Is not that the parcel he had with him yesterday?
Tesman.
Yes, it is the whole of his precious, irreplaceable manuscript! And he had gone and lost it, and knew nothing about it. Only fancy, Hedda! So deplorably——
Hedda.
But why did you not give him back the parcel at once?
Tesman.
I didn’t dare to—in the state he was then in——
Hedda.
Did you not tell any of the others that you had found it?
Tesman.
