At eight o’clock in the evening Edvard Munch comes to the council hall guardroom. As soon as von Ditten catches sight of Munch, he flies into a rage. He is convinced it is Munch who is behind all the pranks.

Now I’ve got you, Munch! So you’re the one who’s behind it all! But I have left some papers with the police. They prove that you stole …

Say that once more if you dare!

You stole ten crowns from a waiter, I said. Think I didn’t see you, Munch?

A young girl suddenly sticks her oar in, stares at Munch with unconcealed expectation. Give him one, Munch!

Munch lashes out.

This is the first in a series of punch-ups, which in letters to Aunt Karen he calls a box on the ears, in his diary, a few punches in the eye, or which von Ditten will call a blow to the upper arm and a blow to the lower arm. A punch-up in the council hall guardroom, with the whole neighbourhood as witnesses.

Von Ditten calls for the police.

No, to my manner of thinking this be a private matter, says police constable Pedersen. Called him a swindler, you have, and now he’s blacked your eye for you.
