Yes. You have left me no other.
Werle.
Is it I, then, that have crippled your mind, Gregers?
Gregers.
You have crippled my whole life. I am not thinking of all that about mother—— But it’s thanks to you that I am continually haunted and harassed by a guilty conscience.
Werle.
Indeed! It is your conscience that troubles you, is it?
Gregers.
I ought to have taken a stand against you when the trap was set for Lieutenant Ekdal. I ought to have cautioned him; for I had a misgiving as to what was in the wind.
Werle.
