I'll tell you all about it afterwards. [Takes Lundestad apart.] And this is the fellow you protect, push forward, help to rise!

Lundestad.

The Chamberlain.

Lundestad.

[Pointing to Stensgård, who is speaking to Thora.]

Look there! What will people be fancying!

The Chamberlain.

I shall soon put a stop to these fancies.

Lundestad.

The Chamberlain.

I, too, can manœuvre, Mr. Lundestad.

Lundestad.

What will you do?

The Chamberlain.

Just watch. [Goes over to Fieldbo.] Doctor Fieldbo, will you do me a service?

Fieldbo.

With pleasure.

The Chamberlain.

Then turn that fellow out of my house.

Fieldbo.

Stensgård?
