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.
