Expensive Times.
Mother-in-law:Good God, Children, what should it be?!
I argue, and have only been married for a week!

Son in law:I do not argue, I just want that Sophie must agree with me. Had she not had such a hurry with the wedding, we could in these hard times going to have saved much money by keeping Wedding and Child finery same day.
Dansk: Dyre Tider.
Svigermoderen: Herregud, Børn, hvad skal det blive til?!
I skændes, og har kun været gift i en uge!

Svigersønnen: Jeg skændes ikke, jeg vil bare ha'e, at Sophie skal gi'e mig Ret. Havde hun ikke haft saadan et Hastværk med Bryllupet, saa kunde vi i disse dyre Tider ha'e sparet mange Penge ved at holde Bryllup og Barnestads samme Dag.
