Oh, no; I don’t believe it. Now you ought to go and play a little in the garden.

Eyolf.

Should I not take some books with me?

Allmers.

No, no books after this. You had better go down to the beach to the other boys.

Eyolf.

[Shyly.] No, Papa, I won’t go down to the boys to-day.

Allmers.

Why not?

Eyolf.
