Rosmer. Very well. You are none the less always with me now. (Goes out by the entrance hall. After a moment REBECCA peeps out from behind the door which he has left open. Then she goes to the door on the right, which she opens.)
Rebecca (in a whisper). Now, Mrs. Helseth. You can let him come in now. (Crosses to the window. A moment later, KROLL comes in from the right. He bows to her silently and formally and keeps his hat in his hand.)
Kroll. Has he gone, then?
Rebecca. Yes.
Kroll. Does he generally stay out long?
Rebecca. Yes. But to-day he is in a very uncertain mood—so, if you do not want to meet him—
Kroll. Certainly not. It is you I wish to speak to—and quite alone.
Rebecca. Then we had better make the best of our time. Please sit down. (She sits down in an easy-chair by the window. KROLL takes a chair beside her.)
Kroll. Miss West, you can scarcely have any idea how deeply pained and unhappy I am over this revolution that has taken place in John Rosmer's ideas.
Rebecca. We were prepared for that being so—at first.
