[After a short pause, to Hedda.] Is not she lovely to look at?
Hedda.
[Lightly stroking her hair.] Only to look at?
Lövborg.
Yes. For we two—she and I—we are two real comrades. We have absolute faith in each other; so we can sit and talk with perfect frankness——
Hedda.
Not round about, Mr. Lövborg?
Lövborg.
Well——
Mrs. Elvsted.
