STEEN. No!
HOLGER. (Looking out) Why the road's all empty again!
STEEN. (In a wailing tone) Everybody's gone!
HOLGER. (Trying to be brave) They're lighting the cathedral!
STEEN. I don't care!
HOLGER. Oh, Steen, come see,—like the stars coming out!
STEEN. I won't see! Mother said way last summer that we could go to-night, and now—(His voice breaks in a sob)
HOLGER. She meant it! She didn't know that the grandmother would be ill, and she and father'ud have to go to her. Be fair, Steen!
STEEN. They might let us go alone. "Too little!" Bah!
HOLGER. (In a low almost frightened tone) Steen, come here!
