Happy?

Foldal.

Well, I don’t exactly know what to call it. But I think happy is the nearest word. For something so wonderful has happened! And that is why I couldn’t help—I had to come out and share my happiness with you, John Gabriel.

Borkman.

[Harshly.] Well, share away then!

Ella Rentheim.

Oh, but first take your friend indoors with you, Borkman.

Borkman.

[Sternly.] I have told you I will not go into the house.

Ella Rentheim.
