Gina. So I heard. Why, you’ve asked him to lunch.
Hjalmar. Only to a little simple bit of early lunch, you know. It’s his first day—and we couldn’t very well avoid it. You’ve got something in the house, I suppose.
Gina. I’ll try and get something or other.
Hjalmar. But don’t get too little. For I fancy Relling and Molvik are coming up too. I happened to meet Relling on the stairs, you see, and so I couldn’t but——
Gina. Oh! Are we to have those two as well?
Hjalmar. Good Lord—two more or less’ll make no difference.
Ekdal (opening his door and looking in). I say, Hjalmar—— (noticing Gina.) Oh! I see!
Gina. Do you want anything, grandfather?
Ekdal. Oh, no! It’s all right. H’m! (He goes in again.)
Gina (taking up the basket). Take care he doesn’t get out.
