would have learnt that my poor unhappy wife was not fully accountable for her actions.
Mortensgård.
I did make inquiries, Pastor Rosmer. But I must say that was not the impression I received.
Rosmer.
Was it not?—But what is your precise reason for telling me now about this incomprehensible old letter?
Mortensgård.
To impress on you the necessity for extreme prudence, Pastor Rosmer.
Rosmer.
In my life, do you mean?
Mortensgård.
Yes. You must remember that from to-day you have ceased to be a neutral.
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 lizing 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.
