TESMAN.
What! Eilert Lovborg! Recently—eh?
MISS TESMAN.
Yes, so they say. Heaven knows whether it can be worth anything! Ah, when your new book appears—that will be another story, George! What is it to be about?
TESMAN.
It will deal with the domestic industries of Brabant during the Middle Ages.
MISS TESMAN.
Fancy—to be able to write on such a subject as that!
TESMAN.
However, it may be some time before the book is ready. I have all these collections to arrange first, you see.
