I fancy he is
having a sleep now, so we must talk a little bit more quietly, if
you don't mind.
Manders. All right, we will be very quiet.
Regina (while she moves an armchair up to the table), Please sit
down, Mr. Manders, and make yourself at home. (He sits down; she
puts a footstool under his feet.) There! Is that comfortable?
Manders. Thank you, thank you. That is most comfortable; (Looks
at her.) I'll tell you what, Miss Engstrand, I certainly think
you have grown since I saw you last.
Regina. Do you think so? Mrs. Alving says, too-- that I have
developed.
Manders. Developed? Well, perhaps a little--just suitably. (A
short pause.)
Regina. Shall I tell Mrs. Alving you are here?
Manders. Thanks, there is no hurry, my dear child. Now tell me,
Regina my dear, how has your father been getting on here?
Regina. Thank you, Mr. Manders, he is getting on pretty well.
Manders. He came to see me the last time he was in town.
Regina. Did he? He is always so glad when he can have a chat with
you.
Manders.
