Rosmer Monologue from Rosmersholm

From Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen

Now I understand you, Kroll. (Kroll: And if you do? What answer have you to make?) To such an unheard-of--? The only fitting answer would be to point to the door. (Kroll: Very good.) Listen to me. For considerably more than a year to be precise, since Beata's death--Rebecca West and I have lived here alone at Rosmersholm. All that time you have known of the charge Beata made against us; but I have never for one moment seen you appear the least scandalised at our living together here.
