The Stranger.
[Bows.] Good evening. I have come again you see, Ellida.
Ellida.
Yes, yes, yes,—the hour has come.
The Stranger.
Are you ready to go with me? Or are you not?
Wangel.
You can see for yourself that she is not.
The Stranger.
I was not thinking of travelling-clothes and trunks and that sort of thing. I have on board with me everything she requires for the voyage; and I have taken a cabin for her. [To Ellida.] I ask you, then, if you are ready to come with me—to come with me of your own free will?
