MRS. ALVING. And then; day after day, I dwelt on the one thought that by
rights Regina should be at home in this house--just like my own boy.
OSWALD. [Turning round quickly.] Regina--!
REGINA. [Springs up and asks, with bated breath.] I--?
MRS. ALVING. Yes, now you know it, both of you.
OSWALD. Regina!
REGINA. [To herself.] So mother was that kind of woman.
MRS. ALVING. Your mother had many good qualities, Regina.
REGINA. Yes, but she was one of that sort, all the same. Oh, I've often
suspected it; but--And now, if you please, ma'am, may I be allowed to go
away at once?
MRS. ALVING. Do you really wish it, Regina?
REGINA. Yes, indeed I do.
