ACT FIFTH.
The remote corner of Dr. Wangel's garden, by the carp-pond. Deepening summer twilight.
Arnholm, Boletta, Lyngstrand, and Hilda, in a boat on the fiord, are punting along the shore from the left.
Hilda.
Look, we can easily jump ashore here!
Arnholm.
No no, don't do it!
Lyngstrand.
I can't jump, Miss Hilda.
Hilda.
Can't you jump either, Mr. Arnholm?
Arnholm.
I would rather not.
Boletta.
Let us land at the bathing-house steps.
[They punt the boat out to the right.
