Hilde. Oh! it wouldn't be so extraordinary. Her mother went mad,
too. She died mad--I know that.

Bolette. Yes, heaven only knows what you don't poke your nose

(WANGEL, ELLIDA, ARNHOLM and LYNGSTRAND come up from the right.)

Ellida (pointing to the background). Out there it lies.

Arnholm. Quite right. It must be in that direction.

Ellida. Out there is the sea.

Bolette (to ARNHOLM). Don't you think it is delightful up here?

Arnholm. It's magnificent, I think. Glorious view!

Wangel. I suppose you never used to come up here?

Arnholm. No, never. In my time I think it was hardly accessible;
there wasn't any path even.

Wangel. And no grounds. All this has been done during the last
few years.

Bolette. And there, at the "Pilot's Mount," it's even grander
than here.
