Here at least there is a little air. (Sits down in arbour.) Arnholm (going thither). I think the air quite fresh here. Ellida. Yes, you--who are used to the stifling air of the town! It's terrible there in the summer, I hear. Wangel (who has also gone into the garden). Hm, dear Ellida, you must just entertain our friend alone for a little while. Ellida. Are you busy? Wangel. Yes, I must go down to the office. And then I must change. But I won't be long. Arnholm (sitting down in arbour). Now, don't hurry, dear doctor. Your wife and I will manage to kill the time. Wangel (nodding). Oh, yes! I'm sure you will. Well, goodbye for the present. (He goes out through the garden.) Ellida (after a short pause). Don't you think it's pleasant sitting out here? |
