From Easter by August Strindberg

Have you noticed that too? Hush, some one is coming. I hear--Elis, oh, how good! My only friend on earth! But--he didn't expect me! And he will not be glad to see me--no, he won't be, I am sure he won't be. Benjamin, have a pleasant face and be cheerful when my poor brother comes in. I am going in here while you prepare him for my being here. But no matter what he says, don't you say anything that would hurt him, for that would make me unhappy. Do you promise? Give me your hand. So! Now you are my little brother. God bless and keep you! Poor Elis!
