The Eldest Daughter. It is late, grandfather, and we are tired.
The Father. You must go to bed, and grandfather himself would do well to take a little rest.
The Grandfather. I could not sleep to-night!
The Uncle. We will wait for the doctor.
The Grandfather. Prepare for the truth.
The Uncle. But there is no truth!
The Grandfather. Then I do not know what there is!
The Uncle. I tell you there is nothing at all!
The Grandfather. I wish I could see my poor daughter!
The Father. But you know quite well it is impossible; she must not be awakened unnecessarily.
