Quote #10
ENGSTRAND. Oh, that'll be the way of it, all the same. I know a man as has taken others' sins upon himself before now, I do. (3.71)
Pastor Manders accepts Engstrand's offer to cover up the Pastor's involvement in the fire – though it's by no means certain that it was his fault. The Pastor and Engstrand embark on more lies, just as Mrs. Alving and Oswald are about to confront a terrible truth.
