Rosmer. Determination, you say. Determination to do what?
Rebecca. I want to give you back what you need in order to live your life. You shall have your happy innocence back, dear friend.
Rosmer. But what do you mean?
Rebecca. I will just tell you what happened. That is all that is necessary.
Rosmer. Well?
Rebecca. When I came down here from Finmark with Dr. West, it seemed to me that a new, great, wide world was opened to me. Dr. West had given me an erratic sort of education—had taught me all the odds and ends that I knew about life then. (Has an evident struggle with herself, and speaks in barely audible tones.) And then—
Kroll. And then?
Rosmer. But, Rebecca—I know all this.
Rebecca (collecting herself). Yes—that is true enough. You know it only too well.
Kroll (looking fixedly at her). Perhaps it would be better if I left you.
