MISS TESMAN.

I bought it on Hedda's account.


TESMAN.

On Hedda's account? Eh?


MISS TESMAN.

Yes, so that Hedda needn't be ashamed of me if we happened to go out
together.


TESMAN.

[Patting her cheek.] You always think of everything, Aunt Julia.
[Lays the bonnet on a chair beside the table.] And now, look here--
suppose we sit comfortably on the sofa and have a little chat, till
Hedda comes.
[They seat themselves. She places her parasol in the corner
of the sofa.
