am going to sail tomorrow in the "Indian Girl"--

Bernick: In the "Indian Girl"?

Johan: Yes. The captain has promised to take me. I shall go over
to America, as I say; I shall sell my farm, and set my affairs in
order. In two months I shall be back.

Bernick: And then you will speak?

Johan: Then the guilty man must take his guilt on himself.

Bernick: Have you forgotten that, if I do that, I must also take
on myself guilt that is not mine?

Johan: Who is it that for the last fifteen years has benefited by
that shameful rumour?

Bernick: You will drive me to desperation! Well, if you speak, I
shall deny everything! I shall say it is a plot against me--that
you have come here to blackmail me!

Lona: For shame, Karsten!

Bernick: I am a desperate man, I tell you, and I shall fight for
my life. I shall deny everything--everything!

Johan: I have your two letters. I found them in my box among my
other papers. This morning I read them again; they are plain
enough.
