Tesman.

Well, I suppose you got home all right from the pier? Eh?

Miss Tesman.

Yes, quite safely, thank goodness. Judge Brack was good enough to see me right to my door.

Tesman.

We were so sorry we couldn’t give you a seat in the carriage. But you saw what a pile of boxes Hedda had to bring with her.

Miss Tesman.

Yes, she had certainly plenty of boxes.

Berta.

[To Tesman.] Shall I go in and see if there’s anything I can do for the mistress?
