Rosmer.
There are many things that I would give a great deal to talk over with you, quite frankly—straight from the heart.
Rebecca.
Ah yes, Mr. Rosmer—that must be such a comfort—between old friends——
Kroll.
Oh I can tell you I have still more to talk to you about. I suppose you know I have turned a militant politician?
Rosmer.
Yes, so you have. How did that come about?
Kroll.
I was forced into it in spite of myself. It is impossible to stand idly looking on any longer. Now that the Radicals have unhappily come into power, it is high time something should be done,—so I have got our little group of friends in the town to close up their ranks. I tell you it is high time!
