[Smiling.] Hialmar, shall we let him see it?
Hialmar.
[Hastily and a little embarrassed.] Oh no no, father; not this evening.
Gregers.
What does he want to show me?
Hialmar.
Oh, it’s only something—you can see it another time.
Gregers.
[Continues, to the old man.] You see I have been thinking, Lieutenant Ekdal, that you should come up with me to the works; I am sure to be going back soon. No doubt you could get some copying there too. And here, you have nothing on earth to interest you—nothing to liven you up.
Ekdal.
