Don’t you think you ought to keep an eye on that sort of thing?
Wangel.
Yes, no doubt you are right. But, bless my soul, what is a poor fellow to do? The girls have got so accustomed to look after themselves; they will not listen to a word, either from me or from Ellida.
Arnholm.
Not even from her?
Wangel.
No. And besides, I cannot expect her to interfere in such matters; it is not at all in her way. [Breaking off.] But that was not what we were going to talk about. Tell me—have you given any more thought to it?—to all that I told you last night?
Arnholm.
I have thought of nothing else, ever since we parted.
Wangel.
