Ellida.
When you took—that unsuccessful step, as you said just now,—I could not answer you otherwise than I did.
Arnholm.
I know that. You had nothing but friendship to offer me. I quite understand that.
Ellida.
But you do not know that my whole mind and all my thoughts were centred elsewhere at that time?
Arnholm.
At that time?
Ellida.
Yes, just then.
