No.
INGOLF. Let us wait calmly. (Rests his chin in his palm.)
INGOLF. Do you see her?
STEINDOR. No.
INGOLF. I wish she would come out soon.
INGOLF. Do you see her?
STEINDOR. No.
INGOLF. I can't understand what is keeping her so long.
STEINDOR. You couldn't expect her any sooner. (Peers down.) She
has just come from under the rock. She has an angelica with her.
INGOLF. She is jerking the rope--she jerked three times.
STEINDOR. She tied the spade and angelica to the rope. Pull it up!
(INGOLF pulls the rope up quickly.)
STEINDOR. Now she is going to look for the pearls.
INGOLF (The fear and anxiety seen on his face all this time give
place to a more cheerful expression). Now we can be at ease. Who
knows, maybe she will find the pearls!
STEINDOR. She is searching in the pool. She is pulling out the
duck-weed.
INGOLF (draws the spade and angelica up over the edge, loosens the
rope, coils it up, and throws it down again).
STEINDOR. She is walking around the pool. Now she has turned her
back to me. I can't see--I think she is looking around ... she is
bending over the pool.
