[To Gina.] To tell the truth, I hoped your men-folk would be out at this time. I just ran up to have a little chat with you, and to say good-bye.

Gina.

Good-bye? Are you going away, then?

Mrs. Sörby.

Gina.

Only fancy——!

Hialmar.

So Mr. Werle has gone? And now you are going after him?

Mrs. Sörby
