From Ghosts: A Domestic Tragedy in Three Acts by Henrik Ibsen

male · sarcastic · 55 sec

I'll swear I never used such an ugly word. (Regina: Oh, it doesn't matter what word you used.) Besides, that was only when I was a bit fuddled...hm! Temptations are manifold in this world, Regina. (Regina: Ugh!) And it was when your mother was in a nasty temper. I had to find some way of getting my knife into her, my girl. She was always so precious gentile. (Mimicking her.) "Let go, Jacob! Let me be! Please to remember that I was three years with the Alvings at Rosenvold, and they were people who went to Court!" (Laughs.) Bless my soul, she never could forget that Captain Alving got a Court appointment while she was in service here.
