[Puts her head out between the curtains.] And of Aunt Julia. And of all the rest of them.—After this, I will be quiet. [Closes the curtains again.]
Tesman.
[At the writing-table.] It’s not good for her to see us at this distressing work. I’ll tell you what, Mrs. Elvsted,—you shall take the empty room at Aunt Julia’s, and then I will come over in the evenings, and we can sit and work there—eh?
Hedda.
[In the inner room.] I hear what you are saying, Tesman. But how am I to get through the evenings out here?
Tesman.
[Turning over the papers.] Oh, I daresay Judge Brack will be so kind as to look in now and then, even though I am out.
Brack.
[In the arm-chair, calls out gaily.] Every blessëd evening, with all the pleasure in life, Mrs. Tesman! We shall get on capitally together, we two!
Hedda.
