Yes, but there is an expression about the corners of the mouth—something about the lips—that reminds one exactly of Alving: at any rate, now that he is smoking.
Mrs. Alving.
Not in the least. Oswald has rather a clerical curve about his mouth, I think.
Manders.
Yes, yes; some of my colleagues have much the same expression.
Mrs. Alving.
But put your pipe away, my dear boy; I won’t have smoking in here.
Oswald.
[Does so.] By all means. I only wanted to try it; for I once smoked it when I was a child.
Mrs. Alving.
