Ah! If only I knew that I should not be so badly off. But when one has the misfortune to be called Gregers--“Gregers”--and then “Werle” after it; have you ever heard anything so hideous? (HJALMAR: Oh! I don’t think that so bad.) Huh! Pish! I should feel inclined to spit at a fellow with such a name. But when one has the misfortune to be Gregers--Werle here on earth, as I have---- HJALMAR (laughing). Ha--ha! If you weren’t Gregers Werle, what else would you be?
