 Johan.

You?

Dina.

I can work well enough; I am strong and healthy, and Aunt Martha has taught me a great deal.

Johan.

Then, hang it all, why not come with us?

Dina.

Oh, now you are only joking; you said the same to Olaf. But I wanted to know, too, if people over there are very—very moral, you know?

Johan.

Moral?

Dina.

Yes, I mean, are they as—as proper and well-behaved as they are here?

Johan.

Well, at any rate, they are not so bad as people here think. Don't be at all afraid of that.

Dina.

You don't understand. What I want is just that they should not be so very proper and moral.

Johan.

Indeed? What would you have them then?

Dina.

I would have them natural.

Johan.

Well, that is perhaps just what they are.
