1.1 ::- :=Nojd: you see, and Ludwig was saying -- 1.2 ::- :=Captain: an official and confidential matter -- 1.2 ::- :=Captain: forty-three -- seven, eight, fifty-six -- 1.2 ::- :=Laura: Would you mind -- 1.3 ::- :=Doctor: is pretty healthy on the whole, so -- 1.4 ::- :=Bertha: be tiresome again. Why can't you two -- 1.4 ::- :=Captain: Stop this, or -- 1.4 ::- :=Laura: born? We'd been married three years -- 1.4 ::- :=Laura: was my child and not yours. Suppose -- 1.4 ::- :=Nurse: Captain, only listen -- 1.4 ::- :=Nurse: that with me -- or with anyone else -- 1.4 ::- :=Nurse: the child? Think how a mother feels -- 2.1 ::- :=Nurse: gaping tomb: "All must perish, all is vain!" Yes indeed -- 2.2 ::- :=Doctor: Well -- 2.2 ::- :=Doctor: Hm -- well -- 3.1 ::- :=Doctor: Captain -- 3.1 ::- :=Doctor: You're to put this jacket on him -- 3.1 ::- :=Pastor: My firm convictions about higher things -- 2.2 ::100 :=Captain: when their pressure-gauge reaches 100, but that hundred mark varies with different 3.1 ::215 :=Captain: it is in the Odyssey -- Book I, line 215; page 6 in the Uppsala translation. Telemachus 3.1 ::6 :=Captain: the Odyssey -- Book I, line 215; page 6 in the Uppsala translation. Telemachus 1.1 ::A :=Captain: No, a mother-in-law -- in someone else's house 1.1 ::A :=Captain: I want her to be a teacher. Then, if she doesn't marry, she 1.1 ::A :=Captain: You'd better make a clean breast of it -- otherwise, you know 1.1 ::A :=Captain: She was brought up with a lot of romantic ideas, so she finds it 1.1 ::A :=Captain: My mother-in-law wants to make a spiritualist of her; Laura wants her to 1.1 ::A :=Captain: Then, this summer, along comes a young whippersnapper who knows better, 1.1 ::A :=Captain: for some career more suited to a man, when it would all be wasted if she 1.1 ::A :=Captain: the governess wants to make her a Methodist; old Margret, a Baptist; and 1.1 ::A :=Captain: of myself. But I will not become a pander for my own daughter, and bring her 1.1 ::A :=Captain: they'd tear me to pieces in half a minute. And you laugh, you wretch! As if 1.1 ::A :=Captain: with the maid again. The fellow's a thoroughly bad lot. 1.1 ::A :=Captain: go ahead in the ordinary way; it's a matter for your professional conscience. 1.1 ::A :=Captain: me as if I still wore a bib. She's a dear old soul, heaven knows, but she oughtn't 1.1 ::A :=Captain: I wish you'd be kind enough to have a little talk to him. You might do him some 1.1 ::A :=Captain: Not at all! I showed her efforts to a well-known artist, and he said they were 1.1 ::A :=Captain: know, she sometimes flies into such a rage that I'm really afraid she might be 1.1 ::A :=Captain: I want to make her into some sort of a prodigy -- nor even just another edition 1.1 ::A :=Captain: It's no earthly good trying to mould a character like a piece of patchwork -- 1.1 ::A :=Captain: here, treating me as if I still wore a bib. She's a dear old soul, heaven knows, 1.1 ::A :=Captain: good trying to mould a character like a piece of patchwork -- especially when I, 1.1 ::A :=Captain: schoolmasters who have to provide for a family on their pay. And if she does marry, 1.1 ::A :=Captain: to make her a Methodist; old Margret, a Baptist; and the maids, a Salvation Army 1.1 ::A :=Captain: whole day long in this house, without a break. Oh, must you go? Do stay for supper 1.1 ::A :=Captain: don't want to persuade her into taking a long course of training for some career 1.1 ::A :=Captain: old Margret, a Baptist; and the maids, a Salvation Army lass. It's no earthly good 1.1 ::A :=Captain: I have, haven't I? It's like going into a cage full of tigers; if I didn't keep my 1.1 ::A :=Nojd: No. That's a thing you can never know for certain. 1.1 ::A :=Nojd: Well yes, sir, in a way it was. I always say nothing ever comes 1.1 ::A :=Nojd: That time, yes. But how's a man to be sure he's always been the only 1.1 ::A :=Nojd: then, it was like this. We were having a dance at Gabriel's, you see, and Ludwig 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: I caught a glimpse of him, on my way. He seemed a 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: Nojd, just a minute. Er -- don't you think it's rather 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: But, good heavens, a man can't have a stepmother living in his 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: she used to lie on the floor like a corpse till she got her own way, then if 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: But, good heavens, a man can't have a stepmother living in his house. 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: she's my own sister, she was always a bit tiresome. 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: you that that sort of behaviour's . . . well . . . a bit . . . 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: you're in for trouble. When she was a child she used to lie on the floor like 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: d'you think God's word would have on a trooper? 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: for painting that it would be almost a crime not to encourage it? 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: look after yourself, Adolf, you seem a bit on edge. 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: the other hand, hasn't she shown such a gift for painting that it would be almost 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: a glimpse of him, on my way. He seemed a decent, reliable sort of chap. 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: don't just mean to leave the girl with a child. I suppose you can't be forced to 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: leave a girl penniless like that, with a baby? Don't you think so? Well? Doesn't 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: nurse it. Afterwards, the girl can get a good place with some respectable family, 1.1 ::A :=Pastor: think it's rather disgraceful to leave a girl penniless like that, with a baby? 1.2 ::A :=Captain: Just a moment -- sixty-six, seventy-one -- eighty-four, 1.2 ::A :=Captain: a -- what shall I call him -- such a ne'er-do-well? 1.2 ::A :=Captain: his grandmother ever since she was a baby. That's why I took him in -- because 1.2 ::A :=Captain: governess wanted him because he was a Pietist; and old Margret, because she'd 1.2 ::A :=Captain: is to live in town; she'll leave in a fortnight's time. 1.2 ::A :=Captain: man? You. Why do you recommend such a -- what shall I call him -- such a ne' 1.2 ::A :=Captain: her to live at home. Mathematically, a compromise would mean that she stayed at 1.2 ::A :=Captain: eighty-four, eighty-nine, ninety-two, a hundred. What is it? 1.2 ::A :=Captain: you must keep accounts. Things are in a bad way with us, and if I should go bankrupt, 1.2 ::A :=Laura: Why did you take in such a ne'er-do-well? 1.2 ::A :=Laura: It's not my fault if things are in a bad way. 1.2 ::A :=Laura: extraordinary! You can't be sure who a child's father is? 1.2 ::A :=Laura: that the father has such rights over a woman's children? 1.2 ::A :=Laura: if the father and the mother agree on a compromise . . . 1.3 ::A :=Captain: Good heavens, no -- through a spectroscope. 1.3 ::A :=Captain: analysis, and I've found coal -- a sign of life! What do you say to that? 1.3 ::A :=Captain: I expect that my wife has told you a little about us, so you'll have some ideas 1.3 ::A :=Captain: If you'd care to stay here, there's a little flat in the annexe, or would you 1.3 ::A :=Captain: I really believe I'm on the verge of a discovery. 1.3 ::A :=Captain: no wishes in the matter. Are you such a weakling that you don't know your own mind? 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: A spectroscope. Oh, of course. So you'll 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: Through a microscope? 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: And can you see that through a microscope? 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: Well, there's nothing very odd in a scholar buying books. 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: and they've always seemed to show a particularly fine and orderly mind. 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: Captain, I'm delighted to meet such a distinguished man of science. 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: me one or two hints about things that a stranger ought to know. Good night, Ca 1.3 ::A :=Doctor: that you should confide in me, but as a doctor, I must examine and investigate 1.3 ::A :=Laura: A microscope, yes. 1.3 ::A :=Laura: Yes, there's a lot of illness about just now, but I'm 1.3 ::A :=Laura: Then is it reasonable for a man to see through a microscope what's 1.3 ::A :=Laura: district, it means so much to have a doctor who takes an interest in his patients; 1.3 ::A :=Laura: years now, and he's never yet made a decision without changing his mind aft 1.3 ::A :=Laura: wants me for something. I shan't be a moment -- Ah, here is Adolf. 1.3 ::A :=Laura: manage. For people like us, living in a lonely country district, it means so much 1.3 ::A :=Laura: family's welfare. For instance, he has a mania for buying all sorts of things. 1.3 ::A :=Laura: it reasonable for a man to see through a microscope what's happening on another 1.4 ::A :=Bertha: It was my fault, though; I played a trick on her. 1.4 ::A :=Bertha: in there all the time -- just like a winter night; but when you come, Papa, 1.4 ::A :=Bertha: I have to sit at the table and hold a pen over a sheet of paper. And then she 1.4 ::A :=Bertha: sit at the table and hold a pen over a sheet of paper. And then she commands the 1.4 ::A :=Bertha: to Mama, you know. She does cry such a lot. 1.4 ::A :=Captain: Is this a joke? 1.4 ::A :=Captain: Think how a father feels, Margret. 1.4 ::A :=Captain: Do you think a father would let ignorant and conceited 1.4 ::A :=Captain: I can believe a lot about you, but not that. Nor do I believe 1.4 ::A :=Captain: Yes, she's to leave in a fortnight's time. 1.4 ::A :=Captain: You talk very proudly for a humble heart! I know how little learning 1.4 ::A :=Captain: to treat a grown man as if he were a child? 1.4 ::A :=Captain: women teach his daughter that he is a charlatan? 1.4 ::A :=Captain: forgotten it, dear? You've been like a mother to me. Up to now, you've always 1.4 ::A :=Captain: you desert me now, you'd be doing me a great wrong. You see they're plotting against 1.4 ::A :=Captain: been something more in the world than a poor soldier, if I hadn't had her and her 1.4 ::A :=Captain: explain how you women manage to treat a grown man as if he were a child? 1.4 ::A :=Captain: have any considered opinion about how a young girl's life may develop. We, on the 1.4 ::A :=Captain: one I can listen to without getting in a rage. 1.4 ::A :=Laura: Because a mother's nearer to the child -- since it's 1.4 ::A :=Laura: It's less important to a father. 1.4 ::A :=Laura: Can't I? Do you really think that a mother is going to send her child among 1.4 ::A :=Laura: no one can tell for certain who is a child's father. 1.4 ::A :=Laura: but I've never been able to look at a man without feeling that I'm his super 1.4 ::A :=Laura: Then why get involved in fights with a superior enemy? 1.4 ::A :=Nurse: Lord, what a baby you are! Of course you're the father 1.4 ::A :=Nurse: Now, now, now! A father has other things to think of, but 1.4 ::A :=Nurse: Mr Adolf, how can you say such a thing? Do you think I can forget how you 1.4 ::A :=Nurse: has other things to think of, but a mother has only her child. 1.4 ::A :=Nurse: he'll come back to her again, like a good little child. 1.4 ::A :=Nurse: this bother over the child? Think how a mother feels -- 2.1 ::A :=Bertha: Yes, it was such a sad song, the saddest song I've ever heard. 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: Yes, yes, yes, a case like this is deep-rooted, and what 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: One never does that with a mental patient, unless he brings up the 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: Now that I find that it was a spectroscope, he's not only cleared of 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: an accusation that could lead to a man being certified. 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: other heavenly bodies by means of a microscope. Now that I find that it was 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: disorder, but he has actually made a great contribution to science. 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: considered the consequences of such a step. If he were to discover that you've 2.1 ::A :=Doctor: the case. In the first place, you made a mistake when you said he arrived at his 2.1 ::A :=Laura: one of the men on some question of a maintenance order, and when I took the 2.1 ::A :=Laura: one could tell who was the father of a child. Heaven knows I did all I could to 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: Yes, yes . . . "A pitiful and wretched thing Is life, 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: You're talking like a child! Of course I'm sure, seeing he was 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: Oh dear, oh dear! And such a fearful night too, I'm sure the chimneys'll 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: No I don't think so -- just a cold. 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: there." Yes, dear child, God send us a happy Christmas. 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: did I say? You mark my words, there's a curse on this house. What did you hear, 2.2 ::A :=Captain: You are a widower? And you've had children? 2.2 ::A :=Captain: Therefore a child's likeness to the father means n 2.2 ::A :=Captain: Didn't being a father sometimes make you feel ridiculous? 2.2 ::A :=Captain: On trust when it concerns a woman? That's dangerous! 2.2 ::A :=Captain: Didn't you ever realize what a false position you were in? Weren't you 2.2 ::A :=Captain: I thought Margret said it was a cold. There seems to be quite a difference 2.2 ::A :=Captain: with doubts . . . I won't say suspicions, for, as a gentleman, I assume 2.2 ::A :=Captain: foals if you cross a zebra with a mare? 2.2 ::A :=Captain: Now for the other -- and that was a real summer swallow. I was at Lysenkil. 2.2 ::A :=Captain: So that, under certain conditions, a stallion can sire striped foals -- and 2.2 ::A :=Captain: my suspicions. I was once on board a steamer, sitting with some friends in the 2.2 ::A :=Captain: of nothing more absurd than seeing a father lead his child through the street, 2.2 ::A :=Captain: you get striped foals if you cross a zebra with a mare? 2.2 ::A :=Captain: be striped, even if the next sire is a stallion? 2.2 ::A :=Captain: but her husband was in town. She was a woman of the strictest principles, and 2.2 ::A :=Captain: child through the street, or hearing a father talk about "my children". He ought 2.2 ::A :=Captain: love can be, from a married woman to a strange man who has never made any advances 2.2 ::A :=Captain: But since I have the misfortune to be a man, I can only do like the Romans, and 2.2 ::A :=Captain: as an indication of love can be, from a married woman to a strange man who has 2.2 ::A :=Captain: swallow. I was at Lysenkil. There was a young married woman staying there with 2.2 ::A :=Captain: you're here to watch me. If I weren't a man, I should have the right to make accusations 2.2 ::A :=Captain: I came across a visiting card, bearing a pretty obvious hint. Oh, it was perfectly 2.2 ::A :=Captain: it was a cold. There seems to be quite a difference of opinion about the case. Go 2.2 ::A :=Captain: one of those very books, I came across a visiting card, bearing a pretty obvious 2.2 ::A :=Doctor: No, as a matter of fact, I never was. And anyhow, 2.2 ::A :=Doctor: One swallow doesn't make a summer. 2.2 ::A :=Doctor: Oh, nothing serious -- only a slight sprain in the left ankle. 2.2 ::A :=Doctor: Captain, wasn't it Goethe who said "A man must take his children on trust"? 2.2 ::A :=Doctor: husband, I thought to myself "what a confounded shame the fellow's dead". 2.2 ::A :=Doctor: ill, it wouldn't stain your honour as a man to tell me the whole story. In fact 2.3 ::A :=Captain: Ah, I see you have a high opinion of me, as they say. From these 2.3 ::A :=Captain: No, I am not. There's a crime lying buried here that's beginning 2.3 ::A :=Captain: Are you sure? Do you think a man can live when there's nothing and no 2.3 ::A :=Captain: Yes, I'm crying, although I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man 2.3 ::A :=Captain: For me, since I don't believe in a life to come, my child was my after-life. 2.3 ::A :=Captain: by the same winter and summer as a woman. If you prick us, do we not bleed; 2.3 ::A :=Captain: us, do we not die? Why shouldn't a man complain, or a soldier cry? Because 2.3 ::A :=Captain: I can carry out both my duties as a soldier and my obligations as a father; 2.3 ::A :=Captain: now and I can no longer live, for a man cannot live without honour. 2.3 ::A :=Captain: and whoever it was who woke us was a sleepwalker himself. When women grow old 2.3 ::A :=Captain: as a soldier and my obligations as a father; I have my emotions pretty well 2.3 ::A :=Captain: most childish remark as if it were a flash of genius; you could have led me 2.3 ::A :=Captain: you forget that I'm a grown man -- a soldier whose word of command both men 2.3 ::A :=Captain: Once, when the fever had abated for a while, I heard voices outside in the drawing-room. 2.3 ::A :=Captain: any more. I'd had my suspicions for a long time, but I dared not hear them confirmed. 2.3 ::A :=Captain: crying, although I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man hands, organs, 2.3 ::A :=Captain: my mother? Won't you forget that I'm a grown man -- a soldier whose word of command 2.3 ::A :=Captain: us together, but the bond has become a chain. How has that happened? I've never 2.3 ::A :=Captain: your answer. I recovered, and we had a child. Who is the father? 2.3 ::A :=Captain: Don't you see that I'm as helpless as a child? Can't you hear that I'm calling 2.3 ::A :=Captain: die? Why shouldn't a man complain, or a soldier cry? Because it's unmanly. What 2.3 ::A :=Captain: grey, and all so that you could enjoy a carefree life, and when you grew old, live 2.3 ::A :=Captain: sake of the past -- I implore you, as a wounded man begs for the death-blow -- 2.3 ::A :=Captain: that's beginning to stink -- and what a hellish crime it is! You women pity black 2.3 ::A :=Captain: wanted to win you as a woman by being a man. 2.3 ::A :=Captain: I shall never divulge it. Do you think a man would go and trumpet his own shame 2.3 ::A :=Captain: I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man hands, organs, dimensions, senses, 2.3 ::A :=Captain: So I grew used to looking up to you as a superior, gifted being, listening to you 2.3 ::A :=Captain: and then the whole works will whirr to a standstill. I shall not appeal to your 2.3 ::A :=Captain: command both men and beasts obey? I am a sick man, all I ask is pity; I surrender 2.3 ::A :=Captain: former friends against me by spreading a rumour about my sanity. What's more, your 2.3 ::A :=Captain: hear, but only obey; you could give me a raw potato and convince me that it was 2.3 ::A :=Captain: in the good old days. It had only been a little morning nap, with bad dreams, and 2.3 ::A :=Captain: is that, when you've already said that a mother can and should commit any crime 2.3 ::A :=Captain: my unmanliness, I wanted to win you as a woman by being a man. 2.3 ::A :=Captain: never wanted me, so I was born without a will. When you and I became one I thought 2.3 ::A :=Captain: raw potato and convince me that it was a peach; you could compel me to admire your 2.3 ::A :=Laura: But a woman? 2.3 ::A :=Laura: Is this a trap? 2.3 ::A :=Laura: What's this? A man, and crying? 2.3 ::A :=Laura: You should have been a poet, you know. 2.3 ::A :=Laura: I can hardly plead guilty to a crime that I've not committed. 2.3 ::A :=Laura: Yes, sometimes -- when you act like a man. 2.3 ::A :=Laura: your enemy. Love between the sexes is a battle. And don't imagine that I gave myself 2.3 ::A :=Laura: I first came into your life, it was as a second mother. Your great strong body had 3.1 ::A :=Captain: Are you croaking for a corpse already, you old crow? Nojd! Is 3.1 ::A :=Captain: You can't get the better of a woman, eh? 3.1 ::A :=Captain: I won't let you. You see, I'm a cannibal, and I want to eat you. Your mother 3.1 ::A :=Captain: get to such a pitch that a man -- a man who has loved and worshipped a woman 3.1 ::A :=Captain: tree; and then someone comes with a knife and cuts them down below the graft, 3.1 ::A :=Captain: I answered. When things get to such a pitch that a man -- a man who has loved 3.1 ::A :=Captain: at me, Doctor . . . no, straight in the face -- he's a major of Dragoons. Bless 3.1 ::A :=Captain: was your marriage bed? Wasn't there a young subaltern in your house, eh? Let 3.1 ::A :=Captain: wish to speak to you -- you're just a telephone, relaying all their chatter in 3.1 ::A :=Captain: When things get to such a pitch that a man -- a man who has loved and worshipped 3.1 ::A :=Captain: the graft, so that now I'm only half a tree; but the other half goes on growing, 3.1 ::A :=Captain: used to have a tutor in the house -- a good- looking fellow that people used to 3.1 ::A :=Captain: worshipped a woman -- goes and takes a lighted lamp and flings it in her face 3.1 ::A :=Captain: -- a man who has loved and worshipped a woman -- goes and takes a lighted lamp 3.1 ::A :=Captain: Why not let me kill the child? Life's a hell, and death is the Kingdom of Heaven; 3.1 ::A :=Captain: by the bullet wound in his chest from a duel. On his death-bed he swore that she 3.1 ::A :=Captain: children? I remember you used to have a tutor in the house -- a good- looking fellow 3.1 ::A :=Captain: -- you must be. Anything else was just a morbid idea brought on the wind, like pestilence 3.1 ::A :=Captain: I could work on your crowned heads for a little, I'd soon have you shut up, too. 3.1 ::A :=Captain: Yes, that's how it is! But I know that a man's belief can destroy him -- that's 3.1 ::A :=Captain: grow together and knit themselves into a more perfect tree; and then someone comes 3.1 ::A :=Captain: whom Telemachus was suspecting. That's a fine thing, eh? And then we have the prophet 3.1 ::A :=Doctor: on the patient after I've had a word with him, and when I give the order, 3.1 ::A :=Doctor: husband is liable to imprisonment and a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have 3.1 ::A :=Laura: In the meanwhile, I've sent a message to the Colonel, and now I'm trying 3.1 ::A :=Laura: You talk so much, you must have a guilty conscience. Accuse me, if you c 3.1 ::A :=Laura: Mine? How could I be to blame if a man goes out his mind? 3.1 ::A :=Laura: the doctor's sent to the hospital for a strait-jacket. In the meanwhile, I've sent 3.1 ::A :=Laura: father, and it ended with his throwing a lighted lamp in my face. 3.1 ::A :=Nojd: There's a note from the Colonel. 3.1 ::A :=Nojd: Of course I can, but it's a different thing when it comes to laying 3.1 ::A :=Nojd: honestly I can't. I'd take on half a dozen men -- but not a woman! 3.1 ::A :=Nojd: take on half a dozen men -- but not a woman! 3.1 ::A :=Nurse: and how I came in and had to play a trick on you to get the knife away? You 3.1 ::A :=Nurse: to get up in the night and get you a drink, and how I used to light the candle 3.1 ::A :=Nurse: And then I'd say: "Get up, now, like a good boy, and walk across the room, so 3.1 ::A :=Nurse: have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. And then I'd take your little jacket 3.1 ::A :=Nurse: have to wheedle you and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. 3.1 ::A :=Nurse: on you to get the knife away? You were a silly little boy, and we had to play tricks 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: It's a deplorable business, but I always expected 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: What's that big paper there? A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: strong! You're like a fox in a trap, you'd rather bite off your own leg 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: It's hard to say -- there'll be a scandal either way. 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: -- incredibly strong! You're like a fox in a trap, you'd rather bite off your 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. Laura, tell me: is 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: let yourself be caught. You're like a master-thief -- you have no accomplice, 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: that big paper there? A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: only just got home. Things have taken a serious turn here, then? 3.1 ::A :=Pastor: You know, I've always looked on him as a weed in our garden. 3.2 ::A :=Captain: My child? A man doesn't have children, it's only women 3.2 ::A :=Captain: In the old days, a man married a wife, now he enters into partnership with 3.2 ::A :=Captain: Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child -- " 3.2 ::A :=Captain: -- a mother's or a mistress's, but a mother's is best. 3.2 ::A :=Captain: The god of Strife, then -- or is it a goddess these days? Take away this cat 3.2 ::A :=Captain: marriage, perhaps? In the old days, a man married a wife, now he enters into 3.2 ::A :=Captain: now he enters into partnership with a business-woman, or sets up house with a 3.2 ::A :=Captain: good to sleep on a woman's breast -- a mother's or a mistress's, but a mother's 3.2 ::A :=Captain: on a woman's breast -- a mother's or a mistress's, but a mother's is best. 3.2 ::A :=Captain: business-woman, or sets up house with a friend. Then he debauches the partner, 3.2 ::A :=Captain: does it help me? And who is to blame? A spiritual marriage, perhaps? In the old 3.2 ::A :=Captain: nothing, till it catches fire. Give me a pillow under my head. And put something 3.2 ::A :=Captain: or a sham fight with blank cartridges. A mortal truth would have roused my resistance, 3.2 ::A :=Captain: to grin. It's like hitting the air, or a sham fight with blank cartridges. A mortal 3.2 ::A :=Captain: your breast. Oh, it's good to sleep on a woman's breast -- a mother's or a mistress's, 3.2 ::A :=Doctor: It's a stroke. 3.2 ::A :=Doctor: indictment, even! You believe there's a god who rules man's destiny, you must refer 3.2 ::A :=Laura: am not. You're existence has been like a stone on my heart, weighing and weighing 2.3 ::ABATED :=Captain: death's door. Once, when the fever had abated for a while, I heard voices outside 1.2 ::ABLE :=Captain: and if I should go bankrupt, I must be able to produce accounts, or they could accuse 1.3 ::ABLE :=Doctor: Oh, of course. So you'll soon be able to tell us what's happening on Jupi 1.3 ::ABLE :=Laura: going. Now you know it all; you'll be able to judge for yourself when you see 1.4 ::ABLE :=Laura: Yes. It's odd, but I've never been able to look at a man without feeling that 1.4 ::ABLE :=Nurse: that. But I do think you ought to be able to agree. 2.1 ::ABLE :=Bertha: Then we shan't be able to keep Christmas Eve. But if he's ill, 2.2 ::ABLE :=Captain: called, and perhaps I should be able to give you the full diagnosis and, 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Captain: out of sheer spite. They drop hints about men being made to see that women can 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Nojd: Captain, but I can't very well talk about it, not with the Pastor here. 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Pastor: Look here, my lad, we're talking about you now. Surely you don't just mean 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Pastor: -- well, who am I to judge . . . What were we talking about, when this unfortunate 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Pastor: old man -- Oh, didn't you want to talk about the confirmation? 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Captain: Who was so enthusiastic about the man? You. Why do you recommend 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Captain: marriage, naturally there's no doubt about the paternity. