Wangel.
[Who is standing at the back, beside the landmark.] Dear Ellida, now we have a little time to ourselves
Ellida.
Yes, come and sit here beside me.
Wangel.
[Seats himself.] It's so open and peaceful here. Now let us have a little talk.
Ellida. What about?
Wangel.
About you; and about our relation to each other, Ellida. I see well enough that this state of things cannot continue.
Ellida. What would you have in its place?
Wangel.
Full confidence, dear. A life in common—such as we used to live.
Ellida.
Oh, if that could only be! But it's so utterly impossible!
Wangel.
I think I understand you. From certain things you have let fall now and then, I believe I do.
Ellida.
[Vehemently.] No you don't! Don't say that you understand!
