No no, certainly not; I will stay at home with you. [Points to Arnholm, who approaches.] But you haven’t said good morning to our friend?
Ellida.
[Turns.] Oh, are you there, Mr. Arnholm? [Holds out her hand.] Good morning.
Arnholm.
Good morning, Mrs. Wangel. You have not gone for your bathe to-day as usual?
Ellida.
No, no, no! I couldn’t think of it to-day. Won’t you sit down for a moment?
Arnholm.
No thank you—not just now. [Looks at Wangel.] I promised the girls I would join them in the garden.
Ellida.
