[Going to meet HEDDA.] Good morning, my dear Hedda! Good morning, and a hearty welcome!
HEDDA.
[Holds out her hand.] Good morning, dear Miss Tesman! So early a call! That is kind of you.
MISS TESMAN.
[With some embarrassment.] Well—has the bride slept well in her new home?
HEDDA.
Oh yes, thanks. Passably.
TESMAN.
[Laughing.] Passably! Come, that's good, Hedda! You were sleeping like a stone when I got up.
HEDDA.
