Be calm, be calm. He is gone now, and you shall never see him again.

Ellida.

Oh, how can you say that? He is coming again to-morrow night.

Wangel.

Let him come; I will see that he does not meet you.

Ellida.

[Shakes her head.] Oh Wangel, do not think that you can prevent him.

Wangel.

Yes I can, dearest—rely upon me.

Ellida.
