 Gregers. [Coming in.] I told you I would come and look you up.

Hialmar. But this evening? Have you left the party?

Gregers. I have left both the party and my father's house.—Good evening, Mrs. Ekdal. I don't know whether you recognise me?

Gregers. Yes, I have gone to a hotel.

Hialmar. Indeed. Well, since you're here, take off your coat and sit down.

Gregers. Thanks. [He takes off his overcoat. He is now dressed in a plain grey suit of a countrified cut.

Hialmar. Here, on the sofa. Make yourself comfortable. [Gregers seats himself on the sofa; Hialmar takes a chair at the table.
