FRIDA. [Putting her music in its case.] I really must. [Visibly embarrassed.] I have an engagement this evening.
BORKMAN.
For a party?
FRIDA.
Yes.
BORKMAN.
And you are to play before the company?
FRIDA.
[Biting her lip.] No; at least I am only to play for dancing.
BORKMAN.
Only for dancing?
FRIDA.
Yes; there is to be a dance after supper.
BORKMAN.
[Stands and looks at her.] Do you like playing dance music?
At parties, I mean?
FRIDA. [Putting on her outdoor things.] Yes, when I can get an engagement. I can always earn a little in that way.
BORKMAN. [With interest.] Is that the principal thing in your mind as you sit playing for the dancers?
