Manders.

You? On the contrary, it is I who ought to beg your pardon——

Engstrand.

Lord, no, sir!

Manders.

Yes, assuredly. And I do it with all my heart. Forgive me for misunderstanding you. I only wish I could give you some proof of my hearty regret, and of my good-will towards you——

Engstrand.

Would your Reverence do it?

Manders.

With the greatest pleasure.
