SCENE IV
[INGEBORG and HEMMING enter, after a pause, from the right.]
INGEBORG. Well, here we are up here! How lovely and bright and peaceful it is!
HEMMING. Yes, here we shall live happily together!
INGEBORG. But mark you well that you are my servant, and nothing else,—until my father has given his consent.
HEMMING. That he will never do!
INGEBORG. Never you mind,—we'll find some means or other.—But now we must think about choosing a cabin to live in.
HEMMING. There are plenty of them around here. Over the whole valley there are deserted huts; everything is just the same as it was when the last people died in the terrible plague many years ago.