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Laura: -- that the whole kitchen knows about. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: that my wife has told you a little about us, so you'll have some ideas how the 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: that isn't what we were going to talk about; how about you? If you'd care to stay 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: what we were going to talk about; how about you? If you'd care to stay here, there's 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: Tell me more about him. Of course it is possible that 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: wife did give me one or two hints about things that a stranger ought to know. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Laura: Yes, there's a lot of illness about just now, but I'm sure you'll manage. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Laura: and I've heard so many nice things about you, Doctor, that I'm sure we shall 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Bertha: take their revenge if anyone talks about them. And then the pen writes but I 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Captain: I can believe a lot about you, but not that. Nor do I believe 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Captain: can hardly have any considered opinion about how a young girl's life may develop. 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Captain: that. Nor do I believe that you'd talk about it if it were true. 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Captain: It's wonderful how, the moment you talk about God and love, your voice becomes hard, 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Nurse: Oh, Mr Adolf, what is all this about? 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Nurse: Oh, I don't understand anything about that. But I do think you ought to be 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: at his extraordinary conclusions about other heavenly bodies by means of a 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: strikes me as suspicious. He spoke about his correspondence with the booksellers 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: misheard you. One has to be careful about making an accusation that could lead 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: we talked, I'm not entirely convinced about the case. In the first place, you made 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Captain: to be quite a difference of opinion about the case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Captain: the street, or hearing a father talk about "my children". He ought to say "my 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: About Bertha's parentage. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: One word first -- about realities: do you hate me? 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: against me by spreading a rumour about my sanity. What's more, your efforts 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: endured sleepless nights, worrying about your future till my hair has turned 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: and the lawyer, and you were talking about the property that I still owned in 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: who believes me sane. Now, the truth about my illness is this: my reason is unaffected 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Captain: has that happened? I've never thought about that sort of thing before, but now 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Laura: Are there any doubts about that? 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Laura: all this life and death struggle been about except power? 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Bertha: I won't have you saying anything bad about Mama. 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Captain: What's so different about it? Haven't they been laying their 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Captain: fellow that people used to gossip about. 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: Then you have no firm convictions about what would be best for your family. 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Doctor: go to an asylum. What have you to say about the Captain's behaviour? 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Laura: And my mother's not to know anything about all this, do you understand? 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Laura: It began with those absurd ideas of his about not being Bertha's father, and it ended 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Pastor: My firm convictions about higher things -- 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Laura: As for your suspicions about the child, they're quite unfounded 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Laura: may have been one, but I knew nothing about it. I've never considered them, they've 1.4 ::ABOVE :=Laura: before you decide to do anything. Above all, don't make yourself look ridi 2.2 ::ABOVE :=Captain: for, as a gentleman, I assume your wife was above suspicion. 2.3 ::ABROAD :=Captain: man would go and trumpet his own shame abroad. 1.3 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Doctor: heart, and I hope you will rely on me absolutely. But in view of what you've told 2.2 ::ABSURD :=Captain: ridiculous? I know of nothing more absurd than seeing a father lead his child 3.1 ::ABSURD :=Laura: It began with those absurd ideas of his about not being Bertha's 1.3 ::ABUSIVE :=Captain: my orders. I've written and even sent abusive telegrams! It makes me mad -- I can't 3.1 ::ACCEPTED :=Captain: to be sure? Marry first, so as to be accepted by society, then separate directly 3.1 ::ACCOMPLICE :=Pastor: like a master-thief -- you have no accomplice, not even your own conscience. 1.2 ::ACCOUNT :=Laura: Thank you so much! And do you keep an account of what you spend -- apart from the 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Captain: Then the accounts would confirm that. 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Captain: Leave the accounts here, and I'll go over them. 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Captain: Of course you must keep accounts. Things are in a bad way with us, 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Captain: your allowance. You can give me the accounts later. 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Captain: go bankrupt, I must be able to produce accounts, or they could accuse me of neg 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Laura: Accounts? 1.2 ::ACCOUNTS :=Laura: Do I have to keep accounts, now? 3.1 ::ACCOUNTS :=Laura: I'm trying to look into the household accounts, which he's mismanaged so terri 2.1 ::ACCUSATION :=Doctor: One has to be careful about making an accusation that could lead to a man being 2.2 ::ACCUSATIONS :=Captain: a man, I should have the right to make accusations -- or complaints, as they're 1.2 ::ACCUSE :=Captain: to produce accounts, or they could accuse me of negligence. 3.1 ::ACCUSE :=Laura: you must have a guilty conscience. Accuse me, if you can! 2.3 ::ACHIEVEMENT :=Captain: redeem it by some noble action -- some achievement, some discovery, or an honourable 2.3 ::ACKNOWLEDGE :=Laura: as my will, you won't stay and acknowledge it! 1.3 ::ACKNOWLEDGED :=Captain: last two months, not one of them has acknowledged my orders. I've written and 2.2 ::ACROSS :=Captain: in one of those very books, I came across a visiting card, bearing a pretty 3.1 ::ACROSS :=Nurse: up, now, like a good boy, and walk across the room, so that I can see how it 2.3 ::ACT :=Captain: It was certainly no act of kindness, since you knew perfectly 2.3 ::ACT :=Laura: That was an act of kindness on my part; you were neglecting 2.3 ::ACT :=Laura: Yes, sometimes -- when you act like a man. 2.1 ::ACTION :=Doctor: like an avalanche. Moreover by your action you have thwarted his will, and increased 2.3 ::ACTION :=Captain: I wanted to redeem it by some noble action -- some achievement, some discovery, 3.2 ::ACTION :=Captain: and roused my mind and body to action -- but, as things are, my thoughts 3.2 ::ACTIONS :=Laura: my way; if you see some plan behind my actions -- well, there may have been one, 3.1 ::ACTUAL :=Pastor: Whatever caused the actual outbreak, you'll admit that he suffered 2.1 ::ACTUALLY :=Bertha: Well, actually, I heard someone singing up in the 2.1 ::ACTUALLY :=Doctor: of mental disorder, but he has actually made a great contribution to sc 2.1 ::ACTUALLY :=Laura: had much the same trouble, and then he actually admitted, in his own letter to the 1.1 ::ADAPT :=Captain: ideas, so she finds it rather hard to adapt herself. Still, she's my wife . . 2.3 ::ADDRESSED :=Captain: why I've now intercepted some letters addressed to you. 2.3 ::ADMIRE :=Captain: it was a peach; you could compel me to admire your most childish remark as if it 3.1 ::ADMIRE :=Pastor: I really admire you, Laura. 2.3 ::ADMISSION :=Laura: This! Your admission to the doctor that you are insane. 1.4 ::ADMIT :=Captain: I'm sure it wasn't; you wanted me to admit that I'm in the wrong. 2.1 ::ADMIT :=Captain: Did Johansson admit that he was the father? 3.1 ::ADMIT :=Pastor: caused the actual outbreak, you'll admit that he suffered from fixed ideas. 2.1 ::ADMITTED :=Laura: the same trouble, and then he actually admitted, in his own letter to the doctor, 1.1 ::ADOLF :=Pastor: Good night, Adolf -- say good night to Laura for me. 1.1 ::ADOLF :=Pastor: should keep your women-folk in order, Adolf; you let them run things far too m 1.1 ::ADOLF :=Pastor: you. You ought to look after yourself, Adolf, you seem a bit on edge. 1.3 ::ADOLF :=Laura: I shan't be a moment -- Ah, here is Adolf. 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Oh, Mr Adolf, what is all this about? 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Now, Mr Adolf, you believe I want to help, don't 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Now, Master Adolf, just you listen to me. 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Now then, Mr Adolf, you always think the worst of everyone. 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Me? Goodness, Mr Adolf, how can you say such a thing? Do you 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Now, just listen, Mr Adolf -- don't you think you ought to meet 1.4 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Anyway, I'm not as unhappy as you, Mr Adolf. Humble your heart, and you'll see 2.1 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: I was only waiting till -- Mr Adolf. 3.1 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Mr Adolf! What are you doing? 3.1 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Mr Adolf, humble your stubborn heart, and pray 3.1 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: Forgive me, Mr Adolf, forgive me. I had to stop you from 3.1 ::ADOLF :=Nurse: and I'll soon get them again. Now, Mr Adolf, I wonder if you remember when you 3.1 ::ADOLF :=Pastor: Adolf -- mind what you're saying. 3.1 ::ADOLF :=Pastor: Adolf, do you realize that you're not in 3.2 ::ADOLF :=Laura: Adolf -- look at me. Do you believe that 3.2 ::ADOLF :=Laura: Do you want to see your child, Adolf? Do you? 3.1 ::ADOPT :=Captain: become lover and mistress, and then adopt the children. Then we could at least 3.1 ::ADOPTED :=Captain: at least be sure they were our own adopted children, couldn't we? But how can 2.3 ::ADVANCE :=Captain: truth" -- and I will forgive you in advance. 2.3 ::ADVANCE :=Laura: when you said that I was forgiven in advance. 2.2 ::ADVANCES :=Captain: a strange man who has never made any advances to her. So the moral is this: don't 2.3 ::ADVANTAGE :=Captain: You always had the advantage. If I was awake, you could hypnotize 2.3 ::ADVANTAGE :=Captain: question of whether it's more to your advantage that I should be sane or insane. 2.3 ::ADVANTAGE :=Captain: you will get nothing. So it's to your advantage that I should live out my life 2.3 ::ADVANTAGE :=Laura: -- just what I wanted. But you had one advantage -- I realized that, and I wanted 1.1 ::AFFAIR :=Captain: all I can. Besides, it's not really my affair. All right, clear out. 3.2 ::AFFAIR :=Doctor: man's destiny, you must refer this affair to Him. 2.1 ::AFFAIRS :=Doctor: you've been secretly meddling in his affairs, he would have cause for suspicions, 1.3 ::AFFECT :=Doctor: up any topic that is likely to affect the patient strongly. Ideas like that 1.3 ::AFFECTED :=Doctor: is the backbone of the mind; if it is affected, the whole mind collapses. 1.3 ::AFFECTED :=Doctor: course it is possible that his mind is affected in other ways. 2.1 ::AFFECTED :=Doctor: Then think how it must have affected him. 2.3 ::AFFECTIONS :=Captain: man hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, 2.2 ::AFFLICTED :=Captain: position you were in? Weren't you ever afflicted with doubts . . . I won't say suspicions, 1.1 ::AFRAID :=Captain: flies into such a rage that I'm really afraid she might be ill. 1.1 ::AFRAID :=Pastor: Laura won't, eh? You know, I'm afraid you're in for trouble. When she was 1.3 ::AFRAID :=Laura: No, I'm afraid they're not so good as we could w 1.3 ::AFRAID :=Laura: That's what we're afraid of, too. You see, he sometimes has 1.4 ::AFRAID :=Laura: You were afraid to let her speak, because you thought 2.1 ::AFRAID :=Laura: midnight, and he's not back yet. I'm afraid something terrible may have happe 2.1 ::AFRAID :=Laura: own letter to the doctor, that he was afraid his mind was going. 3.1 ::AFRAID :=Captain: shown me your teeth. But don't be afraid, my darling child, I shan't do you 3.1 ::AFRAID :=Laura: Not that there's much to be done, I'm afraid. Do you hear how he's going on up 1.1 ::AFTER :=Captain: it so hard on her if she never married after all. On the other hand, I don't want 1.1 ::AFTER :=Pastor: if it was some special thing she was after, as soon as she'd got it, she used 1.1 ::AFTER :=Pastor: for four months, and then it's looked after for the rest of its life. It isn't 1.1 ::AFTER :=Pastor: tonight. Thank you. You ought to look after yourself, Adolf, you seem a bit on 2.1 ::AFTER :=Doctor: tell me what took place this evening after I left? I must know everything. 2.1 ::AFTER :=Laura: Yes, I did. It was my duty to look after the interests of the house; I couldn't 2.2 ::AFTER :=Captain: with her, and I ordered champagne. After the second glass, I touched her foot; 2.2 ::AFTER :=Captain: the second glass, I touched her foot; after the fourth, her knee, and before morning, 3.1 ::AFTER :=Captain: by society, then separate directly after, and become lover and mistress, and 3.1 ::AFTER :=Captain: one of these books. So I wasn't mad after all. Here it is in the Odyssey -- Book 3.1 ::AFTER :=Doctor: put the strait-jacket on the patient after I've had a word with him, and when 3.1 ::AFTER :=Doctor: his mind, and you must help up to look after our patient. 3.1 ::AFTER :=Laura: take care of your ward, and I'll look after mine. Here's the Doctor. I'm glad to 3.1 ::AFTER :=Nurse: How do you know what happens after death! 3.1 ::AFTER :=Pastor: Ah well, I won't say anything. After all, blood's thicker than water. 3.2 ::AFTER :=Pastor: First death, and after that the Judgement . . . 2.3 ::AFTER-LIFE :=Captain: in a life to come, my child was my after-life. She was my idea of immortality 1.1 ::AFTERWARDS :=Pastor: as if that boy could help to nurse it. Afterwards, the girl can get a good place 1.3 ::AFTERWARDS :=Laura: a decision without changing his mind afterwards. 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Captain: In the kitchen again? Send him in here at once. 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Captain: has been playing around with the maid again. The fellow's a thoroughly bad lot 1.3 ::AGAIN :=Captain: Goodbye, and I hope I shall see you again in the morning. 1.4 ::AGAIN :=Bertha: Oh then everything'll be tiresome again. Why can't you two -- 1.4 ::AGAIN :=Bertha: lies, then I'll never believe you again. 1.4 ::AGAIN :=Nurse: in trouble, he'll come back to her again, like a good little child. 2.1 ::AGAIN :=Nurse: Oh, I've told you time and time again: it was that scamp Johansson. 2.3 ::AGAIN :=Captain: life, and when you grew old, live it again through your child. I've borne all 2.3 ::AGAIN :=Laura: and your mother will be with you again. Do you remember that, when I first 3.1 ::AGAIN :=Captain: Don't ever call me that again! 3.1 ::AGAIN :=Doctor: he's sent to prison, he'll soon be out again. Therefore we feel it's in the best 3.1 ::AGAIN :=Laura: for assault, he might become violent again. 3.1 ::AGAIN :=Nurse: quietly here, and I'll soon get them again. Now, Mr Adolf, I wonder if you remember 1.3 ::AGAINST :=Captain: booksellers in the world are in league against me! Would you believe it, for the 1.4 ::AGAINST :=Captain: always stood by me when they were all against me; but now, when I really need you, 1.4 ::AGAINST :=Captain: great wrong. You see they're plotting against me now -- and that Doctor's no friend 2.3 ::AGAINST :=Captain: you've been setting my former friends against me by spreading a rumour about my 3.1 ::AGAINST :=Captain: right, cling together, all of you, against me. That's what you've done all 3.2 ::AGAINST :=Captain: But I can feel your soft shawl against my mouth, it's as warm and soft as 2.1 ::AGO :=Laura: Six years ago we had much the same trouble, and then 2.1 ::AGONY :=Nurse: when it seemed most fair, Naught but agony was there." Yes, dear child, God send 3.1 ::AGONY :=Captain: Russia's greatest poet, died in agony caused much more by the rumours going 1.1 ::AGREE :=Pastor: to say. It's hard luck on the girl, I agree, but it's hard luck on the boy too. 1.2 ::AGREE :=Laura: But if the father and the mother agree on a compromise . . . 1.4 ::AGREE :=Nurse: But I do think you ought to be able to agree. 1.1 ::AH :=Captain: it might be worth trying with him. Ah, Nojd, what have you been up to now? 1.1 ::AH :=Pastor: Ah well, we all have our troubles in this 1.3 ::AH :=Captain: people say "it's all the same to me"! Ah, there you are, Margret. Look, my dear, 1.3 ::AH :=Laura: Ah! I understand. Yes -- yes. Excuse me, 1.3 ::AH :=Laura: for something. I shan't be a moment -- Ah, here is Adolf. 1.4 ::AH :=Captain: Ah. 1.4 ::AH :=Captain: Ah. So you want to go and live in the to 1.4 ::AH :=Laura: Ah, Bertha's in here! Then perhaps we can 2.1 ::AH :=Nurse: I'm sure the chimneys'll blow down: "Ah, what is our life below? Pain and sorrow, 2.1 ::AH :=Nurse: resounds his cry: "All must perish, all is vain!" Ah yes! "All that upon this 2.2 ::AH :=Doctor: Ah, there's more than one kind of woman, 2.3 ::AH :=Captain: Ah, I see you have a high opinion of me, 3.1 ::AH :=Captain: way, that I can still read my books. Ah, Jonas, are you here? And the doctor, 3.1 ::AH :=Doctor: Ah, Nojd. You know the circumstances here. 3.1 ::AH :=Laura: Give it to me. Ah. . . Nojd, have you taken all the cartridges 3.1 ::AH :=Pastor: Ah well, I won't say anything. After all, 3.2 ::AH :=Captain: Give me my tunic -- put that over me. Ah, my rough lion-skin that you tried to 3.2 ::AH :=Captain: Let me put my head on your lap. There! Ah, that's warmer. Lean over me, so that 1.1 ::AHEAD :=Captain: the least. I assure you that will go ahead in the ordinary way; it's a matter 3.2 ::AIR :=Captain: out to grin. It's like hitting the air, or a sham fight with blank cartridges. 3.2 ::AIR :=Captain: things are, my thoughts melt into thin air, and my brain grinds away at nothing, 3.1 ::ALEXANDER :=Captain: History of Russian Literature: Alexander Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet, 2.2 ::ALIVE :=Captain: he would have spoken if he'd been alive? And do you suppose that if any dead 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: Not at all! I showed her efforts to a well-known 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: Once and for all, are you the father of the child or 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: "Anxious"? You mean "angry". All right, have it your own way. Let me help 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: This house it full of women who all want to bring up my daughter. My mother-in-law 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: and I'm no martyr -- but we've had all that out before. Good night -- remember 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: Besides, it's not really my affair. All right, clear out. 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: more suited to a man, when it would all be wasted if she ever did decide to 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: hard on her if she never married after all. On the other hand, I don't want to persuade 1.1 ::ALL :=Captain: the Court'll have to decide. I've done all I can. Besides, it's not really my affair. 1.1 ::ALL :=Nojd: ever be sure. And it's no joke slaving all your life to support another man's child. 1.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: Ah well, we all have our troubles in this life. 1.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: of you. Take care of yourself, that's all I say. Goodbye, old man -- Oh, didn't 1.2 ::ALL :=Captain: Not at all. I suppose you want some housekeeping 1.2 ::ALL :=Captain: None whatever. By law she surrenders all her rights and possessions to her husband, 1.3 ::ALL :=Captain: would send me the books! I believe all the booksellers in the world are in league 1.3 ::ALL :=Captain: makes me mad -- I can't think what it all means. 1.3 ::ALL :=Captain: me more than to hear people say "it's all the same to me"! Ah, there you are, Margret. 1.3 ::ALL :=Doctor: this, madam. I assure you, you have all my sympathy. 1.3 ::ALL :=Doctor: what can be done. I sympathize with all my heart, and I hope you will rely on 1.3 ::ALL :=Laura: mind is going. Now you know it all; you'll be able to judge for yourself 1.3 ::ALL :=Laura: myself to fall in with his wishes, all through these long, trying years. Oh, 1.3 ::ALL :=Laura: instance, he has a mania for buying all sorts of things. 1.3 ::ALL :=Laura: if we, who are nearest to him, should all be proved wrong. 1.4 ::ALL :=Bertha: All right, but you mustn't say anything. 1.4 ::ALL :=Bertha: but sometimes it won't go at all. When I'm tired, it doesn't, but I have 1.4 ::ALL :=Bertha: Oh, it's so horrid and dull in there all the time -- just like a winter night; 1.4 ::ALL :=Bertha: beautifully, but Grandmama said it was all out of Stagnelius, and that I'd been 1.4 ::ALL :=Captain: I think this is all very unfortunate. 1.4 ::ALL :=Captain: while I have three -- as well as all hers. Don't you think I should have been 1.4 ::ALL :=Captain: always stood by me when they were all against me; but now, when I really need 1.4 ::ALL :=Captain: stand in this house. You've seen it all from the very beginning. 1.4 ::ALL :=Captain: the same elements as our earth. That's all I see. 1.4 ::ALL :=Laura: Or what? All right then, we'll stop. But think very 1.4 ::ALL :=Laura: you decide to do anything. Above all, don't make yourself look ridiculous 1.4 ::ALL :=Laura: among wicked people who'll say that all her mother has taught her is stupid? 1.4 ::ALL :=Laura: . . asking tiresome questions. Don't be difficult. All right, if you won't, then 1.4 ::ALL :=Nurse: Yes, I've seen, all right. But, my goodness, why must two 1.4 ::ALL :=Nurse: Oh, Mr Adolf, what is all this about? 1.4 ::ALL :=Nurse: it, but I suppose it's because you are all women's children, every one of you, great 1.4 ::ALL :=Nurse: ought to meet the mistress half-way in all this bother over the child? Think how 2.1 ::ALL :=Bertha: it matter? I daren't stay up there all alone, I think it's haunted. 2.1 ::ALL :=Captain: see it, but the difference is there all the same. Do you think Bertha's like 2.1 ::ALL :=Laura: I don't know at all, unless it was that he had to interview 2.1 ::ALL :=Laura: stand idly by and let him ruin us all. 2.1 ::ALL :=Laura: father of a child. Heaven knows I did all I could to calm him, but I'm beginning 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: his cry: "All must perish, all is vain!" Ah yes! "All that upon this earth 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: through the world resounds his cry: "All must perish, all is vain!" Ah yes! "All 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: Yes, yes, I'll see that everything's all right. 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: death, to carve upon the gaping tomb: "All must perish, all is vain!" Yes indeed 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: alone escapes our death, to carve upon the gaping tomb: "All must perish, all is 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: spreads his wing And through the world resounds his cry: "All must perish, all is 2.2 ::ALL :=Captain: use the word "unhealthy". Remember all boilers burst when their pressure-gauge 2.2 ::ALL :=Doctor: Not at all, Captain. You know, when I heard Mrs 2.3 ::ALL :=Captain: till we finally woke. that was all very well, but we woke with our feet 2.3 ::ALL :=Captain: till my hair has turned grey, and all so that you could enjoy a carefree life, 2.3 ::ALL :=Captain: again through your child. I've borne all this without complaining because I imagined 2.3 ::ALL :=Captain: men and beasts obey? I am a sick man, all I ask is pity; I surrender the symbols 2.3 ::ALL :=Laura: What do you mean by all this? 2.3 ::ALL :=Laura: Yes, power. What has all this life and death struggle been about 2.3 ::ALL :=Laura: What can I do? I swear before God and all that I hold sacred that you are Bertha's 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: It's all to be found here -- in every one of these 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: That's right, cling together, all of you, against me. That's what you've 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: children, couldn't we? But how can all that help me now? How can anything help 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: against me. That's what you've done all along. 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: -- you're just a telephone, relaying all their chatter in there. Yes, in there 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: heavens, how they do talk. But we're all laughing-stocks anyway, we married men, 3.1 ::ALL :=Captain: of these books. So I wasn't mad after all. Here it is in the Odyssey -- Book I, 3.1 ::ALL :=Doctor: chair, with your shawl over it, and all wait outside, while the Pastor and I 3.1 ::ALL :=Doctor: we feel it's in the best interests of all parties that he should be treated as 3.1 ::ALL :=Laura: Just look at all the things he kept here! 3.1 ::ALL :=Laura: Give it to me. Ah. . . Nojd, have you taken all the cartridges out of the guns 3.1 ::ALL :=Laura: yourself Margret. The only hope for all of us is to keep calm. Who is it? 3.1 ::ALL :=Laura: my mother's not to know anything about all this, do you understand? 3.1 ::ALL :=Nojd: I've done all you said, madam. 3.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: All right, but you must pay attention, then. 3.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: Tell me, how did it all begin? I've heard so many different 3.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: Good evening, Laura, I've been out all day, I expect they told you; I've only 3.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: Ah well, I won't say anything. After all, blood's thicker than water. 3.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: and water without an explosion. What all that in the drawer? 3.