[Quickly.] Of course Lars goes with us—with the dogs.

Professor Rubek.

I feel no curiosity as to the movements of Mr. Lars and his dogs. [Changing the subject.] Would you not rather sit properly on the seat?

Maia.

[Drowsily.] No, thank you. I’m lying so delightfully in the soft heather.

Professor Rubek.

I can see that you are tired.

Maia.

[Yawning.] I almost think I’m beginning to feel tired.

Professor Rubek.
