Stensgård.

Bastian’s? And here——? [Glances at the address, crumples the letter together, and crams it into his pocket.] Oh, curse you for a blunderer!

Madam Rundholmen.

Of course I was willing enough. There’s no trusting the men-folk, I know; but when you have it in black and white that their intentions are honourable——Why, there’s Mr. Stensgård, I declare. Well, Mr. Stensgård, won’t you congratulate me?

Heire.

[To Lundestad.] How hungrily she glares at him.

The Chamberlain.

Of course he will, Madam Rundholmen; but won’t you congratulate your sister-in-law to be?

Madam Rundholmen.
