 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.

Should you like me to take down his hat to him?

Mrs. Alving.

Has he not even got his hat on?

Regina.

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