Leonarda. And then--?
Aagot. Then I thought it all over! All the beautiful things you said to me about him, as we were going home, came back to me more and more forcibly. I saw you as I had always known you, n.o.ble and gentle.--It was so wonderful up there, too! The air, the clearness, the sense of s.p.a.ce!
And the lake, almost always calm, because it was so sheltered! And the wonderful stillness, especially in the evening!--And so it healed, just as a wound heals.
Leonarda. What healed?
Aagot. The pain in my heart, aunt. All the difficulties vanished. I know Hagbart to be what you said--n.o.ble and true. And you too, aunt!
You would neither of you have wished to give me a moment's pain, even unconsciously, I knew. It was so good to realise that! It was so restful, that often while I was thinking of it, I went to sleep where I sat--I was so happy!--Ah, how I love him! And then came grandmother's letter--.
[HANS comes in, but does not see AAGOT at first.]
Hans. Then I am to fetch Miss Aagot--why, there she is!
Aagot (getting up). You quite frightened me, Hans!
Hans. Welcome back, miss!
Aagot. Thank you.
Hans. Well, you have saved me a journey, miss, I suppose?
Aagot. Yes. But someone must go and fetch my things.
Hans. Of course, miss.--But what is the matter with the mistress?
Aagot. Aunt!--Heavens, what is the matter?
Hans. The mistress has not looked well lately.
Aagot. Hasn't she? Aunt, dear! Shall I--? Would you like to--? Aunt!
Hans. Shall I fetch some one to--
Leonarda. No, no!--But you, Aagot--will you-. Oh, my G.o.d!--Will you run in--and get--
Aagot. Your bottle of drops?
Leonarda. Yes. (AAGOT runs out.) Hans, go as quickly as you can to the General's--ask him to come here! At once!
Hans. Yes, ma'am.
Leonarda. Hans!
Hans. Yes, ma'am.
Leonarda. Go on horseback. You may not find the General at home--and have to go elsewhere after him.
Hans. Yes, ma'am. (Goes out. AAGOT re-enters.)
Aagot. Here it is, aunt!
Leonarda. Thank you. It is over now.
Aagot. But what was it, aunt?
Leonarda. It was something, dear--something that comes over one sometimes at the change of the year.
[Curtain.]
(The interval between this act and the next should be very short.)
ACT IV
(SCENE.--A room in the BISHOP'S house, the same evening. The lights are lit. The BISHOP comes in with LEONARDA, who is in travelling dress, with a shawl over her arm and a bag in her hand. The BISHOP makes a movement as though to relieve her of them, but she puts them down herself.)
Leonarda. Your lords.h.i.+p must excuse me for troubling you so late as this; but the reason of it is something over which I have no control.---Is your nephew here?
Bishop. No, but I expect him. He has been here twice this afternoon already to see me, but I was out.
Leonarda. I will make haste then, and do what I have to do before he comes.
Bishop. Shall I give instructions that we are to be told when he comes in?
Leonarda. If you please.
Bishop (ringing the bell). Grandmother says that as soon as he came back to-day, he went at once to see you.
Leonarda. Yes.
[Enter a Maid.]
Bishop (to the Maid). Be so good as to let me know when Mr. Hagbart comes in. (Exit Maid.)
Leonarda. Has he had a talk with his grandmother?
Bishop. Yes.
Leonarda. After he--? (Checks herself.)
Bishop. After he had been to see you.
Leonarda. Did he tell her anything?
Bishop. He was very much agitated, apparently. I did not ask grandmother any further questions; I can imagine what pa.s.sed between them.--Has he spoken to you?
