Lyngstrand.
Yes, we were just going, Doctor.
Wangel.
We will perhaps come afterwards. We'll come presently.
Hilda.
[Whispers to Lyngstrand.] Another pair, you see. [She and Lyngstrand go out through the garden to the left. Distant music of wind instruments is heard out on the fiord during what follows.
Ellida.
He has come! He is here! Yes, yes—I feel it.
Wangel.
You had better go in, Ellida. Let me see him alone.
Ellida.
Oh—it is impossible! Impossible, I say! [With a cry.] Ah—do you see him Wangel!
The Stranger enters from the left and stops on the footpath, outside the garden fence.
The Stranger.
[Bows.] Good evening. I have come again you see, Ellida.
Ellida.
Yes, yes, yes,—the hour has come.
The Stranger.
Are you ready to go with me? Or are you not?
