Asta.

Yes, all the time that my brother—that Alfred and I lived together.

Borgheim.

Oh, with your brother, yes. But that is altogether different. That ought rather to be called peace than happiness, I should say.

Asta.

It was delightful, all the same.

Borgheim.

There now—you see even that seemed to you delightful. But just think now—if he had not been your brother!

Asta.
