Hialmar.

Gina, where is she?

Gina.

[Sniffs.] Poor dear, she’s sitting out in the kitchen, I dare say.

Hialmar.

[Goes over, tears open the kitchen door, and says:] Hedvig, come, come in to me! [Looks round.] No, she’s not here.

Gina.

Then she must be in her own little room.

Hialmar.

[Without.] No, she’s not here either. [Comes in.] She must have gone out.
