STEINDOR. She tied the spade and angelica to the rope. Pull it up! (INGOLF pulls the rope up quickly.)
STEINDOR. Now she is going to look for the pearls.
INGOLF (The fear and anxiety seen on his face all this time give place to a more cheerful expression). Now we can be at ease. Who knows, maybe she will find the pearls!
STEINDOR. She is searching in the pool. She is pulling out the duck-weed.
INGOLF (draws the spade and angelica up over the edge, loosens the rope, coils it up, and throws it down again).
STEINDOR. She is walking around the pool. Now she has turned her back to me. I can't see—I think she is looking around... she is bending over the pool.
INGOLF. Now I am at ease—
STEINDOR. Now she jumped up! She is raising her arms—she is waving the pearls at me!
INGOLF. Bravo, bravo!
STEINDOR. It was just a piece of luck!—Now she is tying the rope around herself.—
