From Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen

Vine-leaves? No, I saw nothing of the sort. But he made a long, rambling speech in honour of the woman who had inspired him in his work--that was the phrase he used. (HEDDA: Did he name her?) No, he didn't; but I can't help thinking he meant Mrs. Elvsted. You may be sure he did. (HEDDA: Well--where did you part from him?) On the way to town. We broke up--the last of us at any rate--all together; and Brack came with us to get a breath of fresh air. And then, you see, we agreed to take Eilert home; for he had had far more than was good for him.
