Well, well, if you think you really cannot--Then our old relations remain unchanged, dear Bolette. (Bolette: What do you mean?) Of course, to keep my promise all the same. I will take care you get out into the world and see something of it. Learn some things you really want to know; live safe and independent. Your future I shall provide for also, Bolette. For in me you will always have a good, faithful, trustworthy friend. Be sure of that. (Bolette: Good heavens! Mr. Arnholm, all that is so utterly impossible now.) Is that impossible too?
