Mrs. Alving.

They had taught me a great deal about duties and so forth, which I went on obstinately believing in. Everything was marked out into duties—into my duties, and his duties, and—I am afraid I made his home intolerable for your poor father, Oswald.

Oswald.

Why have you never spoken of this in writing to me?

Mrs. Alving.

I have never before seen it in such a light that I could speak of it to you, his son.

Oswald.

In what light did you see it, then?

Mrs. Alving.
