Fieldbo.

Have you? What did you write?

Stensgård.

That I am still of the same mind about his daughter; that I want to talk the matter over with him; and that I propose to call on him to-morrow.

Fieldbo.

If I were you, I should at least defer my visit. It is the Chamberlain’s birthday to-morrow; a crowd of people will be there——

Stensgård.

That’s all right; the more the better. I hold big cards in my hand, let me tell you.

Fieldbo.

And perhaps you have bluffed a little with your big cards?
