Fancy—all that money for me! [Shakes him.] Father, father, aren’t you glad——?

Hialmar.

[Eluding her.] Glad! [Walks about.] Oh what vistas—what perspectives open up before me! It is Hedvig, Hedvig that he showers these benefactions upon!

Gina.

Yes, because it’s Hedvig’s birthday——

Hedvig.

And you’ll get it all the same, father! You know quite well I shall give all the money to you and mother.

Hialmar.

To mother, yes! There we have it.
