Mother!

Mrs. Alving.

Do you think we don’t know how to live here at home?

Oswald.

Isn’t she splendid to look at? How beautifully she’s built! And so thoroughly healthy!

Mrs. Alving.

[Sits by the table.] Sit down, Oswald; let us talk quietly together.

Oswald.

[Sits.] I daresay you don’t know, mother, that I owe Regina some reparation.

Mrs. Alving.