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: me: is your conscience quite clear in all this? 3.1 ::ALL :=Pastor: must have loved you very much, Laura, all the same. I've never kept things like 3.2 ::ALL :=Captain: All that sounds very plausible, but how does 3.2 ::ALL :=Captain: Yes, I do! I believe that you're all my enemies. My mother, who didn't want 3.2 ::ALL :=Doctor: Yes, that's all I know. If anyone knows more, let him 3.2 ::ALL :=Laura: Is that all you have to say at this death-bed, D 1.2 ::ALLOWANCE :=Captain: the housekeeping money, and your allowance. You can give me the accounts 1.2 ::ALLOWED :=Captain: Because I wasn't allowed to eat or sleep or work in peace 1.2 ::ALLOWED :=Laura: And where is she to live -- if I'm allowed to ask? 1.1 ::ALMOST :=Pastor: a gift for painting that it would be almost a crime not to encourage it? 2.1 ::ALONE :=Bertha: it matter? I daren't stay up there all alone, I think it's haunted. 2.1 ::ALONE :=Nurse: breath To earth must fall beneath his doom, Sorrow alone escapes our death, 1.1 ::ALONG :=Captain: standard. Then, this summer, along comes a young whippersnapper who knows 1.3 ::ALONG :=Captain: in time, and I know they're working along the same lines in Berlin. Still, that 1.4 ::ALONG :=Laura: Come along, or they'll be. . . asking tiresome 1.4 ::ALONG :=Nurse: sit there sulking. There, there; come along now! 3.1 ::ALONG :=Captain: me. That's what you've done all along. 1.1 ::ALREADY :=Captain: of that. The whole house is up in arms already, and, between ourselves, the other 1.2 ::ALREADY :=Captain: I'd made up my mind already, I merely wished to inform the only 1.2 ::ALREADY :=Captain: And you've passed judgement already? 1.3 ::ALREADY :=Captain: Oh, you're here already, Doctor. We're very glad to see 1.3 ::ALREADY :=Doctor: but I've had some patients to see already. 2.3 ::ALREADY :=Captain: Have you the power already, then? 2.3 ::ALREADY :=Captain: What use is that, when you've already said that a mother can and should 3.1 ::ALREADY :=Captain: Are you croaking for a corpse already, you old crow? Nojd! Is Nojd there? 3.1 ::ALREADY :=Captain: I eat you, you will eat me -- you've already shown me your teeth. But don't be 1.4 ::ALSO :=Captain: what she wants is to leave home, but I also know that you have the power to make 2.2 ::ALSO :=Captain: Is it true that further foals may also be striped, even if the next sire is 2.2 ::ALTER :=Captain: circumstance, but it doesn't alter my judgement, even if it mitigates 2.3 ::ALTERED :=Laura: I was whenever your feelings altered, and you presented yourself as my 2.3 ::ALTHOUGH :=Captain: Yes, I'm crying, although I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has 2.3 ::ALTHOUGH :=Captain: you got the upper hand, so that I -- although I was the commander in barracks 1.1 ::ALTOGETHER :=Captain: this case. Probably the boy's not altogether innocent -- we'll never know; 2.2 ::ALVING :=Doctor: Captain. You know, when I heard Mrs Alving eulogizing her dead husband, I thought 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Captain: Then, if she doesn't marry, she can always support herself -- at any rate as 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Nojd: Oh, you always have to tell them that. 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Nojd: Well yes, sir, in a way it was. I always say nothing ever comes of it unless 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Nojd: yes. But how's a man to be sure he's always been the only one? 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Pastor: though she's my own sister, she was always a bit tiresome. 1.3 ::ALWAYS :=Doctor: when I've read them, and they've always seemed to show a particularly fine 1.3 ::ALWAYS :=Laura: He always insists on having his own way, but 1.4 ::ALWAYS :=Captain: like a mother to me. Up to now, you've always stood by me when they were all against 1.4 ::ALWAYS :=Nurse: Now then, Mr Adolf, you always think the worst of everyone. It's 2.1 ::ALWAYS :=Laura: better, then Margret can sit here. She always waits for him when he's out; besides, 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Captain: You always had the advantage. If I was awake, 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Laura: The pleasure of your embraces was always followed by remorse, as if my very 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Captain: Always the same thing -- not I! Who then, 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Pastor: It's a deplorable business, but I always expected something like this would 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Pastor: of that free- thinker. You know, I've always looked on him as a weed in our ga 1.1 ::AM :=Nojd: How am I to know who's to blame? 1.1 ::AM :=Pastor: Yes -- well, who am I to judge . . . What were we talking 1.2 ::AM :=Laura: Am I interrupting? 1.4 ::AM :=Captain: no woman is born of man. But then I am Bertha's father. Tell me, Margret, you 1.4 ::AM :=Laura: Oh, am I as powerful as that? 2.1 ::AM :=Laura: Doctor; if you only knew how anxious I am. But wouldn't it be better to tell him 2.3 ::AM :=Captain: No, I am not. There's a crime lying buried here 2.3 ::AM :=Captain: of success, you cut off my arm. I am dishonoured now and I can no longer live, 2.3 ::AM :=Captain: of command both men and beasts obey? I am a sick man, all I ask is pity; I surrender 2.3 ::AM :=Laura: Then I am in the right! 3.1 ::AM :=Captain: wanted to eat me, but she couldn't. I am Saturn, who ate his own children because 3.1 ::AM :=Laura: There you are, then! You cannot, so I am not guilty. And now, you take care of 3.2 ::AM :=Laura: I feel myself innocent even if I am not. You're existence has been like a 3.2 ::AMEN :=Pastor: Amen. 1.1 ::AMONG :=Pastor: It depends how much he's lived among women. 1.4 ::AMONG :=Laura: a mother is going to send her child among wicked people who'll say that all her 2.3 ::AMONG :=Captain: sunrise, we found ourselves sitting among ruins in bright moonlight, just as 3.2 ::AMONG :=Captain: night, Margret! And blessed be thou among women. 3.2 ::AMONG :=Captain: were young, Laura, and we used to walk in the birchwoods among the primroses and 1.1 ::AMOUNT :=Captain: Laura has her faults, but they don't amount to much. 1.1 ::AN :=Captain: of her; Laura wants her to be an artist; the governess wants to make her 1.2 ::AN :=Captain: That's an official and confidential matter -- 1.2 ::AN :=Laura: Thank you so much! And do you keep an account of what you spend -- apart from 1.3 ::AN :=Doctor: Ideas like that can develop rapidly in an unstable mind, and may easily turn to 1.3 ::AN :=Laura: so much to have a doctor who takes an interest in his patients; and I've heard 1.4 ::AN :=Captain: for us to arrive at some sort of an answer. 1.4 ::AN :=Captain: God and love, your voice becomes hard, an your eyes fill with hatred. No, Margret, 2.1 ::AN :=Doctor: Yes; you know, of course, that an insane person loses his civil and family 2.1 ::AN :=Doctor: One has to be careful about making an accusation that could lead to a man being 2.1 ::AN :=Doctor: suspicions, and then they'd grow like an avalanche. Moreover by your action you 2.1 ::AN :=Laura: fancy. Just imagine, he had an idea that he wasn't the father of his 2.2 ::AN :=Captain: is quite unconscious. That's an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn't 2.2 ::AN :=Captain: innocent -- as innocent, that is, as an indication of love can be, from a married 2.2 ::AN :=Doctor: careful not to let your thoughts take an unhealthy turn. 2.3 ::AN :=Captain: some achievement, some discovery, or an honourable suicide. I should have liked 2.3 ::AN :=Laura: That was an act of kindness on my part; you were neglecting 2.3 ::AN :=Laura: body had no fibre, you were like an overgrown child, as if you'd come into 2.3 ::AN :=Laura: By means of this letter -- of which an attested copy is in the hands of the Board 3.1 ::AN :=Captain: Did I ever tell you what I said to an English lady who complained of the habit 3.1 ::AN :=Doctor: the violence must be considered as an outbreak of rage or of madness. 3.1 ::AN :=Doctor: imprisonment and a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have you to say about the 3.1 ::AN :=Pastor: you can't mix fire and water without an explosion. What all that in the drawe 3.1 ::AN :=Pastor: for a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. Laura, tell me: is your conscience 3.2 ::AN :=Laura: It's possible that I was swayed by an obscure desire to be rid of you, as something 1.3 ::ANALYSIS :=Captain: subjected meteoric stones to spectrum analysis, and I've found coal -- a sign of 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: And don't go back in the kitchen, you scoundrel. 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: Once and for all, are you the father of the child 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: I'm no witness to the faith, and I'm no martyr -- but we've had all that 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: anyhow, the whole house is at sixes and sevens. Laura won't let Bertha go, and 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: her efforts to a well-known artist, and he said they were only up to school-girl 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: tear me to pieces in half a minute. And you laugh, you wretch! As if it wasn't 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: a Methodist; old Margret, a Baptist; and the maids, a Salvation Army lass. It's 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: become a pander for my own daughter, and bring her up with no idea except marriage. 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: to see that women can do this, that, and the other. It's man versus woman the 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: to provide for a family on their pay. And if she does marry, she can use her training 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: The whole house is up in arms already, and, between ourselves, the other side's 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: and sevens. Laura won't let Bertha go, and I can't let her stay in this madhous 1.1 ::AND :=Captain: young whippersnapper who knows better, and he says she shows superb talent; so, 1.1 ::AND :=Nojd: Well, of course she and I . . . But you know yourself, Pastor, 1.1 ::AND :=Nojd: Reverence, no one can ever be sure. And it's no joke slaving all your life to 1.1 ::AND :=Nojd: having a dance at Gabriel's, you see, and Ludwig was saying -- 1.1 ::AND :=Nojd: man's child. Surely you see that, Sir, and you, your Reverence. 1.1 ::AND :=Pastor: And because she's your wife, she must be 1.1 ::AND :=Pastor: The girl can stay in the orphanage and nurse the child for four months, and 1.1 ::AND :=Pastor: and nurse the child for four months, and then it's looked after for the rest of 1.1 ::AND :=Pastor: chap, I promised I'd be in to supper, and the old lady gets anxious if I'm lat 1.1 ::AND :=Pastor: because I can't see much help for you, and of course Laura has her supporters -- 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: And you've passed judgement already? 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: That's an official and confidential matter -- 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: Leave the accounts here, and I'll go over them. 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: here's the housekeeping money, and your allowance. You can give me the accounts 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: Things are in a bad way with us, and if I should go bankrupt, I must be able 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: and in return he must support her and her children. 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: wished to inform the only friend I and my household have in common. Bertha is 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: you can't expect to have them back and keep the money. 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: By law she surrenders all her rights and possessions to her husband, and in return 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: wanted him because he was a Pietist; and old Margret, because she'd known his 1.2 ::AND :=Captain: rights and possessions to her husband, and in return he must support her and her 1.2 ::AND :=Laura: And the mother has no say in the matter? 1.2 ::AND :=Laura: And where is she to live -- if I'm allowed 1.2 ::AND :=Laura: But if the father and the mother agree on a compromise . . 1.2 ::AND :=Laura: Thank you so much! And do you keep an account of what you spend 1.3 ::AND :=Captain: get my treatise finished in time, and I know they're working along the same 1.3 ::AND :=Captain: Doctor; you must be tired. Goodbye, and I hope I shall see you again in the 1.3 ::AND :=Captain: acknowledged my orders. I've written and even sent abusive telegrams! It makes 1.3 ::AND :=Captain: meteoric stones to spectrum analysis, and I've found coal -- a sign of life! What 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: And can you see that through a microscop 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: seemed to show a particularly fine and orderly mind. 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: most impressed when I've read them, and they've always seemed to show a particularly 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: I'm deeply moved by your misfortune, and I promise you that I'll see what can 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: develop rapidly in an unstable mind, and may easily turn to obsessions or monomania. 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: done. I sympathize with all my heart, and I hope you will rely on me absolutely. 1.3 ::AND :=Doctor: in me, but as a doctor, I must examine and investigate for myself before I make 1.3 ::AND :=Laura: Then you don't believe me, Doctor. And I've been letting you into our family 1.3 ::AND :=Laura: been married for twenty years now, and he's never yet made a decision without 1.3 ::AND :=Laura: moment he gets it, he loses interest, and asks me to decide for him. 1.3 ::AND :=Laura: who takes an interest in his patients; and I've heard so many nice things about 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: and that I'd been cheating her, and she go terrible angry. 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: she likes to turn the lamp down, and then I have to sit at the table and hold 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: said it was all out of Stagnelius, and that I'd been cheating her, and she go 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: and then I have to sit at the table and hold a pen over a sheet of paper. And 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: revenge if anyone talks about them. And then the pen writes but I don't know 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: Grandmama says you don't understand, and she says you have things that are far 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: and hold a pen over a sheet of paper. And then she commands the spirit to writ 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: says there are things that she can see and you can't. 1.4 ::AND :=Bertha: sometimes -- often. Oh, it's so horrid and dull in there all the time -- just like 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: And you and the Baptists have found the only 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: And you and the Baptists have found the only real 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: Ah. So you want to go and live in the town? 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: Hm. Well, suppose you want it and I want it, but she doesn't want it -- 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: how, the moment you talk about God and love, your voice becomes hard, an your 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: You insulted Nordling till he left; and then you got your brother to scrape up 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: a poor soldier, if I hadn't had her and her child? 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: how did you get rid of Dr Nordling, and how did you get the new man here? 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: bodies. What I do is to examine then, and say whether they're made of the same 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: when I really need you, you desert me and go over to the enemy. 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: you think a father would let ignorant and conceited women teach his daughter that 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: see they're plotting against me now -- and that Doctor's no friend of mine. 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: that? Would you like to go to the town and learn something useful? 1.4 ::AND :=Captain: Well, one day you'll meet your match -- and you'll never forget it. 1.4 ::AND :=Laura: Well, that was very simple, and quite legitimate. So Bertha's to go 1.4 ::AND :=Laura: now when I said Bertha was my child and not yours. Suppose -- 1.4 ::AND :=Laura: put up with anything, to lose my home and my good name, for the sake of keeping 1.4 ::AND :=Laura: real father, with details of the time and place; for instance -- when was Bertha 1.4 ::AND :=Laura: name, for the sake of keeping my child and bringing her up. Suppose I was telling 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: ready. Won't you please come out and have it. 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: see how God will make you happy, and loving towards your neighbour. 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: the father of your own child. Come and have supper, now, and don't sit there 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: as you, Mr Adolf. Humble your heart, and you'll see how God will make you happy, 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: Margret loves her great big boy best; and when he's in trouble, he'll come back 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: own child. Come and have supper, now, and don't sit there sulking. There, there; 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: each other? Two people who are so good and kind to everyone else. The mistress is 1.4 ::AND :=Nurse: Yes, it's your learning makes you proud and hard, but it won't help you much in the 2.1 ::AND :=Bertha: the saddest song I've ever heard. And it seemed as if it came from the box- 2.1 ::AND :=Bertha: to finish Papa's Christmas present. And I've brought something you'll like, 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: I made notes of our conversation, and I remember questioning you on that particular 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: he brings up the subject himself, and then only in exceptional cases. It depends 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: action you have thwarted his will, and increased his irritability. You yourself 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: he would have cause for suspicions, and then they'd grow like an avalanche. Moreover 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: on like this; something must be done, and without arousing his suspicions. Tell 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: that an insane person loses his civil and family rights. 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: yes, a case like this is deep-rooted, and what with the sanctity of family life, 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: could say that your mother wasn't well and that I'd come to see her. 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: what with the sanctity of family life, and so forth, I can't probe too deeply; I 2.1 ::AND :=Doctor: when one's dearest wishes are thwarted and one's will obstructed. 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: It's midnight, and he's not back yet. I'm afraid something 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: His mind wandered, and he had the most extraordinary fancy. 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: No, but I want you to sit here and wait for him; and when he comes, you're 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: ago we had much the same trouble, and then he actually admitted, in his own 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: to tell him that my mother's ill, and that's why the doctor's here. 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: the girl's part, he became excited and said that no one could tell who was the 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: some question of a maintenance order, and when I took the girl's part, he became 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: of the house; I couldn't stand idly by and let him ruin us all. 2.1 ::AND :=Laura: want you to sit here and wait for him; and when he comes, you're to tell him that 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: Yes, yes . . . "A pitiful and wretched thing Is life, 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: Oh dear, oh dear! And such a fearful night too, I'm sure the 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: The old lady's ill, and the doctor's here. 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: Good night, child -- and God bless you. 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: Oh, I've told you time and time again: it was that scamp Johans 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: passes by. Death's angel o'er us spreads his wing And through the world resounds 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: "Ah, what is our life below? Pain and sorrow, grief and woe. Even when it seemed 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: out in the hall. Go to bed now -- and take the coffee-pot away, or the master'll 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: never do. It's gone twelve o'clock, and you've got to be up in the morning. 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: our life below? Pain and sorrow, grief and woe. Even when it seemed most fair, Naught 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: No, enough and no more. But listen to this, doctor; 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: You are a widower? And you've had children? 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: Now for the other -- and that was a real summer swallow. I was 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: as they're so cleverly called, and perhaps I should be able to give you 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: stewardess, in tears. She sat down and told us that her sweetheart had been 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: a stallion can sire striped foals -- and vice versa? 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: a woman of the strictest principles, and very devout; she preached morality to 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: devout; she preached morality to me, and was completely virtuous -- or so I thought. 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: kind. When I was young, I was strong and -- if I may say so -- good-looking. I 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: a man, I can only do like the Romans, and fold my arms over my chest and hold my 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: her foot; after the fourth, her knee, and before morning, I had consoled her. 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: thought. I lent her one or two books, and when she went away, surprisingly enough, 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: woman was so despicable that she went and told her husband that she was in love 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: would have spoken if he'd been alive? And do you suppose that if any dead husband 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: Romans, and fold my arms over my chest and hold my breath till I die. Good nigh 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: be able to give you the full diagnosis and, what is more, the case history. But 2.2 ::AND :=Captain: been drowned. We sympathized with her, and I ordered champagne. After the second 2.2 ::AND :=Doctor: No, as a matter of fact, I never was. And anyhow, Captain, wasn't it Goethe who 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: And how can you have me put under restra 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: And who will pay for her education when I'm 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: Yes and no. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: There are for me, and it's you who have raised them. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: Laura, don't destroy me and my reason! You don't understand what 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: It was you and the lawyer, and you were talking about the property that 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: himself. When women grow old and cease to be women, they grow hair on 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: For you had no understanding, and instead of carrying out my ideas, you 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: hear your answer. I recovered, and we had a child. Who is the father? 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: I was the commander in barracks and on parade -- when I was with you, I was 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: in the drawing-room. It was you and the lawyer, and you were talking about 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: it. Do you think a man would go and trumpet his own shame abroad. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: that you have been waiting for, and that may come at any time. That brings 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: Yes, that's how it was. My father and mother never wanted me, so I was born 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: here that's beginning to stink -- and what a hellish crime it is! You women 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: you could have led me into crime, and even into petty meanness. For you had 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: -- you know why not. I became ill, and was at death's door. Once, when the fever 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: I shall have to leave the Service, and where will you be then? If I die my life 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: Then I immersed myself in science. And now, when I should be reaching out my 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: as babies, full of fancies, ideas, and illusions; till we finally woke. that 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: been intercepting both my incoming and outgoing mail. The consequence is that 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: hurt with the same weapons, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: incidents that render you suspect, and perhaps condemn you. We'd been married 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: it is! You women pity black slaves and set them free, but you keep white ones. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: me outright "This is the truth" -- and I will forgive you in advance. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: a man can live when there's nothing and no one to live for? 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: into my ears like drops of henbane, and circumstances have made them grow. Free 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: servants. I've sacrificed my career and promotion, I've been racked and tortured, 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: that soon my reason will be clouded and my mind will begin to wander. That means 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: I surrender the symbols of my power, and pray for mercy on my life. