I looked in to see your wife. I thought she might need a word of consolation.
Bernick.
I daresay she does. But I, too, should be glad of a word with you.
Rörlund.
With pleasure, Consul. But what is the matter with you? You look quite pale and upset.
Bernick.
Indeed? Do I? Well, can you wonder at it, with such a host of things crowding upon me all at once. Besides all my usual business, I have this affair of the railway——Give me your attention for a moment, Doctor; let me ask you a question.
Rörlund.
By all means, Consul.
Bernick.
