Stensgård.

Not dreams! Realities, glorious realities!

Lundestad.

So brother Bastian has brought you the answer?

Stensgård.

Bastian——?

Lundestad.

Yes, he gave me a hint yesterday; he had promised to plead your cause with a certain young lady.

Stensgård.

Oh, what nonsense——

Lundestad.

Why make a mystery of it? If you haven't heard already, I can give you the news. You have won the day, Mr. Stensgård; I have it from Ringdal.

Stensgård.

What have you from Ringdal?

Lundestad.

Miss Monsen has accepted you.

Stensgård.

What?

Lundestad.

Accepted you, I say.

Stensgård.

Accepted me! And the father has bolted!

Lundestad.

But the daughter hasn't.
