[With resolution, throwing her cloak around her.] I will go with you, John. Borkman. Yes, we two belong to each other, Ella. [Advancing.] So come! [They have gradually passed into the low wood on the left. It conceals them little by little, until they are quite lost to sight. The house and the open space disappear.

Ella Rentheim's Voice.
[Is heard in the wood to the right.] Where are we going, John? I don't recognise this place.
Borkman's Voice.
[Higher up.] Just follow my footprints in the snow!
Ella Rentheim's Voice.
But why need we climb so high?
Borkman's Voice.
[Nearer at hand.] We must go up the winding path.
Ella Rentheim.
[Still hidden.] Oh, but I can't go much further.
