The christian names of the woman
sitting to the right of Edvard Munch

:19:17
Her age is 24.

:19:46
They walk down the Karl Johan.
:19:48
All the virtuous little misses
want to trip along there.

:19:55
Jæger's vision is to set up
a special school

:19:58
for the "prim young misses"
of middle-class Kristiania,

:20:02
educate them into proud women
:20:04
who might walk freely
down the Karl Johan,

:20:07
with all the world knowing
that they love and have lovers.

:20:11
They would write
Boheme literature, open and frank,

:20:15
about their personal experiences.
:20:22
Despite the somewhat bleaker reality
of the Karl Johan,

:20:26
Hans Jæger is also planning to write
a highly personal account

:20:30
of his own love life,
:20:32
with a frankness hitherto unknown
in Norwegian literature.

:20:36
He urges Edvard Munch
to express himself in his work

:20:40
with the same total frankness.
:20:43
His father walked back and forth.
He kept his hands clasped.

:20:56
Hans Jæger is himself currently
:20:59
and publicly having an affair
with a married woman,
