Mrs. Bernick.

Are you home already, Karsten?

Bernick.

Yes. I have an appointment here.

Mrs. Bernick.

[Sighing.] Oh, yes; I suppose Johan will be down here again.

Bernick.

No; it’s with one of my men. [Takes off his hat.] Where are all the ladies to-day?

Mrs. Bernick.

Mrs. Rummel and Hilda hadn’t time to come.
