Rosmer.

What things, Mr. Mortensgård?

Mortensgård.

May I announce in the “Beacon” that there has been a change in your views—that you have joined the party of freedom and progress?

Rosmer.

Certainly you may. In fact, I beg you to make the announcement.

Mortensgård.

Then it shall appear in to-morrow’s paper. It will cause a great sensation when it’s known that Pastor Rosmer of Rosmersholm is prepared to take up arms for the cause of light, in that sense too.

Rosmer.

I don’t quite understand you.
