Miss Tesman.
Yes, it was lucky that this very house should come into the market, just after you had started.
Tesman.
Yes, Aunt Julia, the luck was on our side, wasn't iteh?
Miss Tesman.
But the expense, my dear George. You will find it very expensive, all this.
Tesman.
[Looks at her, a little cast down.] Yes, I suppose I shall, Aunt!
Miss Tesman.
Oh, frightfully!
Tesman.
How much do you think? In round numbers?—Eh?
Miss Tesman.
Oh, I can't even guess until all the accounts come in.
Tesman.
Well, fortunately, Judge Brack has secured the most favourable terms for me,—so he said in a letter to Hedda.
Miss Tesman.
Yes, don't be uneasy, my dear boy.—Besides, I have given security for the furniture and all the carpets.
Tesman.
Security? You? My dear Aunt Julia—what sort of security could you give?
