Lise. Do you think then that you’re doing her a wrong if you leave her for an hour or two?
Daughter. I don’t think that she would miss me, because when I am at home she’s- always got some fault to find with me. But I should find it painful if I went to a house when she wasn’t allowed to come too.
Lise. Do you mean to say you’ve thought of the possibility of her visiting us?
Daughter. No—God forgive me, I never thought of it for a moment.
Lise. But supposing you were to get married?
Daughter. I shall never get married.
Lise. Has your mother taught you to say that as well?
Daughter. Yes, probably. She has always warned me of men.
Lise. Of married men as well?
Daughter. Presumably.
