[Fredrik]

She lightens my sadness,

She livens my days,

She bursts with a kind of madness

My well-ordered ways.

My happiest mistake, the ache of my life:

You must meet my wife.

She bubbles with pleasure,

Since her smallest tear turns me ashen.

So completely demented, contented a fashion.

Sometime.

[Fredrik]

She sparkles...

[Desiree]

How pleasant.

You must meet my wife.

[Desiree]

Yes, I must. I really must.

Now--

[Fredrik]

She flutters.

[Desiree]

How charming.

[Fredrik]

She twitters.

[Desiree]

My word!

[Fredrik]

She floats.

[Desiree]

Isn't that alarming?

What is she, a bir
