Wangel.
Full confidence, dear. A life in common—such as we used to live.
Ellida.
Oh, if that could only be! But it’s so utterly impossible!
Wangel.
I think I understand you. From certain things you have let fall now and then, I believe I do.
Ellida.
[Vehemently.] No you don’t! Don’t say that you understand——!
Wangel.
Oh yes. Yours is an upright nature, Ellida. You have a loyal heart.
