ADOLPH. Yes, but please don't scold! Look at that figure over there.
TEKLA. [Uncovering the wax figure] Well, I declare!—Who is that meant for?
ADOLPH. Guess!
TEKLA. Is it Pussy? Has he got no shame at all?
ADOLPH. Is it like?
TEKLA. How can I tell when there is no face?
ADOLPH. Yes, but there is so much else—that's beautiful!
TEKLA. [Taps him playfully on the cheek] Now he must keep still or
I'll have to kiss him.
ADOLPH. [Holding her back] Now, now!—Somebody might come!
