Kroll. Yes. You must see that you get him to do that.
Rebecca. Then you can't rid yourself of the conviction that the relations between us need "legalising," as you say?
Kroll. I do not wish to go any more precisely into the question. But I certainly have observed that the conditions under which it always seems easiest for people to abandon all their so-called prejudices are when—ahem!
Rebecca. When it is a question of the relations between a man and a woman, I suppose you mean?
Kroll. Yes—to speak candidly—that is what I mean.
Rebecca (walks across the room and looks out of the window). I was on the point of saying that I wish you had been right, Mr. Kroll.
Kroll. What do you mean by that? You say it so strangely!
Rebecca. Oh, nothing! Do not let us talk any more about it. Ah, there he is!
Kroll. Already! I will go, then.
Rebecca (turning to him). No—stay here, and you will hear something.
