Dina: Yes, take me with you. The other has written to me that he
means to announce to everyone this evening.

Johan: Dina--you do not love him?

Dina: I have never loved the man! I would rather drown myself in
the fjord than be engaged to him! Oh, how he humiliated me
yesterday with his condescending manner! How clear he made it
that he felt he was lifting up a poor despised creature to his
own level! I do not mean to be despised any longer. I mean to go
away. May I go with you?

Johan: Yes, yes--a thousand times, yes!

Dina: I will not be a burden to you long. Only help me to get
over there; help me to go the right way about things at first.

Johan: Hurrah, it is all right after all, Dina!

Lona (pointing to BERNICK'S door): Hush!--gently, gently!

Johan: Dina, I shall look after you.

Dina: I am not going to let you do that. I mean to look after
myself; over there, I am sure I can do that. Only let me get away
from here. Oh, these women!--you don't know--they have written to
me today, too--exhorting me to realise my good fortune--
impressing on me how magnanimous he has been. Tomorrow, and every
day afterwards, they would be watching me to see if I were making
myself worthy of it all. I am sick and tired of all this
