ACT THIRD.

The room as before. All the doors stand open. The lamp is still burning on the table. It is dark out of doors; there is only a faint glow from the conflagration in the background to the left.

Mrs. Alving, with a shawl over her head, stands in the conservatory, looking out. Regina, also with a shawl on, stands a little behind her.

Mrs. Alving.

Regina.

The basement is still burning.

Mrs. Alving.

Regina.

Mrs. Alving.

Has he not even got his hat on?

Regina.

[Pointing to the hall.] No; there it hangs.
