Yes, dying. Will you come and be with me to the end? Attach yourself wholly to me? Be to me, as though you were my own child——?
Mrs. Borkman.
[Interrupting.] And forsake your mother, and perhaps your mission in life as well? Will you, Erhart?
Ella Rentheim.
I am condemned to death. Answer me, Erhart.
Erhart.
[Warmly, with emotion.] Aunt Ella, you have been unspeakably good to me. With you I grew up in as perfect happiness as any boy can ever have known——
Mrs. Borkman.
Erhart, Erhart!
Ella Rentheim.
