Manders and Mrs. Alving enter from the dining-room.

Mrs. Alving.

[Still in the doorway.] Velbekomme,[[13]] Mr. Manders. [Turns back towards the dining-room.] Aren’t you coming too, Oswald?

Oswald.

[From within.] No, thank you. I think I shall go out a little.

Mrs. Alving.

Yes, do. The weather seems a little brighter now. [She shuts the dining-room door, goes to the hall door, and calls:] Regina!

Regina.

[Outside.] Yes, Mrs. Alving?

Mrs. Alving.