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: anything because we had no children, and he asked if you were expecting one. I 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: between two and three in the morning and I was sitting up reading. You screamed 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: but you keep white ones. I've worked and slaved for you and your child, your mother, 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: cut off my arm. I am dishonoured now and I can no longer live, for a man cannot 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: for you and your child, your mother, and your servants. I've sacrificed my career 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: future till my hair has turned grey, and all so that you could enjoy a carefree 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: obey; you could give me a raw potato and convince me that it was a peach; you 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: ones. I've worked and slaved for you and your child, your mother, and your servants. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a woman. If you prick us, do 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: we woke with our feet on the pillow, and whoever it was who woke us was a sleepwalker 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: Bertha's birthday. It was between two and three in the morning and I was sitting 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: I've heard you cry out in your sleep, and I've refused to listen. Now I remember 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: carry out both my duties as a soldier and my obligations as a father; I have my 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: it so that soon it will slip its cogs and then the whole works will whirr to a 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: my reason. Free me from my suspicions and I'll give up the fight. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: that you could enjoy a carefree life, and when you grew old, live it again through 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: were no longer cocks but only capons, and the pullets answered the call, so that 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: you've already said that a mother can and should commit any crime for her child's 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: you. We'd been married for two years, and had no children -- you know why not. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: I realized how my honour was tarnished and I wanted to redeem it by some noble action 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: a little morning nap, with bad dreams, and there was no awakening. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: career and promotion, I've been racked and tortured, I've endured sleepless nights, 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: foundations in reality. Take that away and you wipe me out. 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: or less intact -- though you've gnawed and gnawed at it so that soon it will slip 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: own way. But when I eventually woke up and came to my senses, I realized how my 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: so I was born without a will. When you and I became one I thought I was completing 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: soldier whose word of command both men and beasts obey? I am a sick man, all I ask 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: what becomes of men when they grow old and cease to be men. Those who once crowed 2.3 ::AND :=Captain: I saw that, but I never understood why. And when I thought you despised me for my 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: And the stronger will be in the right? 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: Yes, and that's where you were wrong. The mother 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: That's true, and that's why I loved you as if you were 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: Cry then, child, and your mother will be with you again. Do 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: What's this? A man, and crying? 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: Yes, legal power, too, and tomorrow I shall use it to put you under 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: There's no further need for you, and you must go. You must go because, though 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: What can I do? I swear before God and all that I hold sacred that you are Bertha's 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: Yes, power. What has all this life and death struggle been about except pow 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: Love between the sexes is a battle. And don't imagine that I gave myself to you; 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: -- unfortunately -- essential father and breadwinner. There's no further need 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: guilty so that you can get rid of me and then have full control over the child. 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: I was whenever your feelings altered, and you presented yourself as my lover. The 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: formidable as my will, you won't stay and acknowledge it! 2.3 ::AND :=Laura: had one advantage -- I realized that, and I wanted you to realize it too. 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: Feel under your wig and see if you can't find two bumps up there. 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: directly after, and become lover and mistress, and then adopt the children. 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: you had the sense? Caught, shorn and outwitted -- they won't even let me 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: half goes on growing, with my arm and half my brain, while I whither away and 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: let you. You see, I'm a cannibal, and I want to eat you. Your mother wanted 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: or you will never have any peace, and nor shall I. You must have one thought 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: that a man -- a man who has loved and worshipped a woman -- goes and takes 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: my books. Ah, Jonas, are you here? And the doctor, of course. Did I ever tell 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: and then someone comes with a knife and cuts them down below the graft, so that 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: half my brain, while I whither away and die, because it was the best part of 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: pale, too! But cheer up, she's dead and buried, and what's done can't be undone. 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: But cheer up, she's dead and buried, and what's done can't be undone. I used to 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: brought on the wind, like pestilence and fever. Look at me, so that I can see 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: him?" That's clear enough, isn't it? And what have we here? Merzlyakov's History 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: loved and worshipped a woman -- goes and takes a lighted lamp and flings it in 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: man ever yet knew his own begetter." And it was Penelope, the most virtuous of 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: suspecting. That's a fine thing, eh? And then we have the prophet Ezekiel: "The 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: themselves into a more perfect tree; and then someone comes with a knife and cuts 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: two souls, and you love me with one, and hate me with the other. But you must 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: after, and become lover and mistress, and then adopt the children. Then we could 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: best part of myself that I gave away. And now I want to die. Do what you like to 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: let me kill the child? Life's a hell, and death is the Kingdom of Heaven; children 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: -- isn't that so, Jonas? One believes, and one is saved. Yes, that's how it is! 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: I grafted my right arm, half my brain, and half my marrow, onto another stem, for 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: for I thought they would grow together and knit themselves into a more perfect tree; 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: see her soul, too! You have two souls, and you love me with one, and hate me with 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: society, then separate directly after, and become lover and mistress, and then adopt 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: thought only, the child of my thought; and only one will -- mine! 3.1 ::AND :=Captain: woman -- goes and takes a lighted lamp and flings it in her face . . . well, then 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: And if he's sent to prison, he'll soon be 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: after I've had a word with him, and when I give the order, but not before. 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: the back to restrict his movements. And here we have two straps with buckles 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: that chair, with your shawl over it, and all wait outside, while the Pastor and 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: and all wait outside, while the Pastor and I receive him. Quickly -- that door won't 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: here. The Captain. is our of his mind, and you must help up to look after our p 3.1 ::AND :=Doctor: your husband is liable to imprisonment and a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: And you dare to say that to me, his wife 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: There. Give this to Nojd. And my mother's not to know anything about 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: I've sent a message to the Colonel, and now I'm trying to look into the household 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: you taken all the cartridges out of the guns and emptied the pouches? 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: And now, you take care of your ward, and I'll look after mine. Here's the Doctor. 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: his about not being Bertha's father, and it ended with his throwing a lighted 3.1 ::AND :=Laura: then! You cannot, so I am not guilty. And now, you take care of your ward, and 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: when you were my dear little boy and I used to tuck you up at night and read 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: bite!" And you let go of it there and then. And the times you wouldn't get 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: how I used to get up in the night and get you a drink, and how I used to light 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: to. I used to have to wheedle you and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: and how I used to light the candle and tell you lovely stories when you had 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: away? You were a silly little boy, and we had to play tricks on you, because 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: coat and be dressed like a prince. And then I'd take your little jacket and 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: say: "Get up, now, like a good boy, and walk across the room, so that I can see 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: And then I'd take your little jacket and say "In with your arms now -- both of 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: And you let go of it there and then. And the times you wouldn't get dressed when 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: away, but you just sit quietly here, and I'll soon get them again. Now, Mr Adolf, 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: him up there, pacing up and down, up and down. 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: quiet while I button down the back". And then I'd say: "Get up, now, like a good 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: up in the night and get you a drink, and how I used to light the candle and tell 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: with your arms now -- both of them!" And then I'd say, "Now sit nice and quiet 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: you and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. And then I'd 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: Mr Adolf, humble your stubborn heart, and pray to God for mercy -- it's not too 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: big carving-knife to make boats with, and how I came in and had to play a trick 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: room, so that I can see how it fits". And then I'd say "Now you must go to bed 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: that snake," I said, "or it'll bite!" And you let go of it there and then. And 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: to make boats with, and how I came in and had to play a trick on you to get the 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: Just listen to him up there, pacing up and down, up and down. 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: boy and I used to tuck you up at night and read you "Gentle Jesus"? Do you remember 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: lovely stories when you had bad dreams and couldn't sleep? Do you remember? 3.1 ::AND :=Nurse: them!" And then I'd say, "Now sit nice and quiet while I button down the back". 3.1 ::AND :=Pastor: cap; and Bertha's rattle -- and your letters and this locket. He must 3.1 ::AND :=Pastor: Good heavens! Here's your doll -- and here's your christening cap; and Bertha's 3.1 ::AND :=Pastor: -- and here's your christening cap; and Bertha's rattle -- and your letters and 3.1 ::AND :=Pastor: Bertha's rattle -- and your letters and this locket. He must have loved you very 3.1 ::AND :=Pastor: this would happen; you can't mix fire and water without an explosion. What all 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: -- lovely -- lovely! Think how beautiful life was, and what it is now. You 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: That's why the future is theirs, and we die childless. "Gentle Jesus, meek 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: -- so tired. Good night, Margret! And blessed be thou among women. 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: my resistance, and roused my mind and body to action -- but, as things are, 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: when she had to choose between me and you. And you, my wife, you were my mortal 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: it's as warm and soft as your arm, and it smells of vanilla like your hair when 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: when you were young . . . When you were young, Laura, and we used to walk in 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: plausible, but how does it help me? And who is to blame? A spiritual marriage, 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: you given me, Margret? It's so hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: are, my thoughts melt into thin air, and my brain grinds away at nothing, till 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: shawl against my mouth, it's as warm and soft as your arm, and it smells of vanilla 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: You cunning woman -- who wanted peace and preached disarmament. Wake up, Hercules, 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: and we used to walk in the birchwoods among the primroses and the thrushes -- lovely 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: fire. Give me a pillow under my head. And put something over me, I'm cold -- terribly 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: only shadows, that hide in the bushes and poke their heads out to grin. It's like 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: she had to choose between me and you. And you, my wife, you were my mortal enemy, 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: we die childless. "Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child -- " 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: It's so hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside me -- here, on the chair. 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: friend. Then he debauches the partner, and violates the friend. What becomes of 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: physical love? It dies in the process. And what is the issue of this love -- in 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: truth would have roused my resistance, and roused my mind and body to action -- 3.2 ::AND :=Captain: what it is now. You never wanted it to come to this, and nor did I; yet this has 3.2 ::AND :=Doctor: In that case -- and I can no more judge of that, than I can 3.2 ::AND :=Laura: I don't know that the thoughts and motives that you're suggesting ever entered 3.2 ::AND :=Laura: have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, I feel myself innocent 3.2 ::AND :=Laura: that you yourself have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, I feel 3.2 ::AND :=Laura: like a stone on my heart, weighing and weighing it down till the heart struggled 3.2 ::AND :=Laura: that oppressed it. That is how it was, and if I have harmed you unintentionally, 3.2 ::AND :=Pastor: First death, and after that the Judgement . . . 2.1 ::ANGEL :=Nurse: wretched thing Is life, that swiftly passes by. Death's angel o'er us spreads 1.1 ::ANGRY :=Captain: "Anxious"? You mean "angry". All right, have it your own way. 1.4 ::ANGRY :=Bertha: been cheating her, and she go terrible angry. 2.1 ::ANGRY :=Nurse: coffee-pot away, or the master'll be angry. 2.2 ::ANKLE :=Doctor: -- only a slight sprain in the left ankle. 1.3 ::ANNEXE :=Captain: Look, my dear, do you know if the annexe is ready for the Doctor? 1.3 ::ANNEXE :=Captain: here, there's a little flat in the annexe, or would you rather have the old 1.3 ::ANNOYS :=Captain: Do forgive me, Doctor, but nothing annoys me more than to hear people say "it's 1.1 ::ANOTHER :=Captain: sort of a prodigy -- nor even just another edition of myself. But I will not 1.1 ::ANOTHER :=Nojd: joke slaving all your life to support another man's child. Surely you see that, 1.3 ::ANOTHER :=Laura: a microscope what's happening on another planet? 2.3 ::ANOTHER :=Captain: guilty, do you imagine I would take on another man's child? 3.1 ::ANOTHER :=Captain: my brain, and half my marrow, onto another stem, for I thought they would grow 1.4 ::ANSWER :=Captain: for us to arrive at some sort of an answer. 2.3 ::ANSWER :=Captain: expecting one. I couldn't hear your answer. I recovered, and we had a child. 3.1 ::ANSWER :=Laura: How can I answer that now? 3.1 ::ANSWER :=Laura: Then wait outside while I answer the Colonel's letter. 2.3 ::ANSWERED :=Captain: cocks but only capons, and the pullets answered the call, so that when it should 3.1 ::ANSWERED :=Captain: she simpered. "Yes, of course," I answered. When things get to such a pitch 1.4 ::ANXIETY :=Captain: Exactly, old lady! She has only one anxiety, while I have three -- as well as 2.3 ::ANXIETY :=Captain: with you, realizing what caused your anxiety; I've often lulled your guilty conscience 1.1 ::ANXIOUS :=Captain: "Anxious"? You mean "angry". All right, have 1.1 ::ANXIOUS :=Pastor: be in to supper, and the old lady gets anxious if I'm late. 2.1 ::ANXIOUS :=Laura: leave us, Doctor; if you only knew how anxious I am. But wouldn't it be better to 1.1 ::ANY :=Captain: she can always support herself -- at any rate as well as those poor schoolmasters 1.1 ::ANY :=Captain: that settles it -- in Laura's mind, at any rate! 1.2 ::ANY :=Laura: to do with me. Did my lords come to any decision at this evening's session? 1.3 ::ANY :=Captain: Good. Then I won't keep you any longer, Doctor; you must be tired. Goodbye, 1.3 ::ANY :=Doctor: my diagnosis. Does the Captain show any symptoms of sudden moodiness -- is he 1.3 ::ANY :=Doctor: must impress on you. Avoid bringing up any topic that is likely to affect the patient 1.3 ::ANY :=Laura: is out, but he should be back at any moment. 1.4 ::ANY :=Bertha: her -- very nicely. She never takes any notice of me. 1.4 ::ANY :=Captain: The child can hardly have any considered opinion about how a young 1.4 ::ANY :=Captain: No, thank you, I don't want any. 2.1 ::ANY :=Doctor: spectroscope, he's not only cleared of any suspicion of mental disorder, but he 2.1 ::ANY :=Laura: besides, she's the only one who has any influence over him. Margret! Margret 2.1 ::ANY :=Nurse: I don't see any difference. 2.2 ::ANY :=Captain: to a strange man who has never made any advances to her. So the moral is this: 2.2 ::ANY :=Captain: been alive? And do you suppose that if any dead husband were to come to life, he'd 2.3 ::ANY :=Captain: -- because I didn't want to hear any more. I'd had my suspicions for a long 2.3 ::ANY :=Captain: -- perhaps the only one that has any foundations in reality. Take that away 2.3 ::ANY :=Captain: that a mother can and should commit any crime for her child's sake? I implore 2.3 ::ANY :=Captain: no control over her, nor do I desire any. That is just what you want, isn't it? 2.3 ::ANY :=Captain: you particularly don't want me to win any honour, since it would emphasize your 2.3 ::ANY :=Captain: been waiting for, and that may come at any time. That brings you to the question 2.3 ::ANY :=Laura: Have you any grounds for your suspicions? 2.3 ::ANY :=Laura: Are there any doubts about that? 2.3 ::ANY :=Laura: Well, I'm sleepy, so if you've any more fancies, keep them till tomorro 3.1 ::ANY :=Captain: my darling child, I shan't do you any harm. 3.1 ::ANY :=Captain: only one soul, or you will never have any peace, and nor shall I. You must have 3.1 ::ANY :=Doctor: it necessary, so as to forestall any further outbreaks of violence. As you 3.1 ::ANY :=Laura: We must try to stop any more outbreaks -- the doctor's sent to 3.1 ::ANY :=Laura: I'm glad to see you, Doctor; you, at any rate, will help me, won't you? Not that 3.1 ::ANY :=Nurse: Nojd can wait outside in case I need any help -- yes, he can do that. 3.2 ::ANY :=Captain: what is so terrible. If there had been any foundation for them, that would at least 1.1 ::ANYHOW :=Captain: Well anyhow, the whole house is at sixes and sevens. 2.2 ::ANYHOW :=Doctor: as a matter of fact, I never was. And anyhow, Captain, wasn't it Goethe who said 3.1 ::ANYHOW :=Bertha: Well, not you, anyhow. 1.4 ::ANYONE :=Bertha: says the spirits take their revenge if anyone talks about them. And then the pen 1.4 ::ANYONE :=Nurse: is never like that with me -- or with anyone else -- 2.3 ::ANYONE :=Captain: been successful, since there's hardly anyone, from the Colonel to the cook, who 3.1 ::ANYONE :=Captain: mad? That doesn't interest you -- nor anyone else. Do you want to change the subject 3.2 ::ANYONE :=Doctor: Yes, that's all I know. If anyone knows more, let him speak! 1.1 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: go? Do stay for supper -- it won't be anything very grand, but do stay; I'm expecting 1.2 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: doesn't arise in this case. Is there anything else you want to ask? 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Doctor: these patients can be made to believe anything, because they are so very recep 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Laura: Yes, we've been lucky enough to escape anything serious; still, things aren't quite 1.4 ::ANYTHING :=Bertha: All right, but you mustn't say anything. You won't, will you? Please! 1.4 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: What do you want, my dear? Is anything the matter? 1.4 ::ANYTHING :=Laura: Suppose I were ready to put up with anything, to lose my home and my good name, 1.4 ::ANYTHING :=Laura: very carefully before you decide to do anything. Above all, don't make yourself 1.4 ::ANYTHING :=Nurse: Oh, I don't understand anything about that. But I do think you ought 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: He explained that you couldn't inherit anything because we had no children, and 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Bertha: I won't have you saying anything bad about Mama. 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: Nothing. One never know anything -- one only believes -- isn't that 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: how can all that help me now? How can anything help me, now that you've taken my 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Captain: else would be possible -- you must be. Anything else was just a morbid idea brought 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Laura: to Nojd. And my mother's not to know anything about all this, do you understa 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Laura: Yes, my dear. I've never been through anything like this last twenty-four hour 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Nojd: If there's anything I can do for the Captain, he knows 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Pastor: Ah well, I won't say anything. After all, blood's thicker than 1.4 ::ANYWAY :=Nurse: Anyway, I'm not as unhappy as you, Mr Adolf. 3.1 ::ANYWAY :=Captain: do talk. But we're all laughing-stocks anyway, we married men, aren't we, doctor? 1.4 ::ANYWHERE :=Bertha: Oh yes! I'd love to go to the town -- anywhere, to get away from here. So long 1.2 ::APART :=Laura: keep an account of what you spend -- apart from the housekeeping? 2.3 ::APES :=Captain: If it's true that we're descended from apes, it must at least have been from two 3.1 ::APPALLING :=Pastor: But that's appalling. He must be completely mad. What 2.3 ::APPEAL :=Captain: whirr to a standstill. I shall not appeal to your feelings, because you have 2.3 ::APPEAL :=Captain: feelings, because you have none -- I appeal to your own interests. 2.3 ::APPEARS :=Captain: as they say. From these letters, it appears that for some time now you've been 2.3 ::APPEARS :=Captain: to collect the letters. From them it appears that you've been intercepting both 1.4 ::APPLYING :=Laura: No, I'm simply applying your own doctrine. Besides, how 1.1 ::ARE :=Captain: Once and for all, are you the father of the child or not? 1.1 ::ARE :=Pastor: Yes, are you feeling off colour? 1.2 ::ARE :=Captain: course you must keep accounts. Things are in a bad way with us, and if I should 1.2 ::ARE :=Laura: It's not my fault if things are in a bad way. 1.3 ::ARE :=Captain: all the booksellers in the world are in league against me! Would you believe 1.3 ::ARE :=Captain: all the same to me"! Ah, there you are, Margret. Look, my dear, do you know 1.3 ::ARE :=Captain: no opinion, no wishes in the matter. Are you such a weakling that you don't know 1.3 ::ARE :=Doctor: it. The Captain's papers on mineralogy are masterly; I've been most impressed when 1.3 ::ARE :=Doctor: made to believe anything, because they are so very receptive. 1.3 ::ARE :=Laura: There are things in family life that one is in 1.3 ::ARE :=Laura: Well, I shall be delighted if we, who are nearest to him, should all be proved 1.4 ::ARE :=Bertha: But Grandmama says there are things that she can see and you can' 1.4 ::ARE :=Bertha: and she says you have things that are far worse -- things that can see to other 1.4 ::ARE :=Captain: Do you believe that there are such things as spirits? 1.4 ::ARE :=Captain: said I could. Do you know what meteors are? They're stones that fall from other 1.4 ::ARE :=Laura: Thank you. Are you coming to supper? 1.4 ::ARE :=Laura: All right, if you won't, then stay where you are. 1.4 ::ARE :=Laura: Simply that you don't know that you are Bertha's father. 