Rosmer.

Then you have quite made up your mind that I must have something to conceal?

Mortensgård.

I don’t know why an emancipated man should refrain from living[living] his life out as fully as possible. But, as I said before, be exceedingly cautious in future. If anything should get abroad that conflicts with current prejudices, you may be sure the whole liberal movement will have to suffer for it.—Good-bye, Pastor Rosmer.

Rosmer.

Good-bye.

Mortensgård.

I shall go straight to the office and have the great news put into the “Beacon.”

Rosmer.

Yes; omit nothing.
