Mrs. Alving.
Let us speak of it plainly, as a matter of business.—Are you waiting for Mr. Manders, Engstrand?
Engstrand.
[At the hall door.] That's just what I'm a-doing of, ma'am.
Mrs. Alving.
Then sit down meanwhile.
Engstrand.
Thank you, ma'am; I'd as soon stand.
Mrs. Alving.
[To Manders.] I suppose you are going by the steamer?
Manders.
Yes; it starts in an hour.
Mrs. Alving.
Then be so good as to take all the papers with you. I won't hear another word about this affair. I have other things to think of
Manders.
Mrs. Alving
Mrs. Alving.
Later on I shall send you a Power of Attorney to settle everything as you please.
Manders.
That I will very readily undertake. The original destination of the endowment must now be completely changed, alas!
