Dina: Yes, it was a splendid walk. I have never had such a
splendid walk before.
Johan: Do you not often go for a walk in the morning?
Dina: Oh, yes--but only with Olaf.
Johan: I see.--Would you rather go down into the garden than stay
here?
Dina: No, I would rather stay here.
Johan.: So would I. Then shall we consider it a bargain that we
are to go for a walk like this together every morning?
Dina: No, Mr. Tonnesen, you mustn't do that.
Johan: What mustn't I do? You promised, you know.
Dina: Yes, but--on second thought--you mustn't go out with me.
Johan: But why not?
Dina: Of course, you are a stranger--you cannot understand; but I
must tell you--
Johan: Well?
Dina: No, I would rather not talk about it.
Johan: Oh, but you must; you can talk to me about whatever you
like.
Dina: Well, I must tell you that I am not like the other young
girls here. There is something--something or other about me. That
is why you mustn't.
Johan: But I do not understand anything about it. You have not
done anything wrong?
Dina: No, not I, but--no, I am not going to talk any more about
it now.
