Thea said that what I had done seemed to her like a child-murder. (HEDDA: Yes, so she said.) But to kill his child--that is not the worst thing a father can do to it. (HEDDA: Not the worst?) Suppose now, Hedda, that a man--in the small hours of the morning--came home to his child's mother after a night of riot and debauchery, and said: "Listen--I have been here and there--in this place and in that. And I have taken our child with--to this place and to that. And I have lost the child--utterly lost it. The devil knows into what hands it may have fallen--who may have had their clutches on it."