1.4 ::ARE :=Nurse: Lord, what a baby you are! Of course you're the father of your 1.4 ::ARE :=Nurse: it, but I suppose it's because you are all women's children, every one of you, 1.4 ::ARE :=Nurse: life out of each other? Two people who are so good and kind to everyone else. The 2.1 ::ARE :=Captain: Are you still up? Go to bed. 2.1 ::ARE :=Captain: Are you sure it was he? 2.1 ::ARE :=Doctor: it can be when one's dearest wishes are thwarted and one's will obstructed. 2.2 ::ARE :=Captain: Are we enemies? 2.2 ::ARE :=Captain: You are a widower? And you've had children? 2.2 ::ARE :=Doctor: Captain, if you are ill, it wouldn't stain your honour as 2.3 ::ARE :=Captain: Are you sure? Do you think a man can live 2.3 ::ARE :=Captain: There are for me, and it's you who have raised 2.3 ::ARE :=Laura: Are there any doubts about that? 2.3 ::ARE :=Laura: You are! 2.3 ::ARE :=Laura: and all that I hold sacred that you are Bertha's father. 2.3 ::ARE :=Laura: Your admission to the doctor that you are insane. You've fulfilled your function, 3.1 ::ARE :=Bertha: Are you ill, papa? 3.1 ::ARE :=Captain: Are you croaking for a corpse already, you 3.1 ::ARE :=Captain: There you are! Directly I mentioned horns, he wants 3.1 ::ARE :=Captain: dear, darling child -- because you are my child -- yes, nothing else would be 3.1 ::ARE :=Captain: I can still read my books. Ah, Jonas, are you here? And the doctor, of course. 3.1 ::ARE :=Captain: hope of immortality from me? What use are science or philosophy to me, now that 3.1 ::ARE :=Doctor: I believe, Pastor, your own ideas are even more firmly fixed. 3.1 ::ARE :=Laura: There you are, then! You cannot, so I am not guilty. 3.1 ::ARE :=Nurse: Mr Adolf! What are you doing? 3.1 ::ARE :=Pastor: How strong you are, Laura -- incredibly strong! You're like 3.1 ::ARE :=Pastor: He must be completely mad. What are we to do now? 3.2 ::ARE :=Captain: of -- to cling to; as it is, there are only shadows, that hide in the bushes 3.2 ::ARE :=Captain: and body to action -- but, as things are, my thoughts melt into thin air, and 1.3 ::AREN'T :=Laura: escape anything serious; still, things aren't quite as they should be. 1.4 ::AREN'T :=Captain: Well, I know there aren't. 2.1 ::AREN'T :=Nurse: Why, bless my soul, Bertha, aren't you in bed yet? 3.1 ::AREN'T :=Bertha: You aren't my father if you can say things like 3.1 ::AREN'T :=Captain: anyway, we married men, aren't we, doctor? How was your marriage 1.1 ::ARGUMENT :=Pastor: plan for Bertha that's caused so much argument? Can't you compromise somehow? 1.2 ::ARISE :=Captain: That question doesn't arise in this case. Is there anything else 2.3 ::ARM :=Captain: the fruits of success, you cut off my arm. I am dishonoured now and I can no longer 3.1 ::ARM :=Captain: other half goes on growing, with my arm and half my brain, while I whither away 3.1 ::ARM :=Captain: my honour's gone? I grafted my right arm, half my brain, and half my marrow, onto 3.2 ::ARM :=Captain: mouth, it's as warm and soft as your arm, and it smells of vanilla like your hair 3.2 ::ARMOUR :=Captain: from you. You'd trick us out of our armour, too, making believe it was tinsel. 1.1 ::ARMS :=Captain: sure of that. The whole house is up in arms already, and, between ourselves, the 2.2 ::ARMS :=Captain: only do like the Romans, and fold my arms over my chest and hold my breath till 3.1 ::ARMS :=Doctor: which you then make fast to the arms of the chair or sofa, whichever is more 3.1 ::ARMS :=Nurse: little jacket and say "In with your arms now -- both of them!" And then I'd say, 3.2 ::ARMS :=Captain: vassal. The first woman I took in my arms was my enemy, for she gave me ten years' 1.1 ::ARMY :=Captain: a Baptist; and the maids, a Salvation Army lass. It's no earthly good trying to 1.1 ::AROUND :=Captain: Oh, the rascal has been playing around with the maid again. The fellow's 2.1 ::AROUSING :=Doctor: something must be done, and without arousing his suspicions. Tell me, has the 2.3 ::AROUSING :=Captain: Your behaviour has succeeded in arousing my suspicions so much, that soon 1.4 ::ARRIVE :=Captain: grow up, so it's easier for us to arrive at some sort of an answer. 2.1 ::ARRIVED :=Doctor: you made a mistake when you said he arrived at his extraordinary conclusions 1.2 ::ARRIVES :=Captain: The moment he arrives, please. Naturally I don't want to 1.1 ::ARTIST :=Captain: of her; Laura wants her to be an artist; the governess wants to make her a 1.1 ::ARTIST :=Captain: I showed her efforts to a well-known artist, and he said they were only up to 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: Well, as you know, my dear brother-in-law, it hasn't 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: Well, not so much her confirmation, as her whole education. This house it full 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: have my old nurse here, treating me as if I still wore a bib. She's a dear old 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: twenty years she's been treating me as if I had one foot in the grave. 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: a minute. And you laugh, you wretch! As if it wasn't enough that I married your 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: always support herself -- at any rate as well as those poor schoolmasters who have 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: But the worst of it is, it looks to me as if they're deciding Bertha's future in 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: support herself -- at any rate as well as those poor schoolmasters who have to provide 1.1 ::AS :=Captain: you palm off your old stepmother on me as well. 1.1 ::AS :=Pastor: for the rest of its life. It isn't as if that boy could help to nurse it. Afterwards, 1.1 ::AS :=Pastor: special thing she was after, as soon as she'd got it, she used to give it back! 1.1 ::AS :=Pastor: was some special thing she was after, as soon as she'd got it, she used to give 1.1 ::AS :=Pastor: it wasn't the thing she wanted so much as getting her own way. 1.2 ::AS :=Captain: As the law stands, children must be brought 1.2 ::AS :=Laura: True -- just as my child's education is nothing to do 1.3 ::AS :=Captain: No, it's as you like. You say. 1.3 ::AS :=Doctor: Just as you like. 1.3 ::AS :=Doctor: that you should confide in me, but as a doctor, I must examine and investigate 1.3 ::AS :=Laura: No, I'm afraid they're not so good as we could wish. 1.3 ::AS :=Laura: serious; still, things aren't quite as they should be. 1.4 ::AS :=Bertha: to get away from here. So long as I can see you sometimes -- often. Oh, 1.4 ::AS :=Captain: they're made of the same elements as our earth. That's all I see. 1.4 ::AS :=Captain: one anxiety, while I have three -- as well as all hers. Don't you think I should 1.4 ::AS :=Captain: you women manage to treat a grown man as if he were a child? 1.4 ::AS :=Captain: anxiety, while I have three -- as well as all hers. Don't you think I should have 1.4 ::AS :=Captain: you believe that there are such things as spirits? 1.4 ::AS :=Laura: Oh, am I as powerful as that? 1.4 ::AS :=Laura: Oh, am I as powerful as that? 1.4 ::AS :=Nurse: Anyway, I'm not as unhappy as you, Mr Adolf. Humble your 1.4 ::AS :=Nurse: Anyway, I'm not as unhappy as you, Mr Adolf. Humble your heart, and 2.1 ::AS :=Bertha: song I've ever heard. And it seemed as if it came from the box- room -- you know, 2.1 ::AS :=Doctor: From what I could gather as we talked, I'm not entirely convinced 2.1 ::AS :=Doctor: There's one other point that strikes me as suspicious. He spoke about his correspondence 2.1 ::AS :=Laura: As if I didn't know that. 2.1 ::AS :=Nurse: Why yes -- you're as like as two peas. 2.1 ::AS :=Nurse: Why yes -- you're as like as two peas. 2.2 ::AS :=Captain: innocent -- as innocent, that is, as an indication of love can be, from a married 2.2 ::AS :=Captain: afflicted with doubts . . . I won't say suspicions, for, as a gentleman, I assume 2.2 ::AS :=Captain: he'd be believed? Good night, doctor. As you see, I'm quite calm, so you can safely 2.2 ::AS :=Captain: to make accusations -- or complaints, as they're so cleverly called, and perhaps 2.2 ::AS :=Captain: hint. Oh, it was perfectly innocent -- as innocent, that is, as an indication of 2.2 ::AS :=Doctor: No, as a matter of fact, I never was. And anyhow, 2.2 ::AS :=Doctor: are ill, it wouldn't stain your honour as a man to tell me the whole story. In fact 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: gifted being, listening to you as it I were your backward child. 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: is this: my reason is unaffected as you know, since I can carry out both my 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: Don't you see that I'm as helpless as a child? Can't you hear that I'm calling 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: pretty well under control, so long as my will remains more or less intact -- 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: But perhaps you want something else as well: you want to have power over the 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: So I grew used to looking up to you as a superior, gifted being, listening to 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: my unmanliness, I wanted to win you as a woman by being a man. 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: I see you have a high opinion of me, as they say. From these letters, it appears 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: You screamed "Keep away, keep away!" as if someone were trying to strangle you. 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: cooled by the same winter and summer as a woman. If you prick us, do we not bleed; 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: mankind, lived our lives as heedless as babies, full of fancies, ideas, and illusions; 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: since I can carry out both my duties as a soldier and my obligations as a father; 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: the rest of mankind, lived our lives as heedless as babies, full of fancies, ideas, 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: among ruins in bright moonlight, just as in the good old days. It had only been 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: me everything. Don't you see that I'm as helpless as a child? Can't you hear that 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: Can't you hear that I'm calling to you as if you were my mother? Won't you forget 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: duties as a soldier and my obligations as a father; I have my emotions pretty well 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: me to admire your most childish remark as if it were a flash of genius; you could 2.3 ::AS :=Captain: the sake of the past -- I implore you, as a wounded man begs for the death-blow 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: was always followed by remorse, as if my very blood were ashamed. The mother 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: you were like an overgrown child, as if you'd come into the world too soon, 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: I first came into your life, it was as a second mother. Your great strong body 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: altered, and you presented yourself as my lover. The pleasure of your embraces 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: You've fulfilled your function, now, as the -- unfortunately -- essential father 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: you've seen now that my intellect is as formidable as my will, you won't stay 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: now that my intellect is as formidable as my will, you won't stay and acknowledge 2.3 ::AS :=Laura: That's true, and that's why I loved you as if you were my own child. But you must 3.1 ::AS :=Captain: have you done to me? Woman! You're as cunning as the devil! Who'd have thought 3.1 ::AS :=Captain: done to me? Woman! You're as cunning as the devil! Who'd have thought you had 3.1 ::AS :=Captain: have to do to be sure? Marry first, so as to be accepted by society, then separate 3.1 ::AS :=Doctor: the violence must be considered as an outbreak of rage or of madness. 3.1 ::AS :=Doctor: any further outbreaks of violence. As you see, it has unusually long sleeves 3.1 ::AS :=Doctor: on the Captain from behind, as soon as I consider it necessary, so as to forestall 3.1 ::AS :=Doctor: all parties that he should be treated as insane at once. Where is the nurse? 3.1 ::AS :=Doctor: waistcoat on the Captain from behind, as soon as I consider it necessary, so as 3.1 ::AS :=Doctor: as soon as I consider it necessary, so as to forestall any further outbreaks of 3.1 ::AS :=Nojd: but I can't do it, Captain. It's just as if you were to ask me to hit the pastor. 3.1 ::AS :=Nurse: Very well, but it's as good as stealing. Just listen to him up 3.1 ::AS :=Nurse: Very well, but it's as good as stealing. Just listen to him up there, 3.1 ::AS :=Pastor: You know, I've always looked on him as a weed in our garden. 3.2 ::AS :=Captain: my mouth, it's as warm and soft as your arm, and it smells of vanilla like 3.2 ::AS :=Captain: to take hold of -- to cling to; as it is, there are only shadows, that hide 3.2 ::AS :=Captain: my mind and body to action -- but, as things are, my thoughts melt into thin 3.2 ::AS :=Captain: your soft shawl against my mouth, it's as warm and soft as your arm, and it smells 3.2 ::AS :=Laura: As for your suspicions about the child, they're 3.2 ::AS :=Laura: by an obscure desire to be rid of you, as something that stood in my way; if you 1.4 ::ASHAMED :=Nurse: You ought to be ashamed of yourself. But, in spite of everything, 2.3 ::ASHAMED :=Laura: by remorse, as if my very blood were ashamed. The mother had become the mistress. 3.1 ::ASIDE :=Doctor: Let us set aside convictions for the moment. Madam, 1.2 ::ASK :=Captain: Is there anything else you want to ask? 1.2 ::ASK :=Laura: is she to live -- if I'm allowed to ask? 1.4 ::ASK :=Bertha: No, you must ask her -- very nicely. She never takes any 1.4 ::ASK :=Captain: Will you ask her? 2.1 ::ASK :=Doctor: booksellers going unanswered. May I ask if -- out of misplaced kindness -- you 2.3 ::ASK :=Captain: beasts obey? I am a sick man, all I ask is pity; I surrender the symbols of my 3.1 ::ASK :=Doctor: -- garment outside. Would you kindly ask the nurse to come in. 3.1 ::ASK :=Nojd: Captain. It's just as if you were to ask me to hit the pastor. It's something 3.2 ::ASK :=Laura: I have harmed you unintentionally, I ask you to forgive me. 2.3 ::ASKED :=Captain: because we had no children, and he asked if you were expecting one. I couldn't 1.4 ::ASKING :=Laura: Come along, or they'll be. . . asking tiresome questions. Don't be difficult. 1.3 ::ASKS :=Laura: he gets it, he loses interest, and asks me to decide for him. 3.1 ::ASS :=Captain: he swore that she was innocent. Ass! Ass! How could he swear to that. You 3.1 ::ASS :=Captain: he swore that she was innocent. Ass! Ass! How could he swear to that. You see, 3.1 ::ASSAULT :=Laura: But if he's merely fined for assault, he might become violent again. 2.2 ::ASSUME :=Captain: . . . I won't say suspicions, for, as a gentleman, I assume your wife was above 1.1 ::ASSURE :=Captain: Not in the least. I assure you that will go ahead in the ordinary 1.3 ::ASSURE :=Doctor: I'm very sorry to hear this, madam. I assure you, you have all my sympathy. 1.1 ::ASTRAY :=Captain: so I suppose it was Emma who led you astray? 1.2 ::ASYLUM :=Captain: I hadn't, I should be in the lunatic asylum by now, or in the family vault. However, 3.1 ::ASYLUM :=Doctor: and a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have you to say about the Captain's 3.1 ::ASYLUM :=Pastor: a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. Laura, tell me: is your conscience 1.1 ::AT :=Captain: Not at all! I showed her efforts to a well-known 1.1 ::AT :=Captain: Well anyhow, the whole house is at sixes and sevens. Laura won't let Bertha 1.1 ::AT :=Captain: she can always support herself -- at any rate as well as those poor schoolmasters 1.1 ::AT :=Captain: that settles it -- in Laura's mind, at any rate! 1.1 ::AT :=Captain: In the kitchen again? Send him in here at once. 1.1 ::AT :=Captain: You might do him some good. I've sworn at him, I've even thrashed him, but it didn't 1.1 ::AT :=Nojd: was like this. We were having a dance at Gabriel's, you see, and Ludwig was saying 1.1 ::AT :=Pastor: So now you'd like me to preach at him. What effect d'you think God's word 1.2 ::AT :=Captain: Not at all. I suppose you want some housekeeping 1.2 ::AT :=Captain: compromise would mean that she stayed at the railway station -- half-way between 1.2 ::AT :=Captain: live in the town, you want her to live at home. Mathematically, a compromise would 1.2 ::AT :=Laura: me. Did my lords come to any decision at this evening's session? 1.3 ::AT :=Laura: Captain is out, but he should be back at any moment. 1.4 ::AT :=Bertha: the lamp down, and then I have to sit at the table and hold a pen over a sheet 1.4 ::AT :=Bertha: beautifully, but sometimes it won't go at all. When I'm tired, it doesn't, but I 1.4 ::AT :=Captain: Get out, woman -- at once. 1.4 ::AT :=Captain: Have the fast sleigh harnessed at once. 1.4 ::AT :=Captain: up, so it's easier for us to arrive at some sort of an answer. 1.4 ::AT :=Laura: odd, but I've never been able to look at a man without feeling that I'm his su 2.1 ::AT :=Doctor: a mistake when you said he arrived at his extraordinary conclusions about other 2.1 ::AT :=Laura: I don't know at all, unless it was that he had to interview 2.1 ::AT :=Nurse: In the attic? At this time of night? 2.2 ::AT :=Captain: that was a real summer swallow. I was at Lysenkil. There was a young married woman 2.2 ::AT :=Doctor: Not at all, Captain. You know, when I heard Mrs 2.3 ::AT :=Captain: -- though you've gnawed and gnawed at it so that soon it will slip its cogs 2.3 ::AT :=Captain: we're descended from apes, it must at least have been from two different species. 2.3 ::AT :=Captain: been waiting for, and that may come at any time. That brings you to the question 2.3 ::AT :=Captain: know why not. I became ill, and was at death's door. Once, when the fever had 3.1 ::AT :=Bertha: Do you know that you threw the lamp at Mama? 3.1 ::AT :=Captain: wind, like pestilence and fever. Look at me, so that I can see my soul in your 3.1 ::AT :=Captain: know him, by the way; he's now -- look at me, Doctor . . . no, straight in the face 3.1 ::AT :=Captain: then adopt the children. Then we could at least be sure they were our own adopted 3.1 ::AT :=Doctor: that he should be treated as insane at once. Where is the nurse? 3.1 ::AT :=Laura: Just look at all the things he kept here! 3.1 ::AT :=Laura: I'm glad to see you, Doctor; you, at any rate, will help me, won't you? Not 3.1 ::AT :=Nurse: little boy and I used to tuck you up at night and read you "Gentle Jesus"? Do 3.1 ::AT :=Pastor: not even your own conscience. Look at yourself in the glass! You dare not! 3.2 ::AT :=Captain: thin air, and my brain grinds away at nothing, till it catches fire. Give me 3.2 ::AT :=Captain: any foundation for them, that would at least be something to take hold of -- 3.2 ::AT :=Laura: Adolf -- look at me. Do you believe that I'm your enem 3.2 ::AT :=Laura: Is that all you have to say at this death-bed, Doctor? 3.1 ::ATE :=Captain: me, but she couldn't. I am Saturn, who ate his own children because it had been 3.1 ::ATHENE :=Captain: translation. Telemachus is speaking to Athene. "My mother indeed declares that he 3.1 ::ATTENTION :=Doctor: Now, pay attention, please. I want you to slip this 3.1 ::ATTENTION :=Nurse: All right, but you must pay attention, then. Do you remember that time 2.3 ::ATTESTED :=Laura: By means of this letter -- of which an attested copy is in the hands of the Board 2.1 ::ATTIC :=Bertha: I heard someone singing up in the attic. 2.1 ::ATTIC :=Nurse: In the attic? At this time of night? 2.1 ::AVALANCHE :=Doctor: and then they'd grow like an avalanche. Moreover by your action you have 1.3 ::AVOID :=Doctor: is one thing I must impress on you. Avoid bringing up any topic that is likely 1.3 ::AVOID :=Laura: You mean, avoid rousing his suspicions? 2.1 ::AVOID :=Doctor: like me to stay till he comes back? To avoid suspicion I could say that your mother 2.3 ::AVOID :=Captain: It rests with you whether you avoid it, or put your head in. 2.3 ::AWAKE :=Captain: You always had the advantage. If I was awake, you could hypnotize me so that I could 2.3 ::AWAKENING :=Captain: nap, with bad dreams, and there was no awakening. 1.1 ::AWAY :=Captain: I shall have to get her far away from here. 1.4 ::AWAY :=Bertha: to go to the town -- anywhere, to get away from here. So long as I can see you 1.4 ::AWAY :=Captain: Yes, old Margret -- talk away. You're the only one I can listen to 1.4 ::AWAY :=Laura: quite legitimate. So Bertha's to go away? 2.1 ::AWAY :=Nurse: to bed now -- and take the coffee-pot away, or the master'll be angry. 2.2 ::AWAY :=Captain: one or two books, and when she went away, surprisingly enough, she returned them. 2.3 ::AWAY :=Captain: to rest, thinking that I was chasing away some morbid fancy. I've heard you cry 2.3 ::AWAY :=Captain: any foundations in reality. Take that away and you wipe me out. 2.3 ::AWAY :=Captain: reading. You screamed "Keep away, keep away!" as if someone were trying to strangle 2.3 ::AWAY :=Captain: sitting up reading. You screamed "Keep away, keep away!" as if someone were trying 3.1 ::AWAY :=Captain: the best part of myself that I gave away. And now I want to die. Do what you 3.1 ::AWAY :=Captain: arm and half my brain, while I whither away and die, because it was the best part 3.1 ::AWAY :=Nurse: Well, I did tidy them away, but you just sit quietly here, and 3.1 ::AWAY :=Nurse: play a trick on you to get the knife away? You were a silly little boy, and we 3.2 ::AWAY :=Captain: into thin air, and my brain grinds away at nothing, till it catches fire. Give 3.2 ::AWAY :=Captain: -- or is it a goddess these days? Take away this cat that's lying on me -- take 3.2 ::AWAY :=Captain: rough lion-skin that you tried to take away from me. Omphale! Omphale! You cunning 3.2 ::AWAY :=Captain: this cat that's lying on me -- take it away! Give me my tunic -- put that over me. 2.3 ::BABIES :=Captain: lived our lives as heedless as babies, full of fancies, ideas, and illusions; 1.1 ::BABY :=Pastor: a girl penniless like that, with a baby? Don't you think so? Well? Doesn't it 1.2 ::BABY :=Captain: his grandmother ever since she was a baby. That's why I took him in -- because 1.4 ::BABY :=Nurse: Lord, what a baby you are! Of course you're the father 1.4 ::BABY :=Nurse: you think I can forget how you were my baby when you were little? 1.1 ::BACK :=Captain: And don't go back in the kitchen, you scoundrel. Well, 1.1 ::BACK :=Pastor: as she'd got it, she used to give it back! She'd say that it wasn't the thing 1.2 ::BACK :=Captain: goods, you can't expect to have them back and keep the money. 1.3 ::BACK :=Laura: The Captain is out, but he should be back at any moment. 1.4 ::BACK :=Captain: Don't expect me back before midnight! 1.4 ::BACK :=Nurse: and when he's in trouble, he'll come back to her again, like a good little ch 2.1 ::BACK :=Doctor: Would you like me to stay till he comes back? To avoid suspicion I could say that 2.1 ::BACK :=Laura: It's midnight, and he's not back yet. I'm afraid something terrible may 2.1 ::BACK :=Nurse: you want something, ma'am? Is master back? 3.1 ::BACK :=Doctor: sleeves that can be tied behind the back to restrict his movements. And here 3.1 ::BACK :=Nurse: nice and quiet while I button down the back". And then I'd say: "Get up, now, like 3.2 ::BACK :=Captain: My hand? When you've tied it behind my back? Omphale! Omphale! But I can feel your 1.3 ::BACKBONE :=Doctor: You see, madam, the will is the backbone of the mind; if it is affected, 2.3 ::BACKWARD :=Captain: listening to you as it I were your backward child. 1.1 ::BAD :=Captain: maid again. The fellow's a thoroughly bad lot. 1.2 ::BAD :=Captain: must keep accounts. Things are in a bad way with us, and if I should go bankrupt, 1.2 ::BAD :=Laura: It's not my fault if things are in a bad way. 2.3 ::BAD :=Captain: only been a little morning nap, with bad dreams, and there was no awakening. 3.1 ::BAD :=Bertha: I won't have you saying anything bad about Mama. 3.1 ::BAD :=Nurse: tell you lovely stories when you had bad dreams and couldn't sleep? Do you re 1.2 ::BANKRUPT :=Captain: a bad way with us, and if I should go bankrupt, I must be able to produce accounts, 1.1 ::BAPTIST :=Captain: make her a Methodist; old Margret, a Baptist; and the maids, a Salvation Army 1.4 ::BAPTISTS :=Captain: And you and the Baptists have found the only real faith. 1.1 ::BARN :=Nojd: then, Emma said "Let's go out to the barn." 2.3 ::BARRACKS :=Captain: I -- although I was the commander in barracks and on parade -- when I was with 2.3 ::BATTLE :=Laura: enemy. Love between the sexes is a battle. And don't imagine that I gave myself 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: Oh, you can be sure of that. The whole house is up in 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: I want her to be a teacher. Then, if she doesn't marry, 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: But -- well, it might be worth trying with him. Ah, Nojd, what 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: of her; Laura wants her to be an artist; the governess wants to make 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: Upon my soul, I shouldn't like to be the Magistrate who has to judge this case. 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: heaven knows, but she oughtn't to be here. 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: That's good. Do you think he might be on my side? 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: Yes, that's the chap. I wish you'd be kind enough to have a little talk to him. 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: suited to a man, when it would all be wasted if she ever did decide to marr 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: rage that I'm really afraid she might be ill. 1.1 ::BE :=Captain: you go? Do stay for supper -- it won't be anything very grand, but do stay; I'm 1.1 ::BE :=Nojd: That time, yes. But how's a man to be sure he's always been the only one? 1.1 ::BE :=Nojd: but, your Reverence, no one can ever be sure. And it's no joke slaving all your 1.1 ::BE :=Pastor: There's no need to be shy with me, my boy. 1.1 ::BE :=Pastor: but the boy's whole future might be ruined of he were dismissed from the 1.1 ::BE :=Pastor: thanks, my dear chap, I promised I'd be in to supper, and the old lady gets anxious 1.1 ::BE :=Pastor: And because she's your wife, she must be perfect! No, my dear chap, she's really 1.1 ::BE :=Pastor: girl with a child. I suppose you can't be forced to marry her, but you shall provide 1.1 ::BE :=Pastor: such a gift for painting that it would be almost a crime not to encourage it? 1.2 ::BE :=Captain: As the law stands, children must be brought up in their father's faith. 1.2 ::BE :=Captain: and if I should go bankrupt, I must be able to produce accounts, or they could 1.2 ::BE :=Captain: in -- because if I hadn't, I should be in the lunatic asylum by now, or in the 1.2 ::BE :=Captain: They say that's something you can never be sure of. 1.2 ::BE :=Laura: Then it must be cut! What was Nojd doing here? 1.2 ::BE :=Laura: How extraordinary! You can't be sure who a child's father is? 1.3 ::BE :=Captain: keep you any longer, Doctor; you must be tired. Goodbye, and I hope I shall see 1.3 ::BE :=Doctor: I'm sorry to be so late, but I've had some patients to 1.3 ::BE :=Doctor: Exactly -- these patients can be made to believe anything, because they 1.3 ::BE :=Doctor: Oh, of course. So you'll soon be able to tell us what's happening on J 1.3 ::BE :=Doctor: I promise you that I'll see what can be done. I sympathize with all my heart, 1.3 ::BE :=Laura: Really? Well, I shall be delighted if we, who are nearest to him, 1.3 ::BE :=Laura: wants me for something. I shan't be a moment -- Ah, here is Adolf. 1.3 ::BE :=Laura: things aren't quite as they should be. 1.3 ::BE :=Laura: is going. Now you know it all; you'll be able to judge for yourself when you see 1.3 ::BE :=Laura: we, who are nearest to him, should all be proved wrong. 