Christine. I can't tell, but I believe it. I have been listening to you.
Olof. And you do not curse me?
Christine. You are preaching the word of God, are you not?
Olof. I am!
Christine. Why have we not been told these things before? Or why have they been told us in a language that we do not understand?
Olof. Who has put those words into your mouth, girl?
Christine. Who? I haven't thought of asking.
Olof. Your father?
Christine. He wants me to enter a convent.
Olof. Has it come to that? And what is your own wish?
