
GARTHELAUD (laughing). What hair the minx has!
ACRINUS (quickly). Emelie is rebellious and froward. She will mismanage your estates.
MARTHE. She will make his life a hell. I choose Emelie.
EMELIE. Thank you for nothing. I refuse to marry your lout of a husband.
NURSE. Are you mad?
(The young ladies, Garthelaud, the Bishop, each show amazement accompanied by other emot...ions. He- loise and Liane are delighted at the decision).
MARTHE (indignantly). Are you too good to be beaten ?
EMELIE. Not because he beats you.
NURSE. Why shouldn't a man?
EMELIE. I should not mind being beaten. But the man who beats me must be a master not a puppet. A man who goes where he will to marry, not where he is sent. ( The young ladies are aghast but are nevertheless delighted that Emelie is out of the running. ) But I've seen enough today of your gentlemens' marriages. If I marry, I shall marry because I want to and not to transmit properly.
