From The Master Builder by Henrik Ibsen

You are right there. Everything favoured you. But then how can you have the heart to let me go to my grave--without having seen what Ragnar is fit for? And of course I am anxious to see them married, too--before I go. (SOLNESS: Is it she who wishes it?) Not Kaia so much as Ragnar--he talks about it every day. (Appealingly.) You must help him to get some independent work now! I must see something that the lad has done. Do you hear?
