Gregers. Well? Have you found any trace of him?

Gina. They say he’s down at Relling’s.

Gregers. At Relling’s! Has he really been out with those creatures?

Gina. He has like enough.

Gregers. Yes, but he—so in need of solitude and of thorough self-examination.

Gina. Yes, you may well say that.

Relling comes in from the passage.

Hedvig (going up to him). Is father with you?

Gina (at the same time). Is he there?

Relling. Yes, of course he is.
