From The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

Ah, dear friend! Do you think I haven't offered her that, too? I suggested moving out to Skjoldviken, but she will not. (Arnholm: Not that either?) No, for she doesn't think it would be any good; and perhaps she's right. (Arnholm: Hm. Do you say that?) Moreover, when I think it all over carefully, I really don't know how I could manage it. I don't think I should be justified, for the sake of the girls, in going away to such a desolate place. After all, they must live where there is at least a prospect of their being provided for someday.
