 Brack.

In any case, Mrs. Tesman, it is best that you should know how matters stand. I mean—before you set about the little purchases I hear you are threatening.

Hedda.

This can make no difference.

Brack.

Indeed! Then I have no more to say. Good-bye! [To Tesman.] I shall look in on my way back from my afternoon walk, and take you home with me.

Tesman.

Oh yes; yes—your news has quite upset me.

Hedda.

[Reclining, holds out her hand.] Good-bye, Judge; and be sure you call in the afternoon.

Brack.

Many thanks. Good-bye, good-bye!

Tesman.

[Accompanying him to the door.] Good-bye my dear Judge! You must really excuse me

[Judge Brack goes out by the hall door.

Tesman.

[Crosses the room.] Oh Hedda—one should never rush into adventures. Eh?

Hedda.

[Looks at him, smiling.] Do you do that?
