Hurrah, to-morrow, Sunday—I’ll create!

Guldstad [laughing].

Yes, strip, and tackle it like a man, that’s right!

But first go in and sleep on it. Good-night!

[Goes out to the left. Svanhild appears in the room over the verandah; she shuts the window and draws down the blind.

Falk.

No, first I’ll act. I’ve slept too long and late.

[Looks up at Svanhild’s window, and exclaims, as if seized with a sudden resolution:

Good-night! Good-night! Sweet dreams to-night be thine;

To-morrow, Svanhild, thou art plighted mine!
