Mrs. Alving.

Not when you are with me?

Oswald.

Not when I’m at home. But you don’t understand that.

Mrs. Alving.

Yes, yes; I think I almost understand it—now.

Oswald.

And then, too, the joy of work! At bottom, it’s the same thing. But that, too, you know nothing about.

Mrs. Alving.

Perhaps you are right. Tell me more about it, Oswald.
