Oh yes,--for once in a way. Especially the beginning of the evening; for then Eilert read me part of his book. We arrived more than an hour too early--fancy that! And Brack had all sorts of arrangements to make--so Eilert read to me. (HEDDA: Well? Tell me then--) (Sitting on a footstool near the stove.) Oh, Hedda, you can't conceive what a book that is going to be! I believe it is one of the most remarkable things that have ever been written. Fancy that! (HEDDA: Yes yes; I don't care about that--) I must make a confession to you, Hedda. When he had finished reading--a horrid feeling came over me.
