Hilde. Because of that weakness you said you suffered from?

Lyngstrand. Yes; because of that.

Hilde. Aren't you very sorry you've that--weakness?

Lyngstrand. Oh, no! I can't say I am (smiling), for I think it's
because of it that everyone is so good, and friendly, and kind to
me.

Hilde. Yes. And then, besides, it's not dangerous.

Lyngstrand. No; it's not at all dangerous. So I gathered from
what your father said to me.

Hilde. And then it will pass away as soon as ever you begin
travelling.

Lyngstrand. Of course it will pass away.

Bolette (with flowers). Look here, Mr. Lyngstrand, you are to put
this in your button-hole.

Lyngstrand. Oh! A thousand thanks, Miss Wangel. It's really too
good of you.

Hilde (looking down the path). There they are, coming along the
road.

Bolette (also looking down). If only they know where to turn off.
