 Mortensgård.

No, there's nothing strange about that. But I once received another letter from this house.

Rosmer.

Also from Miss West?

Mortensgård.

No, Mr. Rosmer.

Rosmer.

Well then, from whom? From whom?

Mortensgård.

From the late Mrs. Rosmer.

Rosmer.

From my wife! You received a letter from my wife!

Mortensgård.

I did.

Rosmer.

When?

Mortensgård.

Towards the close of Mrs. Rosmer's life. Perhaps about a year and a half ago. That is the letter I call strange.

Rosmer.

I suppose you know that my wife's mind was affected at that time.

Mortensgård.

Yes; I know many people thought so. But I don't think there was anything in the letter to show it. When I call it strange, I mean in another sense.
