Gregers.

Are you not in the least afraid that I may let my father know about this old friendship?

Mrs. Sörby.

Why, of course I have told him all about it myself.

Gregers.

Indeed?

Mrs. Sörby.

Your father knows every single thing that can, with any truth, be said about me. I have told him all; it was the first thing I did when I saw what was in his mind.

Gregers.

Then you have been franker than most people, I think.
