Has the inspection taken place, then?
Krap: Of course; but--
Bernick: There, you see! And of course they found nothing to
complain of?
Krap: Mr. Bernick, you know very well how much this inspection
means, especially in a yard that has such a good name as ours
has.
Bernick: No matter--it takes all responsibility off us.
Krap: But, sir, could you really not tell from Aune's manner

Bernick: Aune has completely reassured me, let me tell you.
Krap: And let me tell you, sir, that I am morally certain that--
Bernick: What does this mean, Krap? I see plainly enough that you
want to get your knife into this man; but if you want to attack

should sail to-morrow.
Krap: Very well--so be it; but if ever we hear of that ship
again--hm!
(VIGELAND comes in from the right.)
Vigeland: I wish you a very good morning, Mr. Bernick. Have you a
moment to spare?
Bernick: At your service, Mr. Vigeland.
Vigeland: I only want to know if you are also of opinion that the
"Palm Tree" should sail tomorrow?
Bernick: Certainly; I thought that was quite settled.
