LISA. So it seems, but do not always believe your eyes.

PEHR. A strange world, this! But let me see if it is the same girl?
[Stares at her.] Yes, it is she. [Starts to run toward her, then
catches sight of ring.] What! my ring? You robbed me while I lay
senseless! Oh, do not believe your eyes, you said. No! for now I
have my first lesson--I wanted to embrace an angel, and I find a
thief.

LISA. Do not always believe your eyes, Pehr; investigate before you
judge.

PEHR. You are right. I shall do so. Girl, who are you? What is your
name?

LISA. Lisa is my name, but who I am you must not know until the
time is fulfilled. I came here and found you senseless--on the ice
I found your ring, the powers of which I did not know.

PEHR. You have saved me from certain death in the snow. Forgive me!
Lisa, you shall go with me on my journey, and you shall see a jolly
life.

LISA. You are traveling, you say--What is the object of your
journey?

PEHR. I seek--like all the rest--happiness.

LISA. You seek happiness! That is a fleeting thing.
