Part 66

Yes, when I saw that a certain person had come back to town--and that he went off with them. For we've heard enough about that gentleman before now.

MRS. ELVSTED.

Don't speak so loud. You will waken Mrs. Tesman.

BERTA.

MRS. ELVSTED.

Thanks, not for me.

BERTA.

Oh, very well. [She goes softly out by the hall door.

HEDDA.

MRS. ELVSTED.

It was only the servant.

HEDDA.

MRS. ELVSTED.

HEDDA.

When did Tesman come home?

MRS. ELVSTED.

He has not come.

HEDDA.

Not come home yet?

MRS. ELVSTED.

HEDDA.

Think of our watching and waiting here till four in the morning--

MRS. ELVSTED.

HEDDA.

MRS. ELVSTED.

Did you get a little sleep?

HEDDA.

Oh yes; I believe I have slept pretty well. Have you not?
