[While he and Regina help Manders to get his coat on.] Good-bye, my child. And if any trouble should come to you, you know where Jacob Engstrand is to be found. [Softly.] Little Harbour Street, h’m——! [To Mrs. Alving and Oswald.] And the refuge for wandering mariners shall be called “Chamberlain Alving’s Home,” that it shall! And if so be as I’m spared to carry on that house in my own way, I make so bold as to promise that it shall be worthy of the Chamberlain’s memory.

Manders.

[In the doorway.] H’m—h’m!—Come along, my dear Engstrand. Good-bye! Good-bye!

[He and Engstrand go out through the hall.

Oswald.

[Goes towards the table.] What house was he talking about?

Mrs. Alving.

Oh, a kind of Home that he and Pastor Manders want to set up.

Oswald.

It will burn down like the other.
