these days, uncle.

Hilmar: Rubbish! A coward like you--

Olaf: Yes--just you wait! You will learn something tomorrow!

Hilmar: Duffer! (Goes out through the garden. OLAF runs into the
room again and shuts the door, as he sees KRAP coming in from the
right.)

Krap (going to the door of BERNICK'S room and opening it
slightly): Excuse my bothering you again, Mr. Bernick; but there
is a tremendous storm blowing up. (Waits a moment, but there is
no answer.) Is the "Indian Girl" to sail, for all that? (After a
short pause, the following answer is heard.)

Bernick (from his room): The "Indian Girl" is to sail, for all
that.

(KRAP Shuts the door and goes out again to the right.)
