that the sort of work for you? Are you so frightfully anxious to
go and wear out your health and strength for the sake of these
dirty brats?

Regina. No, if things were to go as I want them to, then--. Well,
it may happen; who knows? It may happen!

Engstrand. What may happen?

Regina. Never you mind. Is it much that you have put by, up here?

Engstrand. Taking it all round, I should say about forty or fifty
pounds.

Regina. That's not so bad.

Engstrand. It's enough to make a start with, my girl.

Regina. Don't you mean to give me any of the money?

Engstrand. No, I'm hanged if I do.

Regina. Don't you mean to send me as much as a dress-length of
stuff, just for once?

Engstrand. Come and live in the town with me and you shall have
plenty of dresses.

Regina: Pooh!--I can get that much for myself, if I have a mind
to.
