I am sure you would.

MRS. ELVSTED.

Well, but you husband is certain to come soon now; and then I want to know at once—

HEDDA.

I shall take care to let you know when he comes.

MRS. ELVSTED.

Do you promise me, Hedda?

HEDDA.

Yes, rely upon me. Just you go in and have a sleep in the meantime.

MRS. ELVSTED.
