Miss Tesman.
And then this fine long wedding-tour you have had! More than five—nearly six months
Tesman.
Well, for me it has been a sort of tour of research as well. I have had to do so much grubbing among old records—and to read no end of books too, Auntie.
Miss Tesman.
Oh yes, I suppose so. [More confidentially, and lowering her voice a little.] But listen now, George,—have you nothing—nothing special to tell me?
Tesman. As to our journey?
Miss Tesman. Yes.
Tesman.
No, I don't know of anything except what I have told you in my letters. I had a doctor's degree conferred on me—but that I told you yesterday.
Miss Tesman.
Yes, yes, you did. But what I mean is—haven't you any—any—expectations?
Tesman.
Expectations?
Miss Tesman.
Why you know, George—I'm your old auntie!
Tesman. Why, of course I have expectations.
