PEER
What stuff is this?

VON EBERKOPF
We now see gathered in glory all the Gyntish host of wishes, appetites, and desires-!

MONSIEUR BALLON [admiringly].
So this is being Monsieur Gynt!

VON EBERKOPF [in the same tone].
This I call being Gynt with honour!

PEER
But tell me-?

MONSIEUR BALLON
Don't you understand?

PEER
May I be hanged if I begin to!

MONSIEUR BALLON
What? Are you not upon your way to join the Greeks, with ship and money-?

PEER [contemptuously].
No, many thanks! I side with strength, and lend my money to the Turks.

MONSIEUR BALLON
Impossible!
