Berent. Then may I make my comments on your own figures, and ask you a few questions about them?
Tjaelde. By all means.
Berent. Well, to begin with, let us take your properties immediately round here; they will give us the best idea of local values. For instance, take the Mjölstad forest; you have put that down, I see, at £16,500.
Tjaelde (indifferently). Have I?
Berent. You bought it for £10,000.
Tjaelde. Yes, four years ago. Timber prices ruled low then.
Berent. And since then you have cut down more than £20,000 worth of timber there.
Tjaelde. Who told you so?
Berent. Mr. Holst.
Tjaelde. Holst knows nothing about it.