1.3 ::BE :=Laura: you. The Captain is out, but he should be back at any moment. 1.4 ::BE :=Bertha: But Papa, you must be kind to Mama, you know. She does cry such 1.4 ::BE :=Bertha: Oh then everything'll be tiresome again. Why can't you two -- 1.4 ::BE :=Captain: Margret; if you desert me now, you'd be doing me a great wrong. You see they're 1.4 ::BE :=Captain: know what, but whatever it is, it'll be evil. What's that? Who screamed? 1.4 ::BE :=Laura: That will be interesting. 1.4 ::BE :=Laura: That wouldn't be difficult. Would you like me to? 1.4 ::BE :=Laura: Come along, or they'll be. . . asking tiresome questions. Don't 1.4 ::BE :=Laura: since it's her future that's to be decided. 1.4 ::BE :=Laura: or they'll be. . . asking tiresome questions. Don't be difficult. All right, 1.4 ::BE :=Laura: her speak, because you thought she'd be on my side. 1.4 ::BE :=Nurse: You ought to be ashamed of yourself. But, in spite of 1.4 ::BE :=Nurse: God help us! What will be the end of this? 1.4 ::BE :=Nurse: that. But I do think you ought to be able to agree. 2.1 ::BE :=Bertha: Then we shan't be able to keep Christmas Eve. But if he's 2.1 ::BE :=Bertha: Eve. But if he's ill, how can he be up? 2.1 ::BE :=Captain: he was the only one? No, he couldn't be, even though you were sure. That's the 2.1 ::BE :=Doctor: obvious symptoms. What's done can't be undone, unfortunately -- yet the treatment 2.1 ::BE :=Doctor: I must have misheard you. One has to be careful about making an accusation that 2.1 ::BE :=Doctor: can't go on like this; something must be done, and without arousing his suspicions. 2.1 ::BE :=Doctor: must have found how infuriating it can be when one's dearest wishes are thwarted 2.1 ::BE :=Laura: Yes, that would be better, then Margret can sit here. She 2.1 ::BE :=Laura: knew how anxious I am. But wouldn't it be better to tell him outright what you think 2.1 ::BE :=Nurse: the coffee-pot away, or the master'll be angry. 2.1 ::BE :=Nurse: gone twelve o'clock, and you've got to be up in the morning. 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: That is to say, paternity cannot be proved. 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: But since I have the misfortune to be a man, I can only do like the Romans, 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: husband were to come to life, he'd be believed? Good night, doctor. As you see, 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: said it was a cold. There seems to be quite a difference of opinion about the 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: cleverly called, and perhaps I should be able to give you the full diagnosis and, 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: that is, as an indication of love can be, from a married woman to a strange man 2.2 ::BE :=Captain: Is it true that further foals may also be striped, even if the next sire is a s 2.2 ::BE :=Doctor: Captain, you should be careful not to let your thoughts take 2.2 ::BE :=Doctor: Far from it. The pity is that we can't be friends. Good night. 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: When women grow old and cease to be women, they grow hair on their chins; 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: so much, that soon my reason will be clouded and my mind will begin to wander. 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: in science. And now, when I should be reaching out my hand to gather the fruits 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: more to your advantage that I should be sane or insane. Think it over. If I go 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: leave the Service, and where will you be then? If I die my life insurance will 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: How can it matter to you, when you can be quite sure that I shall never divulge 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: of men when they grow old and cease to be men. Those who once crowed were no longer 2.3 ::BE :=Captain: probably because the former case can't be proved, while the latter can. 2.3 ::BE :=Laura: And the stronger will be in the right? 2.3 ::BE :=Laura: Cry then, child, and your mother will be with you again. Do you remember that, 2.3 ::BE :=Laura: convince you. In fact, you want it to be true? 2.3 ::BE :=Laura: said that it's not true, you wouldn't be convinced, but if I said it is, that would 3.1 ::BE :=Bertha: But I don't want that, I want to be myself. 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: Be quiet! I don't wish to speak to you -- 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: It's all to be found here -- in every one of these books. 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: they would eat him. To eat or to be eaten -- that is the question. Unless 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: else would be possible -- you must be. Anything else was just a morbid idea 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: my daughter! Is she mine? We can't be sure. Do you know what we'd have to do 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: Do you know what we'd have to do to be sure? Marry first, so as to be accepted 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: my child -- yes, nothing else would be possible -- you must be. Anything else 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: -- is my father; but I myself cannot be sure; since no man ever yet knew his own 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: -- not I! Who then, who? You seem to be well informed -- who told you? That I 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: do to be sure? Marry first, so as to be accepted by society, then separate directly 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: the children. Then we could at least be sure they were our own adopted children, 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: already shown me your teeth. But don't be afraid, my darling child, I shan't do 3.1 ::BE :=Captain: dead and buried, and what's done can't be undone. I used to know him, by the way; 3.1 ::BE :=Doctor: me. You, madam, should really be the one to do it, but I fear that he mistrusts 3.1 ::BE :=Doctor: of all parties that he should be treated as insane at once. Where is the 3.1 ::BE :=Doctor: no firm convictions about what would be best for your family. What do you say, 3.1 ::BE :=Doctor: question is whether the violence must be considered as an outbreak of rage or of 3.1 ::BE :=Doctor: And if he's sent to prison, he'll soon be out again. Therefore we feel it's in the 3.1 ::BE :=Doctor: it has unusually long sleeves that can be tied behind the back to restrict his movements. 3.1 ::BE :=Laura: Be quiet, I'm writing. 3.1 ::BE :=Laura: Mine? How could I be to blame if a man goes out his mind? 3.1 ::BE :=Laura: won't you? Not that there's much to be done, I'm afraid. Do you hear how he's 3.1 ::BE :=Nurse: God have mercy on us! What'll be the end of this? 3.1 ::BE :=Nurse: the Saviour said, "Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise". 3.1 ::BE :=Nurse: and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. And then I'd take 3.1 ::BE :=Pastor: It's hard to say -- there'll be a scandal either way. 3.1 ::BE :=Pastor: But that's appalling. He must be completely mad. What are we to do now 3.1 ::BE :=Pastor: off your own leg than let yourself be caught. You're like a master-thief -- 3.2 ::BE :=Captain: for them, that would at least be something to take hold of -- to cling 3.2 ::BE :=Captain: Good night, Margret! And blessed be thou among women. 3.2 ::BE :=Captain: was my enemy, when she taught me to be her vassal. The first woman I took in 3.2 ::BE :=Captain: my mortal enemy, for you never let me be till you had me lying dead. 3.2 ::BE :=Laura: I was swayed by an obscure desire to be rid of you, as something that stood in 3.2 ::BEARER :=Captain: of this love -- in bonds payable to bearer, without joint liability? Who is the 3.2 ::BEARER :=Captain: without joint liability? Who is the bearer when the crash comes? Who is the physical 2.2 ::BEARING :=Captain: books, I came across a visiting card, bearing a pretty obvious hint. Oh, it was 2.3 ::BEASTS :=Captain: whose word of command both men and beasts obey? I am a sick man, all I ask is 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Captain: and the thrushes -- lovely -- lovely! Think how beautiful life was, and 1.4 ::BEAUTIFULLY :=Bertha: it's me doing it. Sometimes it works beautifully, but sometimes it won't go at 1.4 ::BEAUTIFULLY :=Bertha: This evening I thought I was doing it beautifully, but Grandmama said it was all 2.1 ::BECAME :=Laura: and when I took the girl's part, he became excited and said that no one could 2.3 ::BECAME :=Captain: born without a will. When you and I became one I thought I was completing myself; 2.3 ::BECAME :=Captain: had no children -- you know why not. I became ill, and was at death's door. Once, 3.2 ::BECAME :=Captain: No, it was iron, iron, before it became tinsel. In the olden days it was the 3.2 ::BECAME :=Captain: for the love I gave her. My daughter became my enemy, when she had to choose between 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Pastor: And because she's your wife, she must be perfect! 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Pastor: Then may heaven help you, my dear chap, because I can't see much help for you, and 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: Because I wasn't allowed to eat or sleep 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: He has the rights simply because he takes on the responsibilities 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: I didn't. The governess wanted him because he was a Pietist; and old Margret, 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: he was a Pietist; and old Margret, because she'd known his grandmother ever 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: a baby. That's why I took him in -- because if I hadn't, I should be in the lunatic 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: you'd got him in here. You wanted him because your brother wanted to get rid of 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: get rid of him; your mother wanted him because I didn't. The governess wanted him 1.3 ::BECAUSE :=Doctor: can be made to believe anything, because they are so very receptive. 1.4 ::BECAUSE :=Bertha: Because then Mama tells lies too. 1.4 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: on my side. I want you to help me, because I feel that something's going to 1.4 ::BECAUSE :=Laura: Because a mother's nearer to the child -- 1.4 ::BECAUSE :=Laura: You were afraid to let her speak, because you thought she'd be on my side. 1.4 ::BECAUSE :=Nurse: think the worst of everyone. It's because you haven't the true Faith, you see, 1.4 ::BECAUSE :=Nurse: understand it, but I suppose it's because you are all women's children, every 2.1 ::BECAUSE :=Doctor: you on that particular point, because I thought I must have misheard you. 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: Because the child help us together, but the 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: Yes, oddly enough -- probably because the former case can't be proved, 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: a man complain, or a soldier cry? Because it's unmanly. What make it unman 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: borne all this without complaining because I imagined that I was the father 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: that you couldn't inherit anything because we had no children, and he asked 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: I shall not appeal to your feelings, because you have none -- I appeal to your 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: you. I knocked on the wall because -- because I didn't want to hear any more. I'd 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: to strangle you. I knocked on the wall because -- because I didn't want to hear 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Laura: for you, and you must go. You must go because, though you've seen now that my intellect 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: Bertha, dear, darling child -- because you are my child -- yes, nothing 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: brain, while I whither away and die, because it was the best part of myself that 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: I am Saturn, who ate his own children because it had been foretold that otherwise 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Doctor: Because the patient mistrusts me. You, madam, 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Nurse: boy, and we had to play tricks on you, because you wouldn't believe we knew what 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Captain: didn't want to bring me into the world because my birth would bring her pain, she 1.1 ::BECOME :=Captain: edition of myself. But I will not become a pander for my own daughter, and 2.3 ::BECOME :=Captain: help us together, but the bond has become a chain. How has that happened? I've 2.3 ::BECOME :=Laura: blood were ashamed. The mother had become the mistress. Ugh! 3.1 ::BECOME :=Captain: then separate directly after, and become lover and mistress, and then adopt 3.1 ::BECOME :=Doctor: I'm convinced that he has become violent, but the question is whether 3.1 ::BECOME :=Laura: merely fined for assault, he might become violent again. 3.1 ::BECOME :=Pastor: So I'm to become the guardian of that free- thinker. 1.4 ::BECOMES :=Captain: talk about God and love, your voice becomes hard, an your eyes fill with hatred. 2.3 ::BECOMES :=Captain: hair on their chins; I wonder what becomes of men when they grow old and cease 3.2 ::BECOMES :=Captain: partner, and violates the friend. What becomes of love -- healthy physical love? 2.1 ::BED :=Captain: Are you still up? Go to bed. 2.1 ::BED :=Nurse: of illness he doesn't have to go to bed. Ssh -- there's someone out in the hall. 2.1 ::BED :=Nurse: bless my soul, Bertha, aren't you in bed yet? 2.1 ::BED :=Nurse: there's someone out in the hall. Go to bed now -- and take the coffee-pot away, 2.2 ::BED :=Captain: of opinion about the case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit down, doctor. 2.2 ::BED :=Captain: quite calm, so you can safely go to bed! 3.1 ::BED :=Captain: What's that? Go to bed when he's just been dressed? Damnation! 3.1 ::BED :=Captain: we, doctor? How was your marriage bed? Wasn't there a young subaltern in your 3.1 ::BED :=Nurse: And then I'd say "Now you must go to bed". 1.1 ::BEEN :=Captain: Oh, the rascal has been playing around with the maid again. 1.1 ::BEEN :=Captain: with him. Ah, Nojd, what have you been up to now? 1.1 ::BEEN :=Captain: head? For the last twenty years she's been treating me as if I had one foot in 1.1 ::BEEN :=Nojd: But how's a man to be sure he's always been the only one? 1.3 ::BEEN :=Doctor: on mineralogy are masterly; I've been most impressed when I've read them, 1.3 ::BEEN :=Laura: Yes, we've been lucky enough to escape anything serious; 1.3 ::BEEN :=Laura: Changeable? We've been married for twenty years now, and he's 1.3 ::BEEN :=Laura: you don't believe me, Doctor. And I've been letting you into our family secret . 1.4 ::BEEN :=Bertha: all out of Stagnelius, and that I'd been cheating her, and she go terrible a 1.4 ::BEEN :=Captain: I've forgotten it, dear? You've been like a mother to me. Up to now, you've 1.4 ::BEEN :=Captain: hers. Don't you think I should have been something more in the world than a poor 1.4 ::BEEN :=Laura: Yes. It's odd, but I've never been able to look at a man without feeling 1.4 ::BEEN :=Laura: how do you know that I haven't been unfaithful to you? 1.4 ::BEEN :=Laura: nearer to the child -- since it's been discovered that no one can tell for 1.4 ::BEEN :=Laura: instance -- when was Bertha born? We'd been married three years -- 2.1 ::BEEN :=Doctor: If he were to discover that you've been secretly meddling in his affairs, he 2.2 ::BEEN :=Captain: and told us that her sweetheart had been drowned. We sympathized with her, and 2.2 ::BEEN :=Captain: you think he would have spoken if he'd been alive? And do you suppose that if any 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: my career and promotion, I've been racked and tortured, I've endured sleepless 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: From them it appears that you've been intercepting both my incoming and outgoing 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: from apes, it must at least have been from two different species. Certainly 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: as in the good old days. It had only been a little morning nap, with bad dreams, 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: appears that for some time now you've been setting my former friends against me 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: the call, so that when it should have been sunrise, we found ourselves sitting 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: must thrash things out. Sit down. I've been to the post-office this evening to collect 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: sanity. What's more, your efforts have been successful, since there's hardly anyone, 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: suspect, and perhaps condemn you. We'd been married for two years, and had no children 2.3 ::BEEN :=Captain: the onset of the madness that you have been waiting for, and that may come at any 2.3 ::BEEN :=Laura: You should have been a poet, you know. 2.3 ::BEEN :=Laura: has all this life and death struggle been about except power? 3.1 ::BEEN :=Bertha: Yes, you did! Suppose she's been hurt. 3.1 ::BEEN :=Captain: ate his own children because it had been foretold that otherwise they would eat 3.1 ::BEEN :=Captain: so different about it? Haven't they been laying their hands on me? 3.1 ::BEEN :=Captain: What's that? Go to bed when he's just been dressed? Damnation! What have you done 3.1 ::BEEN :=Laura: Yes, my dear. I've never been through anything like this last twenty-four 3.1 ::BEEN :=Pastor: Good evening, Laura, I've been out all day, I expect they told you; 3.2 ::BEEN :=Captain: just what is so terrible. If there had been any foundation for them, that would 3.2 ::BEEN :=Laura: my actions -- well, there may have been one, but I knew nothing about it. I've 3.2 ::BEEN :=Laura: even if I am not. You're existence has been like a stone on my heart, weighing and 1.1 ::BEFORE :=Captain: martyr -- but we've had all that out before. Good night -- remember me to your 1.3 ::BEFORE :=Doctor: examine and investigate for myself before I make my diagnosis. Does the Captain 1.3 ::BEFORE :=Laura: No. You must hear what I have to say before you see him. 1.4 ::BEFORE :=Captain: Don't expect me back before midnight! 1.4 ::BEFORE :=Laura: we'll stop. But think very carefully before you decide to do anything. Above all, 2.1 ::BEFORE :=Doctor: has the Captain ever had these fancies before? 2.1 ::BEFORE :=Doctor: must have some relation to what's gone before. 2.2 ::BEFORE :=Captain: foot; after the fourth, her knee, and before morning, I had consoled her. 2.3 ::BEFORE :=Captain: to listen. Now I remember the night before last -- it was Bertha's birthday. 2.3 ::BEFORE :=Captain: never thought about that sort of thing before, but now I begin to remember incidents 2.3 ::BEFORE :=Laura: What can I do? I swear before God and all that I hold sacred that 3.1 ::BEFORE :=Doctor: and when I give the order, but not before. I have the -- garment outside. Would 3.2 ::BEFORE :=Captain: it was tinsel. No, it was iron, iron, before it became tinsel. In the olden days 3.2 ::BEFORE :=Laura: that you yourself have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, I feel myself 1.1 ::BEG :=Nojd: Beg pardon, Captain, but I can't very well 3.1 ::BEGAN :=Laura: It began with those absurd ideas of his about 3.1 ::BEGETTER :=Captain: since no man ever yet knew his own begetter." And it was Penelope, the most 2.3 ::BEGIN :=Captain: will be clouded and my mind will begin to wander. That means the onset of 2.3 ::BEGIN :=Captain: that sort of thing before, but now I begin to remember incidents that render you 3.1 ::BEGIN :=Pastor: Tell me, how did it all begin? I've heard so many different stor 1.4 ::BEGINNING :=Captain: You've seen it all from the very beginning. 2.1 ::BEGINNING :=Laura: I did all I could to calm him, but I'm beginning to think that he's beyond help 2.3 ::BEGINNING :=Captain: a crime lying buried here that's beginning to stink -- and what a hellish 2.3 ::BEGS :=Captain: -- I implore you, as a wounded man begs for the death-blow -- tell me everything. 2.3 ::BEHAVIOUR :=Captain: Your behaviour has succeeded in arousing my suspicions 3.1 ::BEHAVIOUR :=Doctor: have you to say about the Captain's behaviour? 1.1 ::BEHAVIOUR'S :=Pastor: it strike you that that sort of behaviour's . . . well . . . a bit . . . 3.1 ::BEHIND :=Doctor: long sleeves that can be tied behind the back to restrict his movements. 3.1 ::BEHIND :=Doctor: this waistcoat on the Captain from behind, as soon as I consider it necessary, 3.2 ::BEHIND :=Captain: My hand? When you've tied it behind my back? Omphale! Omphale! But I can 3.2 ::BEHIND :=Laura: stood in my way; if you see some plan behind my actions -- well, there may have 1.1 ::BEING :=Captain: sheer spite. They drop hints about men being made to see that women can do this, 2.1 ::BEING :=Doctor: an accusation that could lead to a man being certified. 2.2 ::BEING :=Captain: Didn't being a father sometimes make you feel ridiculous? 2.3 ::BEING :=Captain: up to you as a superior, gifted being, listening to you as it I were your 2.3 ::BEING :=Captain: I wanted to win you as a woman by being a man. 3.1 ::BEING :=Laura: those absurd ideas of his about not being Bertha's father, and it ended with 3.1 ::BELIEF :=Captain: how it is! But I know that a man's belief can destroy him -- that's what I 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: are in league against me! Would you believe it, for the last two months, not 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: in Paris would send me the books! I believe all the booksellers in the world 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: for intensive research. Still I really believe I'm on the verge of a discovery. 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Doctor: I can't believe it. The Captain's papers on mineralogy 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Doctor: I'm quite sure, madam, that you believe what you're telling me. 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Doctor: -- these patients can be made to believe anything, because they are so very 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Laura: Don't you believe what I'm telling you? 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Laura: If it's true? Then you don't believe me, Doctor. And I've been letting 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Bertha: say Mama tells lies, then I'll never believe you again. 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: I can believe a lot about you, but not that. Nor 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: Do you believe that there are such things as sp 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: I'm sorry, Margret; but, believe me, you're the only one in this house 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: father. Tell me, Margret, you do believe that, don't you? 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: I didn't say so. That's why you must believe me when I tell you for your own good, 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: lot about you, but not that. Nor do I believe that you'd talk about it if it were 1.4 ::BELIEVE :=Nurse: Now, Mr Adolf, you believe I want to help, don't you? 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: For me, since I don't believe in a life to come, my child was my 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Laura: I believe you want to prove me guilty so that 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: two bumps up there. Upon my soul I believe he's turned pale! Oh yes, it's only 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: what I mean. Tell me, Jonas, do you believe that you're the father of your children? 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: -- he's a major of Dragoons. Bless me if I don't believe you have horns too! 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Doctor: I believe, Pastor, your own ideas are even 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Nurse: tricks on you, because you wouldn't believe we knew what was best for you. "Give 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: Yes, I do! I believe that you're all my enemies. My mother, 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Captain: us out of our armour, too, making believe it was tinsel. No, it was iron, iron, 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Doctor: No judgement. No indictment, even! You believe there's a god who rules man's destiny, 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Laura: Adolf -- look at me. Do you believe that I'm your enemy? 2.2 ::BELIEVED :=Captain: husband were to come to life, he'd be believed? Good night, doctor. As you see, 2.3 ::BELIEVES :=Captain: from the Colonel to the cook, who believes me sane. Now, the truth about my 3.1 ::BELIEVES :=Captain: One never know anything -- one only believes -- isn't that so, Jonas? One believes, 3.1 ::BELIEVES :=Captain: believes -- isn't that so, Jonas? One believes, and one is saved. Yes, that's how 3.1 ::BELONG :=Captain: is the Kingdom of Heaven; children belong to Heaven. 2.1 ::BELOW :=Nurse: blow down: "Ah, what is our life below? Pain and sorrow, grief and woe. Even 3.1 ::BELOW :=Captain: comes with a knife and cuts them down below the graft, so that now I'm only half 2.1 ::BENEATH :=Nurse: that upon this earth draws breath To earth must fall beneath his doom, Sorrow 1.3 ::BERLIN :=Captain: working along the same lines in Berlin. Still, that isn't what we were going 1.1 ::BERTHA :=Captain: at sixes and sevens. Laura won't let Bertha go, and I can't let her stay in this 1.1 ::BERTHA :=Pastor: What is your plan for Bertha that's caused so much argument? Can't 1.2 ::BERTHA :=Captain: I and my household have in common. Bertha is to live in town; she'll leave in 1.4 ::BERTHA :=Captain: -- encroaching on my rights. Leave us, Bertha. 1.4 ::BERTHA :=Laura: Have you told Bertha? 1.4 ::BERTHA :=Laura: and place; for instance -- when was Bertha born? We'd been married three years 1.4 ::BERTHA :=Laura: since we have different ideas, surely Bertha might have the casting vote. 1.4 ::BERTHA :=Laura: telling the truth just now when I said Bertha was my child and not yours. Suppose 2.1 ::BERTHA :=Nurse: Why, bless my soul, Bertha, aren't you in bed yet? 2.1 ::BERTHA :=Nurse: on this house. What did you hear, Bertha? 3.1 ::BERTHA :=Captain: Bertha, dear, darling child -- because you 1.1 ::BERTHA'S :=Captain: it looks to me as if they're deciding Bertha's future in there out of sheer spite. 1.1 ::BERTHA'S :=Pastor: talking about, when this unfortunate business interrupted us? Bertha's confirmation, 1.4 ::BERTHA'S :=Captain: no woman is born of man. But then I am Bertha's father. Tell me, Margret, you do 1.4 ::BERTHA'S :=Laura: Ah, Bertha's in here! Then perhaps we can hear 1.4 ::BERTHA'S :=Laura: very simple, and quite legitimate. So Bertha's to go away? 1.4 ::BERTHA'S :=Laura: Simply that you don't know that you are Bertha's father. 2.1 ::BERTHA'S :=Captain: is there all the same. Do you think Bertha's like me? 2.3 ::BERTHA'S :=Captain: About Bertha's parentage. 2.3 ::BERTHA'S :=Captain: the night before last -- it was Bertha's birthday. It was between two and 2.3 ::BERTHA'S :=Laura: all that I hold sacred that you are Bertha's father. 