[Clenching her hands together; to Mrs. Wilton.] Oh, how you have cajoled and deluded my unhappy son!
Mrs. Wilton.
[Raising her head proudly.] I have done nothing of the sort.
Mrs. Borkman.
You have not, you say!
Mrs. Wilton.
No. I have neither cajoled nor deluded him. Erhart came to me of his own free will. And of my own free will I went out half-way to meet him.
Mrs. Borkman.
[Measuring her scornfully with her eye.] Yes, indeed! That I can easily believe.
Mrs. Wilton.
