CHRISTINE. You don't owe him anything.
ELIS. Yes, one for all and all for one; the family's name is disgraced as long as we owe a farthing.
CHRISTINE. Change your name!
ELIS. Christine!
CHRISTINE [Puts down work, which is finished]. Thanks, Elis, I was only testing you.
ELIS. But you must not tempt me. Lindkvist is not a rich man, and needs what is due him.—When my father got through with it all it was like a battle-field of dead and wounded—and mother believes father is a martyr! Shall we go out and take a walk?
CHRISTINE. And try to find the sunshine? Gladly!
ELIS. I can't understand how it can be that our Saviour suffered for us and yet we must continue to suffer.
CHRISTINE. Here comes Benjamin.
ELIS. Can you see whether he looks happy or not?
