[Sulkily.] I had to put some clothes on first, I suppose.

Mrs. Borkman.

Yes, you must dress yourself properly, and then you must run at once and fetch my son.

The Maid.

[Looking at her in astonishment.] You want me to fetch Mr. Erhart?

Mrs. Borkman.

Yes; tell him he must come home to me at once; I want to speak to him.

The Maid.

[Grumbling.] Then I’d better go to the bailiff’s and call up the coachman.

Mrs. Borkman.