3.1 ::BERTHA'S :=Laura: absurd ideas of his about not being Bertha's father, and it ended with his throwing 3.1 ::BERTHA'S :=Pastor: and here's your christening cap; and Bertha's rattle -- and your letters and this 3.2 ::BESIDE :=Captain: hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside me -- here, on the chair. That's it. 1.1 ::BESIDES :=Captain: have to decide. I've done all I can. Besides, it's not really my affair. All right, 1.4 ::BESIDES :=Laura: I'm simply applying your own doctrine. Besides, how do you know that I haven't been 2.1 ::BESIDES :=Laura: always waits for him when he's out; besides, she's the only one who has any influence 1.4 ::BEST :=Captain: dear, I do, but you don't know what is best for me. You see, it's not enough for 1.4 ::BEST :=Nurse: old Margret loves her great big boy best; and when he's in trouble, he'll come 3.1 ::BEST :=Captain: away and die, because it was the best part of myself that I gave away. And 3.1 ::BEST :=Doctor: again. Therefore we feel it's in the best interests of all parties that he should 3.1 ::BEST :=Doctor: firm convictions about what would be best for your family. What do you say, P 3.1 ::BEST :=Nurse: you wouldn't believe we knew what was best for you. "Give me that snake," I said, 3.2 ::BEST :=Captain: or a mistress's, but a mother's is best. 1.1 ::BETTER :=Captain: You'd better make a clean breast of it -- otherwise, 1.1 ::BETTER :=Captain: in someone else's house -- suits you better! 1.1 ::BETTER :=Captain: comes a young whippersnapper who knows better, and he says she shows superb talent; 1.3 ::BETTER :=Captain: Thank you; that's better. Do forgive me, Doctor, but nothing 1.3 ::BETTER :=Doctor: Hadn't it better wait till I've had the pleasure of 2.1 ::BETTER :=Laura: Yes, that would be better, then Margret can sit here. She always 2.1 ::BETTER :=Laura: how anxious I am. But wouldn't it be better to tell him outright what you think 3.1 ::BETTER :=Captain: You can't get the better of a woman, eh? 3.1 ::BETTER :=Captain: on talking, Margret; it makes my head better. Go on talking. 3.1 ::BETTER :=Pastor: there? A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. Laura, tell 1.1 ::BETWEEN :=Captain: house is up in arms already, and, between ourselves, the other side's none 1.2 ::BETWEEN :=Captain: at the railway station -- half-way between the two. It's one of those knots 2.3 ::BETWEEN :=Captain: Certainly there's no resemblance between us. 2.3 ::BETWEEN :=Captain: -- it was Bertha's birthday. It was between two and three in the morning and 2.3 ::BETWEEN :=Laura: while the woman was your enemy. Love between the sexes is a battle. And don't 3.2 ::BETWEEN :=Captain: my enemy, when she had to choose between me and you. And you, my wife, you 2.1 ::BEYOND :=Laura: but I'm beginning to think that he's beyond help. 1.1 ::BIB :=Captain: here, treating me as if I still wore a bib. She's a dear old soul, heaven knows, 1.4 ::BIG :=Nurse: old Margret loves her great big boy best; and when he's in trouble, he'll 3.1 ::BIG :=Nurse: Do you remember that time you took the big carving-knife to make boats with, and 3.1 ::BIG :=Pastor: What's that big paper there? A receipt for a grave. Well, 3.2 ::BIRCHWOODS :=Captain: you were young, Laura, and we used to walk in the birchwoods among the primroses 3.2 ::BIRTH :=Captain: to bring me into the world because my birth would bring her pain, she was my enemy: 2.3 ::BIRTHDAY :=Captain: night before last -- it was Bertha's birthday. It was between two and three in 1.1 ::BIT :=Pastor: she's my own sister, she was always a bit tiresome. 1.1 ::BIT :=Pastor: you that that sort of behaviour's . . . well . . . a bit . . . 1.1 ::BIT :=Pastor: look after yourself, Adolf, you seem a bit on edge. 3.1 ::BITE :=Nurse: me that snake," I said, "or it'll bite!" And you let go of it there and then. 3.1 ::BITE :=Pastor: like a fox in a trap, you'd rather bite off your own leg than let yourself be 2.3 ::BLACK :=Captain: a hellish crime it is! You women pity black slaves and set them free, but you keep 1.1 ::BLAME :=Captain: You'd like to put the blame on Ludwig? Is that it? 1.1 ::BLAME :=Nojd: How am I to know who's to blame? 3.1 ::BLAME :=Laura: Mine? How could I be to blame if a man goes out his mind? 3.2 ::BLAME :=Captain: but how does it help me? And who is to blame? A spiritual marriage, perhaps? In 3.2 ::BLANK :=Captain: hitting the air, or a sham fight with blank cartridges. A mortal truth would have 2.3 ::BLEED :=Captain: as a woman. If you prick us, do we not bleed; of you tickle us, do we not laugh; 1.1 ::BLESS :=Nojd: God bless you, Captain. 2.1 ::BLESS :=Nurse: Why, bless my soul, Bertha, aren't you in bed 2.1 ::BLESS :=Nurse: Good night, child -- and God bless you. 3.1 ::BLESS :=Captain: . . no, straight in the face -- he's a major of Dragoons. Bless me if I don't believe 3.2 ::BLESSED :=Captain: -- so tired. Good night, Margret! And blessed be thou among women. 2.3 ::BLOOD :=Laura: followed by remorse, as if my very blood were ashamed. The mother had become 3.1 ::BLOOD'S :=Pastor: well, I won't say anything. After all, blood's thicker than water. 2.1 ::BLOW :=Nurse: night too, I'm sure the chimneys'll blow down: "Ah, what is our life below? Pain 2.2 ::BOARD :=Captain: roused my suspicions. I was once on board a steamer, sitting with some friends 2.3 ::BOARD :=Laura: attested copy is in the hands of the Board of Guardians. 3.1 ::BOATS :=Nurse: you took the big carving-knife to make boats with, and how I came in and had to 1.4 ::BODIES :=Captain: stones that fall from other heavenly bodies. What I do is to examine then, and 2.1 ::BODIES :=Doctor: conclusions about other heavenly bodies by means of a microscope. Now that 2.3 ::BODY :=Laura: as a second mother. Your great strong body had no fibre, you were like an overgrown 3.2 ::BODY :=Captain: my resistance, and roused my mind and body to action -- but, as things are, my 2.2 ::BOILERS :=Captain: hundred mark varies with different boilers, if you see what I mean. However, 2.2 ::BOILERS :=Captain: use the word "unhealthy". Remember all boilers burst when their pressure-gauge reaches 2.3 ::BOND :=Captain: the child help us together, but the bond has become a chain. How has that happened? 3.2 ::BONDS :=Captain: what is the issue of this love -- in bonds payable to bearer, without joint liability? 3.1 ::BOOK :=Captain: all. Here it is in the Odyssey -- Book I, line 215; page 6 in the Uppsala translation. 1.3 ::BOOKS :=Captain: booksellers in Paris would send me the books! I believe all the booksellers in the 1.3 ::BOOKS :=Doctor: nothing very odd in a scholar buying books. 1.3 ::BOOKS :=Laura: Whole crates of books that he never reads. 2.2 ::BOOKS :=Captain: months later, in one of those very books, I came across a visiting card, bearing 2.2 ::BOOKS :=Captain: or so I thought. I lent her one or two books, and when she went away, surprisingly 3.1 ::BOOKS :=Captain: by the way, that I can still read my books. Ah, Jonas, are you here? And the doctor, 3.1 ::BOOKS :=Captain: be found here -- in every one of these books. So I wasn't mad after all. Here it 1.3 ::BOOKSELLERS :=Captain: has happened. If only those wretched booksellers in Paris would send me the books! 1.3 ::BOOKSELLERS :=Captain: send me the books! I believe all the booksellers in the world are in league against 2.1 ::BOOKSELLERS :=Doctor: about his correspondence with the booksellers going unanswered. May I ask if 1.4 ::BORN :=Captain: While no woman is born of man. But then I am Bertha's father. 1.4 ::BORN :=Laura: place; for instance -- when was Bertha born? We'd been married three years -- 2.3 ::BORN :=Captain: and mother never wanted me, so I was born without a will. When you and I became 2.3 ::BORNE :=Captain: live it again through your child. I've borne all this without complaining because 2.3 ::BOTH :=Captain: as you know, since I can carry out both my duties as a soldier and my obligations 2.3 ::BOTH :=Captain: appears that you've been intercepting both my incoming and outgoing mail. The consequence 2.3 ::BOTH :=Captain: man -- a soldier whose word of command both men and beasts obey? I am a sick man, 3.1 ::BOTH :=Nurse: and say "In with your arms now -- both of them!" And then I'd say, "Now sit 1.4 ::BOTHER :=Nurse: meet the mistress half-way in all this bother over the child? Think how a mother 1.3 ::BOUND :=Laura: in family life that one is in honour bound to keep from the world, out of self-respect 2.1 ::BOX :=Bertha: And it seemed as if it came from the box- room -- you know, on the left, where 1.1 ::BOY :=Pastor: I agree, but it's hard luck on the boy too. I mean, suppose he's not the father. 1.1 ::BOY :=Pastor: There's no need to be shy with me, my boy. 1.1 ::BOY :=Pastor: rest of its life. It isn't as if that boy could help to nurse it. Afterwards, the 1.4 ::BOY :=Nurse: old Margret loves her great big boy best; and when he's in trouble, he'll 3.1 ::BOY :=Nurse: I'd say: "Get up, now, like a good boy, and walk across the room, so that I 3.1 ::BOY :=Nurse: knife away? You were a silly little boy, and we had to play tricks on you, because 3.1 ::BOY :=Nurse: remember when you were my dear little boy and I used to tuck you up at night and 1.1 ::BOY'S :=Captain: has to judge this case. Probably the boy's not altogether innocent -- we'll never 1.1 ::BOY'S :=Pastor: with some respectable family, but the boy's whole future might be ruined of he 3.1 ::BRAIN :=Captain: on growing, with my arm and half my brain, while I whither away and die, because 3.1 ::BRAIN :=Captain: gone? I grafted my right arm, half my brain, and half my marrow, onto another stem, 3.2 ::BRAIN :=Captain: my thoughts melt into thin air, and my brain grinds away at nothing, till it catches 2.3 ::BREADWINNER :=Laura: unfortunately -- essential father and breadwinner. There's no further need for 1.1 ::BREAK :=Captain: day long in this house, without a break. Oh, must you go? Do stay for supper 1.1 ::BREAST :=Captain: You'd better make a clean breast of it -- otherwise, you know what 3.2 ::BREAST :=Captain: Oh, it's good to sleep on a woman's breast -- a mother's or a mistress's, but 3.2 ::BREAST :=Captain: Lean over me, so that I can feel your breast. Oh, it's good to sleep on a woman's 2.1 ::BREATH :=Nurse: all is vain!" Ah yes! "All that upon this earth draws breath To earth must fall 2.2 ::BREATH :=Captain: fold my arms over my chest and hold my breath till I die. Good night. 3.2 ::BREATHING :=Laura: it's not too late. Look, he's stopped breathing. 2.2 ::BRIEF :=Captain: I can call to mind just two brief incidents that, when I came to think 2.3 ::BRIGHT :=Captain: found ourselves sitting among ruins in bright moonlight, just as in the good old 1.3 ::BRILLIANT :=Laura: Of course that's not unusual with brilliant scholars -- if only it didn't threaten 1.1 ::BRING :=Captain: a pander for my own daughter, and bring her up with no idea except marriage. 1.1 ::BRING :=Captain: house it full of women who all want to bring up my daughter. My mother-in-law wants 1.3 ::BRING :=Laura: Heaven know I've had to bring myself to fall in with his wishes, 2.3 ::BRING :=Captain: well that one day this work will bring me far more honour than my military 3.1 ::BRING :=Pastor: would suit you very well if you could bring up your child in your own way. 3.2 ::BRING :=Captain: into the world because my birth would bring her pain, she was my enemy: she starved 3.2 ::BRING :=Captain: enemies. My mother, who didn't want to bring me into the world because my birth 1.1 ::BRINGING :=Captain: marry, she can use her training in bringing up her own children. Don't you think 1.3 ::BRINGING :=Doctor: one thing I must impress on you. Avoid bringing up any topic that is likely to affect 1.4 ::BRINGING :=Laura: for the sake of keeping my child and bringing her up. Suppose I was telling the 2.1 ::BRINGS :=Doctor: that with a mental patient, unless he brings up the subject himself, and then only 2.3 ::BRINGS :=Captain: and that may come at any time. That brings you to the question of whether it's 1.2 ::BROTHER :=Captain: in here. You wanted him because your brother wanted to get rid of him; your mother 1.4 ::BROTHER :=Captain: till he left; and then you got your brother to scrape up votes for this man. 1.1 ::BROTHER-IN-LAW :=Captain: Well, as you know, my dear brother-in-law, it hasn't had much on me 1.1 ::BROUGHT :=Captain: She was brought up with a lot of romantic ideas, 1.2 ::BROUGHT :=Captain: As the law stands, children must be brought up in their father's faith. 2.1 ::BROUGHT :=Bertha: Papa's Christmas present. And I've brought something you'll like, too. 3.1 ::BROUGHT :=Captain: Anything else was just a morbid idea brought on the wind, like pestilence and 3.1 ::BROUGHT :=Nurse: took them out of his clothes when Nojd brought them out to brush. 3.2 ::BROUGHT :=Captain: Omphale! Omphale! Rude strength is brought down by scheming weakness. Damn you, 3.1 ::BRUSH :=Nurse: clothes when Nojd brought them out to brush. 2.3 ::BRUTAL :=Captain: the lowest kind of theft -- the most brutal slavery. I've served seventeen years' 3.1 ::BUCKLES :=Doctor: And here we have two straps with buckles which you then make fast to the arms 3.1 ::BULLET :=Captain: of his wife's infidelity than by the bullet wound in his chest from a duel. On 3.1 ::BUMPS :=Captain: your wig and see if you can't find two bumps up there. Upon my soul I believe he's 3.2 ::BURDEN :=Laura: the heart struggled to throw off the burden that oppressed it. That is how it 2.3 ::BURIED :=Captain: No, I am not. There's a crime lying buried here that's beginning to stink -- 3.1 ::BURIED :=Captain: too! But cheer up, she's dead and buried, and what's done can't be undone. 2.2 ::BURST :=Captain: word "unhealthy". Remember all boilers burst when their pressure-gauge reaches 100, 3.2 ::BUSHES :=Captain: are only shadows, that hide in the bushes and poke their heads out to grin. 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Pastor: . . . What were we talking about, when this unfortunate business interrupted 3.1 ::BUSINESS :=Pastor: It's a deplorable business, but I always expected something 3.2 ::BUSINESS-WOMAN :=Captain: now he enters into partnership with a business-woman, or sets up house with a friend. 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: But -- well, it might be worth trying with 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: But the worst of it is, it looks to me as 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: But you told Emma that you'd marry her. 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: I dare say, but I have more than my share. I even have 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: innocent -- we'll never know; but we do know that the girl's guilty -- 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: to the faith, and I'm no martyr -- but we've had all that out before. Good night 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: -- it won't be anything very grand, but do stay; I'm expecting the new doctor, 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: Oh, of course Laura has her faults, but they don't amount to much. 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: She's a dear old soul, heaven knows, but she oughtn't to be here. 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: even just another edition of myself. But I will not become a pander for my own 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: in her upbringing, meet with nothing but opposition. I shall have to get her far 1.1 ::BUT :=Captain: sworn at him, I've even thrashed him, but it didn't make the slightest impression 1.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: Yes, but Ludwig must help, too. 1.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: That time, yes. But how's a man to be sure he's always been 1.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: Beg pardon, Captain, but I can't very well talk about it, not 1.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: Well, of course she and I . . . But you know yourself, Pastor, that 1.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: certain that I was the father, yes; but, your Reverence, no one can ever be sure. 1.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: But, good heavens, a man can't have a stepmother 1.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: Laura? No, but -- well, I don't like the look of you. 1.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: you can't be forced to marry her, but you shall provide for the child, that 1.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: place with some respectable family, but the boy's whole future might be ruined 1.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: It's hard luck on the girl, I agree, but it's hard luck on the boy too. I mean, 1.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: discipline -- that's what Laura had; but, though she's my own sister, she was 1.2 ::BUT :=Laura: But if the father and the mother agree on 1.3 ::BUT :=Captain: Yes, but the devil of it is that I shan't get 1.3 ::BUT :=Captain: Not what is happening, but what has happened. If only those wretched 1.3 ::BUT :=Captain: that's better. Do forgive me, Doctor, but nothing annoys me more than to hear people 1.3 ::BUT :=Doctor: But not from one's doctor. 1.3 ::BUT :=Doctor: I'm sorry to be so late, but I've had some patients to see alread 1.3 ::BUT :=Doctor: that you should confide in me, but as a doctor, I must examine and investigate 1.3 ::BUT :=Doctor: I hope you will rely on me absolutely. But in view of what you've told me, there 1.3 ::BUT :=Laura: to see you. The Captain is out, but he should be back at any moment. 1.3 ::BUT :=Laura: a lot of illness about just now, but I'm sure you'll manage. For people like 1.3 ::BUT :=Laura: always insists on having his own way, but the moment he gets it, he loses interest, 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: But Grandmama says there are things that 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: But Grandmama says you don't understand, 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: But Papa, you must be kind to Mama, you know. 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: All right, but you mustn't say anything. You won't, 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: I'm sorry, but I didn't dare. Grandmama says the spirits 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: about them. And then the pen writes but I don't know if it's me doing it. Sometimes 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: it. Sometimes it works beautifully, but sometimes it won't go at all. When I'm 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: then I don't know what will happen. But she must -- she simply must! 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: I thought I was doing it beautifully, but Grandmama said it was all out of Stagnelius, 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: the time -- just like a winter night; but when you come, Papa, it's like the spring 1.4 ::BUT :=Bertha: go at all. When I'm tired, it doesn't, but I have to make something come. This evening 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: But not you? 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: But suppose Mama doesn't want you to. 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: But suppose she doesn't? 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: I'm sorry, Margret; but, believe me, you're the only one in this 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: Yes, my dear, I do, but you don't know what is best for me. You 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: I can believe a lot about you, but not that. Nor do I believe that you'd 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: While no woman is born of man. But then I am Bertha's father. Tell me, Margret, 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: suppose you want it and I want it, but she doesn't want it -- what shall we 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: by me when they were all against me; but now, when I really need you, you desert 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: to happen here -- I don't know what, but whatever it is, it'll be evil. What's 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: way you have the power of the devil, but so has everyone who's unscrupulous enough. 1.4 ::BUT :=Captain: that what she wants is to leave home, but I also know that you have the power to 1.4 ::BUT :=Laura: But since we have different ideas, surely 1.4 ::BUT :=Laura: Yes. It's odd, but I've never been able to look at a man 1.4 ::BUT :=Laura: Or what? All right then, we'll stop. But think very carefully before you decide 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: Yes, but that isn't what I meant. 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: I don't understand it, but I suppose it's because you are all women's 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: Yes, I've seen, all right. But, my goodness, why must two people plague 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: learning makes you proud and hard, but it won't help you much in the hour of 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: You ought to be ashamed of yourself. But, in spite of everything, old Margret 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: don't understand anything about that. But I do think you ought to be able to a 1.4 ::BUT :=Nurse: A father has other things to think of, but a mother has only her child. 2.1 ::BUT :=Bertha: shan't be able to keep Christmas Eve. But if he's ill, how can he be up? 2.1 ::BUT :=Captain: But was he sure he was the only one? No, 2.1 ::BUT :=Captain: No, you can't see it, but the difference is there all the same. 2.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: But things can't go on like this; something 2.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: Forgive my saying so, but I don't think you can have considered 2.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: on what course the illness takes. But we mustn't sit here; perhaps it would 2.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: of any suspicion of mental disorder, but he has actually made a great contribution 2.1 ::BUT :=Laura: No, but I want you to sit here and wait for him; 2.1 ::BUT :=Laura: Yes, but I never said that! 2.1 ::BUT :=Laura: if you only knew how anxious I am. But wouldn't it be better to tell him outright 2.1 ::BUT :=Laura: knows I did all I could to calm him, but I'm beginning to think that he's beyond 2.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: Yes, but, my dear, this will never do. It's gone 2.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: Even when it seemed most fair, Naught but agony was there." Yes, dear child, God 2.2 ::BUT :=Captain: No, enough and no more. But listen to this, doctor; unconsciously 2.2 ::BUT :=Captain: That's an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn't alter my judgement, even if 2.2 ::BUT :=Captain: and, what is more, the case history. But since I have the misfortune to be a man, 2.2 ::BUT :=Captain: when their pressure-gauge reaches 100, but that hundred mark varies with different 2.2 ::BUT :=Captain: woman staying there with her children, but her husband was in town. She was a woman 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: I saw that, but I never understood why. And when I thought 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: about that sort of thing before, but now I begin to remember incidents that 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: Because the child help us together, but the bond has become a chain. How has 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: has her children, while he has not. But we, like the rest of mankind, lived our 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: my life insurance will come to you. But if I take my own life, you will get nothing. 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: you out there listening. It's late, but we must thrash things out. Sit down. 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: more honour than my military duties; but you particularly don't want me to win 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: pity black slaves and set them free, but you keep white ones. I've worked and 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: who once crowed were no longer cocks but only capons, and the pullets answered 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: That is just what you want, isn't it? But perhaps you want something else as well: 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: finally woke. that was all very well, but we woke with our feet on the pillow, 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: so that I could neither see nor hear, but only obey; you could give me a raw potato 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: I should have liked to go to the wars, but there were none. Then I immersed myself 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: I'd had my suspicions for a long time, but I dared not hear them confirmed. That's 2.3 ::BUT :=Captain: ideas, you did things in your own way. But when I eventually woke up and came to 2.3 ::BUT :=Laura: But a woman? 2.3 ::BUT :=Laura: give, I took -- just what I wanted. But you had one advantage -- I realized that, 2.3 ::BUT :=Laura: not true, you wouldn't be convinced, but if I said it is, that would convince 2.3 ::BUT :=Laura: loved you as if you were my own child. But you must surely have noticed how embarrassed 2.3 ::BUT :=Laura: then have full control over the child. But I'm not falling into that trap. 3.1 ::BUT :=Bertha: But I don't want that, I want to be myse 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: Of course I realize it. But if I could work on your crowned heads 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: so that now I'm only half a tree; but the other half goes on growing, with 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: Oh yes, it's only talk, of course, but heavens, how they do talk. But we're 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: fool saith: Lo, here is my father, but who can tell whose loins have engendered 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: -- meaning Odysseus -- is my father; but I myself cannot be sure; since no man 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: have you shut up, too. Yes, I'm mad; but what sent me mad? That doesn't interest 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: one is saved. Yes, that's how it is! But I know that a man's belief can destroy 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: that I can see my soul in your eyes. But I see her soul, too! You have two souls, 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: with one, and hate me with the other. But you must love me only. You must have 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: -- you've already shown me your teeth. But don't be afraid, my darling child, I 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: There, you see, he's turned pale, too! But cheer up, she's dead and buried, and 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: course, but heavens, how they do talk. But we're all laughing-stocks anyway, we 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: eat you. Your mother wanted to eat me, but she couldn't. I am Saturn, who ate his 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: me to my face that I'm not her father. But don't you know that that's insulting 3.1 ::BUT :=Captain: our own adopted children, couldn't we? But how can all that help me now? How can 3.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: should really be the one to do it, but I fear that he mistrusts even you. Perhaps 3.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: with him, and when I give the order, but not before. I have the -- garment outside. 3.1 ::BUT :=Doctor: convinced that he has become violent, but the question is whether the violence 3.1 ::BUT :=Laura: But if he's merely fined for assault, he 3.1 ::BUT :=Laura: No, thank heaven. But just think what might have happened. 