Well, you really behave strangely about it, Gina. [To Gregers.] Then I suppose you intend to remain in the town for the present?

Gregers.

[Putting on his overcoat.] Yes, now I intend to remain here.

Hialmar.

And yet not at your father’s? What do you propose to do, then?

Gregers.

Ah, if I only knew that, Hialmar, I shouldn’t be so badly off! But when one has the misfortune to be called Gregers—! “Gregers”—and then “Werle” after it; did you ever hear anything so hideous?

Hialmar.

Oh, I don’t think so at all.

Gregers.
