ALLMERS. Oh, what is the use of that?
ASTA. Rita asked me to put it on. May I?
ALLMERS. Oh, yes; as far as I'm concerned—[She sews the crape on his hat.]
ALLMERS. [Sitting and looking at her.] Where is Rita?
ASTA. She is walking about the garden a little, I think. Borgheim is with her.
ALLMERS. [Slightly surprised.] Indeed! Is Borgheim out here to-day again?
ASTA. Yes. He came out by the mid-day train.
ALLMERS. I didn't expect that.
ASTA. [Serving.] He was so fond of Eyolf.
ALLMERS. Borgheim is a faithful soul, Asta.
