No, not only that. I should love above everything to learn to engrave pictures like those in the English books.
Gregers.
H'm. What does your father say to that?
Hedvig.
I don’t think father likes it; father is strange about such things. Only think, he talks of my learning basket-making, and straw-plaiting! But I don’t think that would be much good.
Gregers.
Oh no, I don’t think so either.
Hedvig.
But father was right in saying that if I had learnt basket-making I could have made the new basket for the wild duck.
Gregers.
