Leonarda. Yes.—When Aagot comes, will your lordship give her this?—and help her?
Bishop. I will, Mrs. Falk. God bless you!
[Enter Maid.]
Maid. Mr. Hagbart has just come in.
Leonarda. Good-bye!—Say good-bye to—
Bishop (taking her hand). What you are doing is more than any one of us could have done.
Leonarda. It all depends on how deeply one loves.—Thank you, and good-bye!
Bishop. Good-bye! (GENERAL ROSEN offers LEONARDA his arm. She takes it, and they go out. The BISHOP follows them. HAGBART comes in from the right, looks round in astonishment, then goes towards the back of the room and meets the BISHOP in the doorway.)
Bishop. Is that you? (Both come forward without speaking.)
Hagbart (in a low voice, but evidently under the influence of great emotion). I can tell by your voice—and your face—that you know about it.
