 ACT FOURTH.

The sitting-room at Rosmersholm. Late evening. A lighted lamp, with a shade over it, on the table.

Rebecca West stands by the table, packing some small articles in a hand-bag. Her cloak, hat, and the white crocheted shawl are hanging over the back of the sofa.

Madam Helseth enters from the right.

Madam Helseth.

[Speaks in a low voice and appears ill at ease.] All your things have been taken down, Miss. They are in the kitchen passage.

Rebecca.

Madam Helseth.

Yes. The coachman wants to know what time he ought to be here.

Rebecca.

About eleven o'clock, I think. The steamer starts at midnight.

Madam Helseth.

[Hesitates a little.] But the Pastor? If he shouldn't be home by that time?
