Martha—if I could say to you——Well, at all events let me thank you for your faithful friendship.
Martha.
[Smiling sadly.] Ah——! Well, now we have made a clean breast of things, Johan. Hush, here comes some one. Good-bye; I don’t want them to——
[She goes out through the second door on the left. Lona Hessel comes from the garden, followed by Mrs. Bernick.
Mrs. Bernick.
[Still in the garden.] Good heavens, Lona, what can you be thinking of?
Lona.
Let me alone, I tell you; I must and will talk to him.
Mrs. Bernick.
