Rebecca.
Take up the fight again, Rosmer! Only try—and you shall see, you will conquer. You will ennoble hundreds—thousands of minds. Only try!
Rosmer.
Oh Rebecca—I, who no longer believe in my own mission!
Rebecca.
But your mission has stood the test already. You have ennobled one human being at least—me you have ennobled for the rest of my days.
Rosmer.
Oh—if I dared believe you.
Rebecca.
[Pressing her hands together.] Oh Rosmer,—do you know of nothing—nothing that could make you believe it?
