Miss Tesman.
Ah!
Tesman.
I have every expectation of being a professor one of these days.
Miss Tesman.
Oh yes, a professor
Tesman.
Indeed, I may say I am certain of it. But my dear Auntie—you know all about that already!
Miss Tesman.
[Laughing to herself.] Yes, of course I do. You are quite right there. [Changing the subject.] But we were talking about your journey. It must have cost a great deal of money, George?
Tesman.
Well, you see—my handsome travelling-scholarship went a good way.
Miss Tesman.
But I can't understand how you can have made it go far enough for two.
Tesman.
No, that's not so easy to understand—eh?
Miss Tesman.
And especially travelling with a lady—they tell me that makes it ever so much more expensive.
Tesman.
Yes, of course—it makes it a little more expensive. But Hedda had to have this trip, Auntie! She really had to. Nothing else would have done.
