 Manders.

[Hangs his travelling-bag over his shoulder.] And now let us set out. We two will go together.

Engstrand.

[At the dining-room door, softly to Regina.] You come along too, my lass. You shall live as snug as the yolk in an egg.

Regin

[Tosses her head.] Merci!

[She goes out into the hall and fetches Mander's overcoat.

Manders.

Good-bye, Mrs. Alving! and may the spirit of Law and Order descend upon this house, and that quickly.

Mrs. Alving.

Good-bye, Pastor Manders.

[She goes up towards the conservatory, as she sees Oswald coming in through the garden door.

Engstrand.

[While he and Regina help Manders to get his coat on.] Good-bye, my child. And if any trouble should come to you, you know where Jacob Engstrand is to be found. [Softly.] Little Harbour Street, h'm! [To Mrs. Alving and Oswald.] And the refuge for wandering mariners shall be called "Chamberlain Alving's Home," that it shall! And if so be as I'm spared to carry on that house in my own way, I make so bold as to promise that it shall be worthy of the Chamberlain's memory.
