Evje. And to put that in the paper for every one to read?
The Editor. No—only for those who read the paper.
Evje. And you have come here to tell us that?
The Editor. Do you suppose I would do it without telling you?
Mrs. Evje. It is perfectly shameless!
The Editor. It certainly is.
Evje. Is it your intention to quarrel with me?
The Editor. Of course!
Evje. With your own schoolfellow?—one who has been it true friend to you in all your ups and downs? It is abominable!
The Editor. Perhaps it was to ensure my holding my tongue that you have been my friend!
