TermDefinition
Opening What is it you want? The rain is dripping off of you.
God's good rain my girl The devil's own rain that's what it is.
Lord how you talk Regina. What I wanted to tell you was this- Don't clump about like that, stupid! The young master is lying asleep upstairs.
Asleep still? In the middle of the day? Well, it's no business of yours.
I was out on a spree last night- I don't doubt it.
and the temptation of the world are manifold, you know- but, for all that, here I was at my work at half-past five this morning yes yes but make yourself scarce now
Not before we've 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 tonights boat Pleasant journey to you
Thanks, my girl...And no one shall say of Jacob Engstrand that he can't hold off when temptation comes his way Ha!
Yes, because there will be a lot of folk here tomorrow. Parson Manders is expected from town too. What's more, he's coming today.
There you are! And I'm going to be precious careful he doesn't have anything to say against me, do you see? Oh, that's your game, is it?
What do you mean? What is it you want to humbug Mr. Manders out of this time?
Are you crazy?..But what I wanted to talk to you about, was my going back home tonight. The sooner you go the better
Yes, only I want to take you with me, Regina What did you say?
I want to take you home with me I said You will never get me home with you
Ah, we shall see about that Yes you can be quite certain we shall see about that. I, who've been brought up by a lady like Mrs. Alving? I who have been treated almost as if I were her own child? Do you suppose I am going home with..you? Not likely.
Are you setting yourself up against your father, you hussy? You have often told me I was none of yours. Haven't you many time abused me and called me a-
I swear I never used such a an ugly word. Besides, that was only when I was a bit fuddled. Ugh!
And it was when your mother was in a nasty temper...She could never forget that Captain Alving got a court appointment while she was in service here. Poor mother. you worried her into her grave. and what was it you wanted me to come to town for?
What I wanted to say was that I have put by a tidy penny out of what I have made by working at this new orphanage up here Have you
What is there for a man to spend his money on out here in the country Well, what then?
Well, you see, I thought of putting the money into something that would pay. I thought some kind of eating-house for seafaring fold- And what should I-?
You would help there. You wouldn't find it hard work...you are to look after the children in the new home I hear No, if things were to go as I want them to then-. Well it may happen, who knows?
What may happen? Never you mind. Is it much that you have put by up here?
It's enough to make a start with, my girl. But it's far better to have a father's guiding hand, Regina. I have no intention of living with you! So now, be off!
It wouldn't be very long before some first mate came along- or perhaps a captain, I don't mean to marry a man of that sort.
Well, don't bother about marrying them. You can make it pay just as well Get out! and don't bang the doors. Young Mr. Alving-
Is asleep- I know. It's funny how anxious you are about young Mr. Alving. Oho! Is it possible that it is he that-? Get out and be quick about it! Mr. Manders is just coming along.
Good morning Miss Engstrand. Oh, Mr. Manders. Good morning
It is most tiresome the rain these days. Oh let me help you.
Well, is everything going on well here? Yes, thanks.
And Mrs. Alving is at home, I hope? Yes, she is.
I heard down at the pier that Oswald had come back. Yes, he came the day before yesterday
Strong and well I hope? Yes, thank you, well enough. He came straight from Paris without a stop.
Now tell me, Regina my dear, how has your father been getting on here? he is getting on pretty well.
He came to see me the last time he was in town Did he?
And I suppose you have seen him pretty regularly? Oh, yes, I do-whenever I have time, that is to say.
Your father has not a very strong character, Miss Engstrand. He needs someone with him that he can cling to, someone whose judgement he can rely on. Yes he said something of the same sort to me. But I don't know whether Mrs. Alving could do without me- most of all now- when we have the new orphanage to see about. And I should be dreadfully unwilling to leave Mrs. Alving.
But a daughters duty, my good child- Naturally we should have to get your mistress' consent first. Perhaps you will be so kind as to let Mrs. Alving know I am here? I will fetch her at once Mr. Manders.
