ACT THIRD.

Evening. Bright moonlight. Coloured lanterns are hung about the trees. In the background are covered tables with bottles, glasses, biscuits, etc. From the house, which is lighted up from top to bottom, subdued music and singing are heard during the following scene. Svanhild stands on the verandah. Falk comes from the right with some books and a portfolio under his arm. The Porter follows with a portmanteau and a knapsack.

Falk.

That's all, then?

Porter.

                   Yes, sir, all is in the pack,
But just a satchel, and the paletot.

Falk.

Good; when I go, I'll take them on my back.
Now off. See, this is the portfolio.

Porter.

It's locked, I see.

Falk.

                     Locked, Peter.
