ASTA. [Quickly.] No—no, thank you. Not now. Not to-day.
BORGHEIM. Oh, do come! Only a little bit of a walk! I have so much I want to talk to you about before I go.
RITA. Something else, perhaps, that you must not talk openly about as yet?
BORGHEIM. H'm, that depends—
RITA. But there is nothing to prevent your whispering, you know. [Half aside.] Asta, you must really go with him.
ASTA. But, my dear Rita—
BORGHEIM. [Imploringly.] Miss Asta—remember it is to be a farewell walk—the last for many a day.
ASTA. [Takes her hat and parasol.] Very well, suppose we take a stroll in the garden, then.
BORGHEIM. Oh, thank you, thank you!
ALLMERS. And while you are there you can see what Eyolf is doing.
