[Turning.] Good-bye to you, then, Aunt Ella.

Ella Rentheim.

[Pressing his hands.] Good-bye, Erhart! And live your life—and be as happy—as happy as ever you can.

Erhart.

Thanks, Aunt. [Bowing to Borkman.] Goodbye, father. [Whispers to Mrs. Wilton.] Let us get away, the sooner the better.

Mrs. Wilton.

[In a low voice.] Yes, let us.

Mrs. Borkman.

[With a malignant smile.] Mrs. Wilton, do you think you are acting quite wisely in taking that girl with you?

Mrs. Wilton.
