Manders. No, no, I couldn't possibly accept that.
Engstrand. That's how it will be, all the same. I know someone

Manders. Jacob! (Grasps his hand.) You are one in a thousand! You
shall have assistance in the matter of your Sailors' Home, you

Manders (hanging his wallet over his shoulder). Now we must be

Engstrand (by the dining-room door, says aside to REGINA). Come
with me, you hussy! You shall be as cosy as the yolk in an egg!
Regina (tossing her head). Merci!
(She goes out into the hall and brings back MANDERS' luggage.)
Manders. Good-bye, Mrs. Alving! And may the spirit of order and
of what is lawful speedily enter into this house.
Mrs. Alving. Goodbye, Mr. Manders.
(She goes into the conservatory, as she sees OSWALD coming in by
the garden door.)
Engstrand (as he and REGINA are helping MANDERS on with his
coat).
