Miss Tesman.
[In quiet emotion.] I shall not let a day pass without coming to see you.
Tesman.
No you won’t, will you, Auntie? Eh?
Miss Tesman.
Good-bye—good-bye!
[She goes out by the hall door. Tesman accompanies her. The door remains half open. Tesman can be heard repeating his message to Aunt Rina and his thanks for the slippers.
[In the meantime, Hedda walks about the room, raising her arms and clenching her hands as if in desperation. Then she flings back the curtains from the glass door, and stands there looking out.
[Presently Tesman returns and closes the door behind him.
Tesman.
