Kroll. Only at first?
Rosmer. Mr. Rosmer hoped confidently that sooner or later you would take your place beside him.
Kroll. I?
Rebecca. You and all his other friends.
Kroll. That should convince you how feeble his judgment is on any matter concerning his fellow-creatures and the affairs of real life.
Rebecca. In any case, now that he feels the absolute necessity of cutting himself free on all sides—
Kroll. Yes; but, let me tell you, that is exactly what I do not believe.
Rebecca. What do you believe, then?
Kroll. I believe it is you that are at the bottom of the whole thing.
Rebecca. Your wife put that into your head, Mr. Kroll.
