Merci, Mr. Alving--oh, of course I may say Oswald now, but that is not the way I thought it would become allowable. (Mrs. Alving: Regina, I have not been open with you--) No, I can't say you have! If I had known Oswald was ill-- And now that there can never be anything serious between us--. No, I really can't stay here in the country and wear myself out looking after invalids. (Oswald: Not even for the sake of one who has so near a claim on you?) No, indeed I can't. A poor girl must make some use of her youth, otherwise she may easily land herself out in the cold before she knows where she is. And I have got the joy of life in me too, Mrs. Alving!
