[With some embarrassment.] Well—has the bride slept well in her new home?

Hedda.

Oh yes, thanks. Passably.

Tesman.

[Laughing.] Passably! Come, that’s good, Hedda! You were sleeping like a stone when I got up.

Hedda.

Fortunately. Of course one has always to accustom one’s self to new surroundings, Miss Tesman—little by little. [Looking towards the left.] Oh—there the servant has gone and opened the veranda door, and let in a whole flood of sunshine.[sunshine.]

Miss Tesman.

[Going towards the door.] Well, then we will shut it.

Hedda.
