Wangel Monologue from The Lady from the Sea

From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

That--oh! that's something she must have persuaded and dreamed herself into since it happened. She was not seized with this so suddenly--all at once--as she now maintains. But since she heard from young Lyngstrand that Johnston--or Friman, or whatever his name is--was on his way hither, three years ago, in the month of March, she now evidently believes her unrest of mind came upon her at that very time. (Arnholm: It was not so, then?) By no means. There were signs and symptoms of it before this time, though it did happen, by chance, that in that month of March, three years ago, she had a rather severe attack. (Arnholm: After all, then--?) Yes, but that is easily accounted for by the circumstances--the condition she happened to be in at the time.
