Tjaelde and Mrs. Tjaelde. You mean to leave us?
Sannaes. Yes.
Tjaelde. But why?
Mrs. Tjaelde. Where do you mean to go?
Sannaes. To my relations in America. I can now, without doing you any harm, withdraw my capital from the business by degrees and transfer it abroad.
Tjaelde. And dissolve our partnership?
Sannaes. You know that at any rate you had decided now to resume the old style of the firm's name.
Tjaelde. That is true; but, Sannaes, what does it all mean? What is your reason?
Mrs. Tjaelde. Are you not happy here, where we are all so attached to you?
Tjaelde. You have quite as good a prospect for the future here as in America.
