Mortensgård.

Pastor Rosmer—you ought to remember that I—I in particular—have not full liberty of action.

Rosmer.

What hampers you?

Mortensgård.

The fact that I am a marked man.

Rosmer.

Ah—indeed.

Mortensgård.

A marked man, Pastor Rosmer. You, above all men, should remember that; for I have chiefly you to thank for the scandal that branded me.
