)
Rummel: Come along, let us have a final consultation. Come in,
too, Mr. Krap; you must assist us with information on one or two
points of detail. (All the men go into BERNICK'S room. LONA has
drawn the curtains over the windows, and is just going to do the
same over the open glass door, when OLAF jumps down from the room
above on to the garden steps; he has a wrap over his shoulders
and a bundle in his hand.)
Lona: Bless me, child, how you frightened me!
Olaf (hiding his bundle): Hush, aunt!
Lona: Did you jump out of the window? Where are you going?
Olaf: Hush!--don't say anything. I want to go to Uncle Johan--
only on to the quay, you know--only to say goodbye to him. Good-
night, aunt! (Runs out through the garden.)
Lona: No--stop! Olaf--Olaf!
(JOHAN, dressed for his journey, with a bag over his shoulder,
comes warily in by the door on the right.)
Johan: Lona!
Lona (turning round): What! Back again?
Johan: I have still a few minutes. I must see her once more; we
cannot part like this. (The farther door on the left opens, and
MARTHA and DINA, both with cloaks on, and the latter carrying a
small travelling bag in her hand, come in.
