I find it so pleasant and warm here to-day.

Yes, yes. But is there anything going on here? I got a note from you.

[Rises.] Yes, there is something I must talk to you about.

Very well; then perhaps we better go in. [To HILDA.] Still in your mountaineering dress, Miss Wangel?

[Gaily, rising.] Yes—in full uniform! But to-day I am not going climbing and breaking my neck. We two will stop quietly below and look on, doctor.

What are we to look on at?

[Softly, in alarm, to HILDA.] Hush, hush—for God's sake! He is coming! Try to get that idea out of his head. And let us be friends, Miss Wangel. Don't you think we can?

[Throws her arms impetuously round MRS. SOLNESS'S neck.] Oh, if we only could!

[Gently disengages herself.] There, there, there! There he comes, doctor. Let me have a word with you.

Is it about him?
