Lind. Thank you, gentlemen! There is so little time left that I must confine myself to merely bidding you all good-bye. (To MRS. TJAELDE.) Good-bye, my dear madam! You should have heard how your health was proposed and drunk just now. My warmest thanks for your hospitality, and forgive me for the trouble I have caused you. (To SIGNE.) Good-bye, Miss Signe. I am sorry time has not permitted me to have the honour of becoming better acquainted with you; you seem so full of spirit! But if, as you said, you are soon coming to Christiania—
Signe. I shall then do myself the honour of calling upon your wife.
Lind. Thank you, thank you—you will be most welcome. (To VALBORG.) Are you not feeling well, Miss Valborg?
Valborg. Yes.
Lind. You look so serious. (As VALBORG does not reply, he continues somewhat coldly:) Good-bye, Miss Valborg. (To HAMAR.) Good-bye, Mr.—Mr.—
Tjaelde. Mr. Hamar.
Lind. Ah, the young man that talked to me about a horse—your future son-in-law! Pray forgive me for not—
Hamar. Don't mention it!
Lind. Good-bye!
Hamar. A pleasant journey, sir!
