Hilda.

Does this “lesion” make you very unhappy?

Lyngstrand.

Oh no, I can’t say it does. [Smiling.] For I believe it is that which makes everybody so kind and friendly and helpful to me.

Hilda.

Yes; and of course it’s not a bit serious.

Lyngstrand.

No, not serious in the least. I could see quite well that your father thought so too.

Hilda.

And it will pass off as soon as you go abroad?
