Bernick: Not a word more!

Rorlund: If I did not, I should be unworthy to serve a community
of whose morals I have been appointed a guardian, and should be
acting most unjustifiably towards this young girl, in whose
upbringing I have taken a material part, and who is to me--

Johan: Take care what you are doing!

Rorlund: She shall know! Dina, this is the man who was the cause
of all your mother's misery and shame.

Bernick: Mr. Rorlund--?

Dina: He! (TO JOHAN.) Is this true?

Johan: Karsten, you answer.

Bernick: Not a word more! Do not let us say another word about it
today.

Dina: Then it is true.

Rorlund: Yes, it is true. And more than that, this fellow-- whom
you were going to trust-- did not run away from home empty-handed;
ask him about old Mrs. Bernick's cash-box.... Mr. Bernick can bear
witness to that!

Lona: Liar
