MISS TESMAN.
Yes, quite so, my dear boy. It was your library I was thinking of.
TESMAN.
I am specially pleased on Hedda's account. Often and often, before we were engaged, she said that she would never care to live anywhere but in Secretary Falk's villa.([2])
MISS TESMAN.
Yes, it was lucky that this very house should come into the market, just after you had started.
TESMAN.
Yes, Aunt Julia, the luck was on our side, wasn't it—eh?
MISS TESMAN.
But the expense, my dear George! You will find it very expensive, all this.
