defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.         REGINA. No thank you, sir.       

         MANDERS. [Noticing her for the first time.] What—? You here? And with a glass in your hand!       

         REGINA. [Hastily putting the glass down.] Pardon!       

         OSWALD. Regina is going with me, Mr. Manders.       

         MANDERS. Going! With you!       

         OSWALD. Yes; as my wife—if she wishes it.       

         MANDERS. But, merciful God—!       

         REGINA. I can't help it, sir.       

         OSWALD. Or she'll stay here, if I stay.       

         REGINA. [Involuntarily.] Here!       

         MANDERS. I am thunderstruck at your conduct, Mrs. Alving.

         MANDERS. You surely will not do that! No, no, no!       

         MRS. ALVING. Yes, I can speak and I will. And no ideals shall suffer after all.       

         OSWALD. Mother—what is it you are hiding from me?
