Not a bit of it! Not before we have had a little chat. This afternoon I shall have finished my job down at the school house, and I shall be off home to town by tonight's boat. (Regina: Pleasant journey to you!) Thanks, my girl. Tomorrow is the opening of the Orphanage, and I expect there will be a fine kick-up here and plenty of good strong drink, don't you know. And no one shall say of Jacob Engstrand that he can't hold off when temptation comes in his way. (Regina: Oho!) Yes, because there will be a lot of fine folk here tomorrow. Parson Manders is expected from town, too. Regina: What's more, he's coming today.
