Gina. And I suppose you chatted with all of them?
Hjalmar. Oh, yes, a little. But it was Gregers who especially monopolized me.
Gina. And is Gregers as ugly as ever?
Hjalmar. Well, he’s not exactly good-looking yet. Hasn’t the old man come home yet?
Hedvig. Yes, grandfather’s in there writing.
Hjalmar. Did he say anything?
Gina. No. What should he say?
Hjalmar. Didn’t he say anything about—I thought I heard he’d been to Graberg’s. I’ll just go in to him a moment.
Gina. No, no, you’d better not.
Hjalmar. Why not? Did he say he wouldn’t have me in there?
