Lundestad.
Oh, I don't want to commit you; if you don't care about it
Stensgård.
Not care about it! Well, I must confess I'm not so utterly devoid of ambition as you suppose. But do you really think it possible?
Lundestad.
Oh, there's nothing impossible about it. I should do my best, and so, no doubt, would the Chamberlain; he knows your oratorical gifts. You have the young men on your side
Stensgård.
Mr. Lundestad, by heaven, you are my true friend!
Lundestad.
Oh, you don't mean much by that. If you really looked upon me as a friend, you would relieve me of this burden. You have young shoulders; you could bear it so easily.
Stensgård.
I place myself entirely at your disposal; I will not fail you.
Lundestad.
Then you are really not disinclined to
Stensgård.
Here's my hand on it!
Lundestad.
Thanks! Believe me, Mr. Stensgård, you will not regret it. But now we must go warily to work.
