Mrs. Wilton.

[Quickly and with decision.] We are going away, Mrs. Borkman.

Mrs. Borkman.

[Turning pale.] Are you going away, too? Together, no doubt?

Mrs. Wilton.

[Nodding.] Yes, I am going abroad, to the South. I am taking a young girl with me. And Erhart is going along with us.

Mrs. Borkman.

With you—and a young girl?

Mrs. Wilton.

Mrs. Borkman.

Mrs. Wilton.

Mrs. Borkman.

[Suppressing a smile.] What do you say to this, Erhart?
