[INGEBORG. HEMMING.]
INGEBORG. [Puts her foot forward.] See there,—fasten it tight!
[HEMMING kneels and does her bidding.]
INGEBORG. [As she puts the other foot forward.] There,—buckle this one too! Well, why do you bow your head? Has something gone wrong?
HEMMING. Do you demand that I shall speak honestly?
INGEBORG. Certainly I do.
HEMMING. Well, then you must know—
INGEBORG. [Quickly.] O no, it isn't necessary.
