Very well. You have ordered the carriage?

Madam Helseth.

Yes. The coachman wants to know what time he ought to be here.

Rebecca.

About eleven o’clock, I think. The steamer starts at midnight.

Madam Helseth.

[Hesitates a little.] But the Pastor? If he shouldn’t be home by that time?

Rebecca.

I shall go all the same. If I don’t see him, you can tell him that I will write to him—a long letter. Tell him that.

Madam Helseth.
