Gina.

Bertha has always given you some little thing on your birthday.

Hialmar.

What is it?

Hedvig.

Oh, you mustn’t see it now. Mother is to give it to me to-morrow morning before I'm up.

Hialmar.

What is all this hocus-pocus that I am to be kept in the dark about!

Hedvig.

[Quickly.] Oh no, you may see it if you like. It’s a big letter.
