Miss Tesman.

And especially travelling with a lady—they tell me that makes it ever so much more expensive.

Tesman.

Yes, of course—it makes it a little more expensive. But Hedda had to have this trip, Auntie! She really had to. Nothing else would have done.

Miss Tesman.

No no, I suppose not. A wedding-tour seems to be quite indispensable nowadays.—But tell me now—have you gone thoroughly over the house yet?

Tesman.

Yes, you may be sure I have. I have been afoot ever since daylight.

Miss Tesman.

And what do you think of it all?
