From The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen

No, I certainly did not (shakes his arm). My dear, Hjalmar, I can’t tell you how happy all this makes me--and how it pains me. Perhaps, after all, I have wronged father--in certain things. For this shews he has a heart, you see. It shews a kind of conscience. (HJALMAR: Conscience!) Yes, yes, or whatever you like to call it. No, I have no words to tell you how glad I am to hear this of father. And so you are married, Hjalmar. That’s more than I shall ever manage. Well, I hope you are happy in your marriage?
