Rebecca.
Yes, Rector Kroll, Rosmer and I say "dear" to each other. That is one result of our "position."
Kroll.
Was that what you wanted me to hear?
Rebecca. That—and a little more.
Rosmer.
[Comes forward.] What is the object of this visit?
Kroll.
I wanted to try once more to stop you and win you back to us.
Rosmer.
[Points to the newspaper.] After what appears in that paper?
Kroll. I did not write it.
Rosmer.
Did you make the slightest effort to prevent its appearance?
Kroll.
That would have been to betray the cause I serve. And, besides, it was not in my power.
Rebecca.
[Tears the paper into shreds, crushes up the pieces and throws them behind the stove.] There! Now it is out of sight. And let it be out of mind too. For there will be nothing more of that sort, Rosmer.
