Johan: But why not?

Dina: Of course, you are a stranger--you cannot understand; but I
must tell you--

Johan: Well?

Dina: No, I would rather not talk about it.

Johan: Oh, but you must; you can talk to me about whatever you
like.

Dina: Well, I must tell you that I am not like the other young
girls here. There is something--something or other about me. That
is why you mustn't.

Johan: But I do not understand anything about it. You have not
done anything wrong?

Dina: No, not I, but--no, I am not going to talk any more about
it now. You will hear about it from the others, sure enough.

Johan: Hm!

Dina: But there is something else I want very much to ask you.

Johan: What is that?

Dina: I suppose it is easy to make a position for oneself over in
America?
