Part 27

MRS. ELVSTED.

GEORGE TESMAN, with a letter in his hand, comes from the right through the inner room.

TESMAN.

There now--the epistle is finished.

HEDDA.

That's right. And now Mrs. Elvsted is just going. Wait a moment--I'll go with you to the garden gate.

TESMAN.

Do you think Berta could post the letter, Hedda dear?

HEDDA.

BERTA enters from the hall.

BERTA.

Judge Brack wishes to know if Mrs. Tesman will receive him.

HEDDA.

Yes, ask Judge Brack to come in. And look here--put this letter in the post.

BERTA. [Taking the letter.] Yes, ma'am.

JUDGE BRACK.

HEDDA.

Of course one may.

TESMAN.

HEDDA.

Oh--!

BRACK.

HEDDA.

BRACK.

So you find me--altered?

HEDDA.

A little younger, I think.

BRACK.
