Miss Tesman.

Good morning, good morning, George.

Tesman.

[In the doorway between the rooms.] Aunt Julia! Dear Aunt Julia! [Goes up to her and shakes hands warmly.] Come all this way—so early! Eh?

Miss Tesman.

Why, of course I had to come and see how you were getting on.

Tesman.

In spite of your having had no proper night’s rest?

Miss Tesman.

Oh, that makes no difference to me.
