Ragna.
I have learnt to know you better; it is well that I learned in time.
Stensgård.
Oh, that is it? People have been lying about me? Perhaps I am to blame too; I have been lost in a maze of perplexities. But that is past now. Oh, the very sight of you makes a better man of me. It is you I care for, deeply and truly; it is you I love, Ragna—you and no other!
Ragna.
Let me pass! I am afraid of you——
Stensgård.
Oh, but to-morrow, Ragna—may I come and speak to you to-morrow?
Ragna.
Yes, yes, if you must; only for heaven’s sake not to-day.
