From There Are Crimes and Crimes by August Strindberg

Wait a moment! We have now reached the place for which my thoughts have been heading all the time, though I resisted as long as possible. It's queer that what lies next to one is seen last of all, and what one doesn't WANT to believe cannot be believed--Tell me something: where did you go yesterday morning, after we parted in the Bois? (HENRIETTE: Why?) You went either to Adolphe--which you couldn't do, as he was attending a lesson--or you went to--Marion! (HENRIETTE: Now I am convinced that you are the murderer.) And I, that you are the murderess! You alone had an interest in getting the child out of the way--to get rid of the rock on the road, as you so aptly put it.
