Gregers Werle.
[Bareheaded, in indoor dress, enters and slops near the door.] H'm!
Hedvig.
[Turns and goes towards him.] Good morning. Please come in.
Gregers.
Thank you. [Looking towards the garret.] You seem to have workpeople in the house.
Hedvig.
No, it is only father and grandfather. I'll tell them you are here.
Gregers.
No no, don't do that; I would rather wait a little. [Seats himself on the sofa.
Hedvig.
It looks so untidy here [Begins to clear away the photographs.
Gregers.
Oh, don't take them away. Are those prints that have to be finished off?
Hedvig. Yes, they are a few I was helping father with.
Gregers. Please don't let me disturb you.
Hedvig. Oh no.
[She gathers the things to her and sits down to work; Gregers looks at her, meanwhile, in silence.
