From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

male · contemplative · 42 sec

Yes, for I've a benefactor and friend at Bergen, who looks after me, and has promised to help me next year. (Ellida: How did you get such a friend?) Well, it all happened so very luckily. I once went to sea in one of his ships. (Ellida: Did you? So you wanted to go to sea?) No, not at all. But when mother died, father wouldn't have me knocking about at home any longer, and so he sent me to sea. Then we were wrecked in the English Channel on our way home; and that was very fortunate for me.
