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

He has so many things on his mind, poor fellow--so many anxieties. Heaven be thanked, I am told he is really making an effort to live a blameless life. (Mrs. Alving: Really? Who told you so?) He assured me himself that it is so. He's good workman, too. (Mrs. Alving: Oh, yes, when he is sober.) Ah, that sad weakness of his! But the pain in his poor leg often drives him to it, he tells me. The last time he was in town, I was really quite touched by him. He came to my house and thanked me so gratefully for getting him work here, where he could have the chance of being with Regina.
