 Mrs. Bernick.

Think what a frightful scandal it would be! Ah, Johan, are you still here?

Lona.

Out with you, boy; don't hang about indoors in the stuffy rooms; go down the garden and talk to Dina.

Johan.

Just what I was thinking of doing.

Mrs. Bernick.

Lona.

Listen, Johan; have you ever really looked at Dina?

Johan.

Yes; I should think I had.

Lona.

Well, you should look at her to some purpose. She's the very thing for you.

Mrs. Bernick.

But, Lona!

Johan.

The thing for me?

Lona.

Yes, to look at, I mean. Now go!

Johan.

Yes, yes; I don't need any driving.

Mrs. Bernick.

Lona, you amaze me. You cannot possibly be in earnest.
