FIFTH SCENE.
Archibald Alexander translation
AGNES. FRAU VON DROSSE (extremely delicate in appearance, forty, suffering--with girlish complexion--gay, absent smile--dreamy, gentle expression--gliding, careful walk--breathing deeply).
Agnes.
(Hastens to meet her, to support her.) Forgive me, aunt, that I did not go to fetch you.
Frau von Drosse.
No matter, darling ... I could manage.... Is there any news?
(Agnes shakes her head.)
Frau von Drosse sighing).
Ah, yes.
Agnes.
Do you know, aunt, I have a sort of presentiment that he will soon be here himself.
Frau von Drosse.
Yes, if things happened according to presentiments!
