Yes, you surely knew that, didn’t you? Where do you suppose I found the money to learn photography, and to furnish a studio and make a start? All that costs a pretty penny, I can tell you.
Gregers.

Hialmar.
Yes, my dear fellow, didn’t you know? I understood him to say he had written to you about it.
Gregers.
Not a word about his part in the business. He must have forgotten it. Our correspondence has always been purely a business one. So it was my father that——!
Hialmar.
Yes, certainly. He didn’t wish it to be generally known; but he it was. And of course it was he, too, that put me in a position to marry. Don’t you—don’t you know about that either?
Gregers.