3.1 ::BUT :=Laura: I think he did love me once, but time -- time changes so many things. 3.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: Yes, but I can't do it, Captain. It's just as 3.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: Of course I can, but it's a different thing when it comes 3.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: Heaven help you, Captain, really, but I can't do that, honestly I can't. I'd 3.1 ::BUT :=Nojd: can't. I'd take on half a dozen men -- but not a woman! 3.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: All right, but you must pay attention, then. Do you 3.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: Very well, but it's as good as stealing. Just listen 3.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: Well, I did tidy them away, but you just sit quietly here, and I'll soon 3.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: do it myself, gently -- very gently. But Nojd can wait outside in case I need 3.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: But that's appalling. He must be completely 3.1 ::BUT :=Pastor: It's a deplorable business, but I always expected something like this 3.2 ::BUT :=Captain: All that sounds very plausible, but how does it help me? And who is to blame? 3.2 ::BUT :=Captain: it behind my back? Omphale! Omphale! But I can feel your soft shawl against my 3.2 ::BUT :=Captain: roused my mind and body to action -- but, as things are, my thoughts melt into 3.2 ::BUT :=Captain: breast -- a mother's or a mistress's, but a mother's is best. 3.2 ::BUT :=Doctor: he may still recover consciousness -- but what sort of consciousness we don't 3.2 ::BUT :=Laura: -- well, there may have been one, but I knew nothing about it. I've never considered 3.1 ::BUTTON :=Nurse: say, "Now sit nice and quiet while I button down the back". And then I'd say: 1.3 ::BUY :=Doctor: That's insignificant. What does he buy? 1.3 ::BUYING :=Doctor: there's nothing very odd in a scholar buying books. 1.3 ::BUYING :=Laura: For instance, he has a mania for buying all sorts of things. 1.2 ::BY :=Captain: None whatever. By law she surrenders all her rights and 1.2 ::BY :=Captain: I should be in the lunatic asylum by now, or in the family vault. However, 1.3 ::BY :=Doctor: Madam, I'm deeply moved by your misfortune, and I promise you that 1.4 ::BY :=Captain: to me. Up to now, you've always stood by me when they were all against me; but 2.1 ::BY :=Doctor: about other heavenly bodies by means of a microscope. Now that I find 2.1 ::BY :=Doctor: grow like an avalanche. Moreover by your action you have thwarted his will, 2.1 ::BY :=Laura: of the house; I couldn't stand idly by and let him ruin us all. 2.1 ::BY :=Nurse: "A pitiful and wretched thing Is life, that swiftly passes by. Death's angel o'er 2.3 ::BY :=Captain: I wanted to win you as a woman by being a man. 2.3 ::BY :=Captain: tarnished and I wanted to redeem it by some noble action -- some achievement, 2.3 ::BY :=Captain: the same weapons, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a woman. 2.3 ::BY :=Captain: setting my former friends against me by spreading a rumour about my sanity. What's 2.3 ::BY :=Laura: By means of this letter -- of which an attested 2.3 ::BY :=Laura: What do you mean by all this? 2.3 ::BY :=Laura: of your embraces was always followed by remorse, as if my very blood were ashamed. 3.1 ::BY :=Captain: Marry first, so as to be accepted by society, then separate directly after, 3.1 ::BY :=Captain: round of his wife's infidelity than by the bullet wound in his chest from a duel. 3.1 ::BY :=Captain: How could he swear to that. You see, by the way, that I can still read my books. 3.1 ::BY :=Captain: can't be undone. I used to know him, by the way; he's now -- look at me, Doctor 3.1 ::BY :=Captain: poet, died in agony caused much more by the rumours going round of his wife's 3.1 ::BY :=Laura: Just what do you mean by that? 3.2 ::BY :=Captain: Omphale! Rude strength is brought down by scheming weakness. Damn you, you she-devil, 3.2 ::BY :=Laura: head. It's possible that I was swayed by an obscure desire to be rid of you, as 1.1 ::CAGE :=Captain: haven't I? It's like going into a cage full of tigers; if I didn't keep my 1.1 ::CALL :=Captain: that the girl's guilty -- if you can call it guilt. 1.2 ::CALL :=Captain: you recommend such a -- what shall I call him -- such a ne'er-do-well? 2.2 ::CALL :=Captain: if I may say so -- good-looking. I can call to mind just two brief incidents that, 2.3 ::CALL :=Captain: capons, and the pullets answered the call, so that when it should have been sunrise, 3.1 ::CALL :=Captain: Don't ever call me that again! 2.2 ::CALLED :=Captain: or complaints, as they're so cleverly called, and perhaps I should be able to give 2.3 ::CALLING :=Captain: as a child? Can't you hear that I'm calling to you as if you were my mother? 1.3 ::CALLS :=Doctor: not need to make too many professional calls. I should think your family is pretty 2.1 ::CALM :=Laura: Heaven knows I did all I could to calm him, but I'm beginning to think that 2.2 ::CALM :=Captain: night, doctor. As you see, I'm quite calm, so you can safely go to bed! 3.1 ::CALM :=Laura: The only hope for all of us is to keep calm. Who is it? 2.1 ::CAME :=Bertha: ever heard. And it seemed as if it came from the box- room -- you know, on the 2.2 ::CAME :=Captain: some friends in the saloon, when in came the young stewardess, in tears. She 2.2 ::CAME :=Captain: later, in one of those very books, I came across a visiting card, bearing a pretty 2.2 ::CAME :=Captain: just two brief incidents that, when I came to think of them, roused my suspicions. 2.3 ::CAME :=Captain: way. But when I eventually woke up and came to my senses, I realized how my honour 2.3 ::CAME :=Laura: Do you remember that, when I first came into your life, it was as a second mother. 3.1 ::CAME :=Nurse: to make boats with, and how I came in and had to play a trick on you to 1.1 ::CAN :=Captain: Oh, you can be sure of that. The whole house is up 1.1 ::CAN :=Captain: Then, if she doesn't marry, she can always support herself -- at any rate 1.1 ::CAN :=Captain: have to decide. I've done all I can. Besides, it's not really my affair. 1.1 ::CAN :=Captain: know that the girl's guilty -- if you can call it guilt. 1.1 ::CAN :=Captain: their pay. And if she does marry, she can use her training in bringing up her own 1.1 ::CAN :=Captain: about men being made to see that women can do this, that, and the other. It's man 1.1 ::CAN :=Nojd: Well, how can I tell? 1.1 ::CAN :=Nojd: No. That's a thing you can never know for certain. 1.1 ::CAN :=Nojd: yes; but, your Reverence, no one can ever be sure. And it's no joke slaving 1.1 ::CAN :=Pastor: suppose he's not the father. The girl can stay in the orphanage and nurse the child 1.1 ::CAN :=Pastor: help to nurse it. Afterwards, the girl can get a good place with some respectable 1.2 ::CAN :=Captain: They say that's something you can never be sure of. 1.2 ::CAN :=Captain: money, and your allowance. You can give me the accounts later. 1.2 ::CAN :=Laura: You can usually tell. 1.3 ::CAN :=Doctor: And can you see that through a microscope? 1.3 ::CAN :=Doctor: Does he say that he can do that? 1.3 ::CAN :=Doctor: Exactly -- these patients can be made to believe anything, because 1.3 ::CAN :=Doctor: and I promise you that I'll see what can be done. I sympathize with all my heart, 1.3 ::CAN :=Doctor: the patient strongly. Ideas like that can develop rapidly in an unstable mind, 1.4 ::CAN :=Bertha: says there are things that she can see and you can't. 1.4 ::CAN :=Bertha: that are far worse -- things that can see to other planets. 1.4 ::CAN :=Bertha: to get away from here. So long as I can see you sometimes -- often. Oh, it's 1.4 ::CAN :=Captain: I can believe a lot about you, but not that. 1.4 ::CAN :=Captain: The child can hardly have any considered opinion about 1.4 ::CAN :=Captain: I don't know. Can you explain how you women manage to treat 1.4 ::CAN :=Captain: -- talk away. You're the only one I can listen to without getting in a rage. 1.4 ::CAN :=Laura: "No one can tell", so you certainly can't. 1.4 ::CAN :=Laura: Ah, Bertha's in here! Then perhaps we can hear what she thinks, since it's her 1.4 ::CAN :=Laura: since it's been discovered that no one can tell for certain who is a child's fa 1.4 ::CAN :=Nurse: Me? Goodness, Mr Adolf, how can you say such a thing? Do you think I 1.4 ::CAN :=Nurse: you say such a thing? Do you think I can forget how you were my baby when you 2.1 ::CAN :=Bertha: Christmas Eve. But if he's ill, how can he be up? 2.1 ::CAN :=Doctor: must have found how infuriating it can be when one's dearest wishes are thwarted 2.1 ::CAN :=Doctor: my saying so, but I don't think you can have considered the consequences of such 2.1 ::CAN :=Laura: Yes, that would be better, then Margret can sit here. She always waits for him when 2.2 ::CAN :=Captain: that is, as an indication of love can be, from a married woman to a strange 2.2 ::CAN :=Captain: As you see, I'm quite calm, so you can safely go to bed! 2.2 ::CAN :=Captain: I have the misfortune to be a man, I can only do like the Romans, and fold my 2.2 ::CAN :=Captain: under certain conditions, a stallion can sire striped foals -- and vice versa 2.2 ::CAN :=Captain: -- if I may say so -- good-looking. I can call to mind just two brief incidents 2.2 ::CAN :=Doctor: Captain. There's nothing more that I can do in this case. 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: How can it matter to you, when you can be quite 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: And how can you have me put under restraint? 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: Come in, then we can talk. I heard you out there listening. 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: Are you sure? Do you think a man can live when there's nothing and no one 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: How can it matter to you, when you can be quite sure that I shall never divulge 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: is unaffected as you know, since I can carry out both my duties as a soldier 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: labour though I was innocent. What can you give me in return for that? 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: case can't be proved, while the latter can. 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: off my arm. I am dishonoured now and I can no longer live, for a man cannot live 2.3 ::CAN :=Captain: when you've already said that a mother can and should commit any crime for her child's 2.3 ::CAN :=Laura: I can hardly plead guilty to a crime that I've 2.3 ::CAN :=Laura: What can I do? I swear before God and all that 2.3 ::CAN :=Laura: want to prove me guilty so that you can get rid of me and then have full control 3.1 ::CAN :=Bertha: You aren't my father if you can say things like that! 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: and fever. Look at me, so that I can see my soul in your eyes. But I see her 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: to that. You see, by the way, that I can still read my books. Ah, Jonas, are you 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: But how can all that help me now? How can anything help me, now that you've taken 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: it is! But I know that a man's belief can destroy him -- that's what I know! 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: saith: Lo, here is my father, but who can tell whose loins have engendered him?" 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: that I have nothing to live for? What can I do with my life now that my honour's 3.1 ::CAN :=Captain: adopted children, couldn't we? But how can all that help me now? How can anything 3.1 ::CAN :=Doctor: it has unusually long sleeves that can be tied behind the back to restrict his 3.1 ::CAN :=Laura: How can I answer that now? 3.1 ::CAN :=Laura: a guilty conscience. Accuse me, if you can! 3.1 ::CAN :=Nojd: Of course I can, but it's a different thing when it comes 3.1 ::CAN :=Nojd: If there's anything I can do for the Captain, he knows I'll do 3.1 ::CAN :=Nurse: gently -- very gently. But Nojd can wait outside in case I need any help 3.1 ::CAN :=Nurse: in case I need any help -- yes, he can do that. 3.1 ::CAN :=Nurse: and walk across the room, so that I can see how it fits". And then I'd say "Now 3.1 ::CAN :=Pastor: Well, you can hardly deny that it would suit you very 3.2 ::CAN :=Captain: my back? Omphale! Omphale! But I can feel your soft shawl against my mouth, 3.2 ::CAN :=Captain: that's warmer. Lean over me, so that I can feel your breast. Oh, it's good to sleep 3.2 ::CAN :=Doctor: In that case -- and I can no more judge of that, than I can of 3.2 ::CAN :=Doctor: there's nothing more that my skill can do. It's up to you to try yours now, 3.2 ::CAN :=Doctor: I can no more judge of that, than I can of the cause of his illness -- then there's 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Captain: Laura won't let Bertha go, and I can't let her stay in this madhouse. 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Nojd: Beg pardon, Captain, but I can't very well talk about it, not with the 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Pastor: But, good heavens, a man can't have a stepmother living in his ho 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Pastor: help you, my dear chap, because I can't see much help for you, and of course 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Pastor: the girl with a child. I suppose you can't be forced to marry her, but you shall 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Pastor: Bertha that's caused so much argument? Can't you compromise somehow? 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Captain: The law can't say who is the child's father. 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Captain: Once you've sold your goods, you can't expect to have them back and keep the 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Laura: I can't help it if the lodger didn't pay. 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Laura: How extraordinary! You can't be sure who a child's father is? 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Captain: telegrams! It makes me mad -- I can't think what it all means. 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Doctor: I can't believe it. The Captain's papers on 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Doctor: Well, I can't really decide. 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Bertha: She says you can't do magic. 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Bertha: are things that she can see and you can't. 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Bertha: everything'll be tiresome again. Why can't you two -- 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Captain: You can't. 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Captain: That's why we can't fight you. 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Laura: Can't I? Do you really think that a mother 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Laura: "No one can tell", so you certainly can't. 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Captain: No, you can't see it, but the difference is there 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Doctor: But things can't go on like this; something must be 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Doctor: of family life, and so forth, I can't probe too deeply; I must confine myself 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Doctor: to the obvious symptoms. What's done can't be undone, unfortunately -- yet the 2.2 ::CAN'T :=Doctor: Far from it. The pity is that we can't be friends. Good night. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Captain: -- probably because the former case can't be proved, while the latter can. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Captain: see that I'm as helpless as a child? Can't you hear that I'm calling to you as 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Captain: You can't get the better of a woman, eh? 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Captain: Feel under your wig and see if you can't find two bumps up there. Upon my soul 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Captain: That's my daughter! Is she mine? We can't be sure. Do you know what we'd have 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Captain: she's dead and buried, and what's done can't be undone. I used to know him, by the 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Nojd: Yes, but I can't do it, Captain. It's just as if you 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Nojd: inside me -- like religion. I can't do it. 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Nojd: but I can't do that, honestly I can't. I'd take on half a dozen men -- but 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Nojd: Heaven help you, Captain, really, but I can't do that, honestly I can't. I'd take 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Pastor: something like this would happen; you can't mix fire and water without an explosion. 3.1 ::CANDLE :=Nurse: a drink, and how I used to light the candle and tell you lovely stories when you 3.1 ::CANNIBAL :=Captain: I won't let you. You see, I'm a cannibal, and I want to eat you. Your mother 2.2 ::CANNOT :=Captain: That is to say, paternity cannot be proved. 2.3 ::CANNOT :=Captain: and I can no longer live, for a man cannot live without honour. 3.1 ::CANNOT :=Captain: Odysseus -- is my father; but I myself cannot be sure; since no man ever yet knew 3.1 ::CANNOT :=Laura: There you are, then! You cannot, so I am not guilty. And now, you 3.1 ::CANNOT :=Pastor: I cannot. 3.1 ::CAP :=Pastor: doll -- and here's your christening cap; and Bertha's rattle -- and your letters 2.3 ::CAPONS :=Captain: crowed were no longer cocks but only capons, and the pullets answered the call, 1.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Nojd: Beg pardon, Captain, but I can't very well talk about 1.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Nojd: God bless you, Captain. 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: My dear Captain, I'm delighted to meet such a distinguished 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Good night, Captain. 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: You must decide, Captain. 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: I've had the pleasure of meeting the Captain? 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: before I make my diagnosis. Does the Captain show any symptoms of sudden moodiness 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: a stranger ought to know. Good night, Captain. 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Laura: we're delighted to see you. The Captain is out, but he should be back at 1.3 ::CAPTAIN :=Nurse: Yes, Captain. 1.4 ::CAPTAIN :=Nurse: Captain, only listen -- 2.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: his suspicions. Tell me, has the Captain ever had these fancies before? 2.2 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Captain, if you are ill, it wouldn't stain 2.2 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Captain, you should be careful not to let 2.2 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Not at all, Captain. You know, when I heard Mrs Alving 2.2 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Good night, then, Captain. There's nothing more that I can 2.2 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: of fact, I never was. And anyhow, Captain, wasn't it Goethe who said "A man 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Captain -- 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: Captain, please let us change the subjec 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: You know the circumstances here. The Captain. is our of his mind, and you must 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Doctor: want you to slip this waistcoat on the Captain from behind, as soon as I consider 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Nojd: Heaven help you, Captain, really, but I can't do that, honestly 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Nojd: Yes, but I can't do it, Captain. It's just as if you were to ask 3.1 ::CAPTAIN :=Nojd: If there's anything I can do for the Captain, he knows I'll do it. 1.3 ::CAPTAIN'S :=Doctor: I can't believe it. The Captain's papers on mineralogy are masterly; 3.1 ::CAPTAIN'S :=Doctor: asylum. What have you to say about the Captain's behaviour? 2.2 ::CARD :=Captain: very books, I came across a visiting card, bearing a pretty obvious hint. Oh, 1.1 ::CARE :=Pastor: I don't like the look of you. Take care of yourself, that's all I say. Goodbye, 1.3 ::CARE :=Captain: to talk about; how about you? If you'd care to stay here, there's a little flat 3.1 ::CARE :=Laura: so I am not guilty. And now, you take care of your ward, and I'll look after mine. 1.1 ::CAREER :=Captain: a long course of training for some career more suited to a man, when it would 2.3 ::CAREER :=Captain: and your servants. I've sacrificed my career and promotion, I've been racked and 2.3 ::CAREFREE :=Captain: and all so that you could enjoy a carefree life, and when you grew old, live 1.3 ::CAREFUL :=Doctor: That's significant; it needs very careful watching. You see, madam, the will 2.1 ::CAREFUL :=Doctor: must have misheard you. One has to be careful about making an accusation that could 2.2 ::CAREFUL :=Doctor: Captain, you should be careful not to let your thoughts take an 1.4 ::CAREFULLY :=Laura: right then, we'll stop. But think very carefully before you decide to do anything. 1.3 ::CARELESSNESS :=Doctor: Oh, it's just ordinary carelessness; you shouldn't let it upset 2.3 ::CARRY :=Captain: is unaffected as you know, since I can carry out both my duties as a soldier and 2.3 ::CARRYING :=Captain: had no understanding, and instead of carrying out my ideas, you did things in 3.1 ::CARTRIDGES :=Captain: Did you take out the cartridges? 3.1 ::CARTRIDGES :=Laura: it to me. Ah. . . Nojd, have you taken all the cartridges out of the guns and emptied 3.2 ::CARTRIDGES :=Captain: the air, or a sham fight with blank cartridges. A mortal truth would have roused 2.1 ::CARVE :=Nurse: beneath his doom, Sorrow alone escapes our death, to carve upon the gaping tomb: 3.1 ::CARVING-KNIFE :=Nurse: remember that time you took the big carving-knife to make boats with, and how 1.1 ::CASE :=Captain: the Magistrate who has to judge this case. Probably the boy's not altogether innocent 1.2 ::CASE :=Captain: That question doesn't arise in this case. Is there anything else you want to 2.1 ::CASE :=Doctor: Yes, yes, yes, a case like this is deep-rooted, and what with 2.1 ::CASE :=Doctor: I'm not entirely convinced about the case. In the first place, you made a mistake 2.2 ::CASE :=Captain: a difference of opinion about the case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit down, d 2.2 ::CASE :=Captain: full diagnosis and, what is more, the case history. But since I have the misfortune 2.2 ::CASE :=Doctor: nothing more that I can do in this case. 2.3 ::CASE :=Captain: enough -- probably because the former case can't be proved, while the latter c 3.1 ::CASE :=Nurse: gently. But Nojd can wait outside in case I need any help -- yes, he can do t 3.2 ::CASE :=Doctor: In that case -- and I can no more judge of that, 2.1 ::CASES :=Doctor: himself, and then only in exceptional cases. It depends entirely on what course 1.4 ::CASTING :=Laura: ideas, surely Bertha might have the casting vote. 3.2 ::CAT :=Captain: a goddess these days? Take away this cat that's lying on me -- take it away! Give 3.2 ::CATCHES :=Captain: brain grinds away at nothing, till it catches fire. Give me a pillow under my head. 1.1 ::CAUGHT :=Pastor: I caught a glimpse of him, on my way. He seemed 3.1 ::CAUGHT :=Captain: Who'd have thought you had the sense? Caught, shorn and outwitted -- they won't 3.1 ::CAUGHT :=Pastor: off your own leg than let yourself be caught. You're like a master-thief -- you 2.1 ::CAUSE :=Doctor: meddling in his affairs, he would have cause for suspicions, and then they'd grow 3.2 ::CAUSE :=Doctor: more judge of that, than I can of the cause of his illness -- then there's nothing 1.1 ::CAUSED :=Pastor: What is your plan for Bertha that's caused so much argument? Can't you compromise 2.3 ::CAUSED :=Captain: sympathized with you, realizing what caused your anxiety; I've often lulled your 3.1 ::CAUSED :=Captain: Russia's greatest poet, died in agony caused much more by the rumours going round 3.1 ::CAUSED :=Pastor: Whatever caused the actual outbreak, you'll admit 2.3 ::CEASE :=Captain: himself. When women grow old and cease to be women, they grow hair on their 2.3 ::CEASE :=Captain: becomes of men when they grow old and cease to be men. Those who once crowed were 1.1 ::CERTAIN :=Nojd: If I knew for certain that I was the father, yes; but, 1.1 ::CERTAIN :=Nojd: That's a thing you can never know for certain. 1.4 ::CERTAIN :=Laura: discovered that no one can tell for certain who is a child's father. 2.2 ::CERTAIN :=Captain: So that, under certain conditions, a stallion can sire striped 1.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Pastor: It certainly hasn't. 1.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Pastor: You certainly have too many women running your 1.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Pastor: It's certainly turned cold tonight. Thank you. 1.4 ::CERTAINLY :=Captain: fill with hatred. No, Margret, you certainly haven't the true faith. 1.4 ::CERTAINLY :=Laura: "No one can tell", so you certainly can't. 2.3 ::CERTAINLY :=Captain: Certainly. It rests with you whether you 2.3 ::CERTAINLY :=Captain: It was certainly no act of kindness, since you knew 2.3 ::CERTAINLY :=Captain: have been from two different species. Certainly there's no resemblance between 2.1 ::CERTIFIED :=Doctor: that could lead to a man being certified. 2.1 ::CERTIFIED :=Laura: Certified? 2.3 ::CHAIN :=Captain: us together, but the bond has become a chain. How has that happened? I've never 3.1 ::CHAIR :=Doctor: Here he is! Leave the jacket on that chair, with your shawl over it, and all wait 3.1 ::CHAIR :=Doctor: you then make fast to the arms of the chair or sofa, whichever is more convenient. 3.2 ::CHAIR :=Captain: Come and sit beside me -- here, on the chair. That's it. Let me put my head on your 2.2 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Captain: We sympathized with her, and I ordered champagne. After the second glass, I touched 1.4 ::CHANGE :=Captain: that you have the power to make her change her mind when you like. 3.1 ::CHANGE :=Captain: I mentioned horns, he wants to change the subject. 3.1 ::CHANGE :=Captain: you -- nor anyone else. Do you want to change the subject now? Christ! That's my 3.1 ::CHANGE :=Doctor: Captain, please let us change the subject. 1.3 ::CHANGEABLE :=Doctor: of sudden moodiness -- is he very changeable? 1.3 ::CHANGEABLE :=Laura: Changeable? We've been married for twenty 3.1 ::CHANGES :=Laura: he did love me once, but time -- time changes so many things. 1.3 ::CHANGING :=Laura: he's never yet made a decision without changing his mind afterwards. 1.1 ::CHAP :=Captain: Yes, that's the chap. I wish you'd be kind enough to have 1.1 ::CHAP :=Pastor: No, thanks, my dear chap, I promised I'd be in to supper, and 1.1 ::CHAP :=Pastor: Then may heaven help you, my dear chap, because I can't see much help for you, 1.1 ::CHAP :=Pastor: He seemed a decent, reliable sort of chap. 1.1 ::CHAP :=Pastor: wife, she must be perfect! No, my dear chap, she's really the one who plagues you 1.1 ::CHARACTER :=Captain: It's no earthly good trying to mould a character like a piece of patchwork -- especially 1.4 ::CHARLATAN :=Captain: women teach his daughter that he is a charlatan? 1.3 ::CHARMING :=Doctor: Yes, your charming wife did give me one or two hints 2.3 ::CHASING :=Captain: to rest, thinking that I was chasing away some morbid fancy. I've heard 3.1 ::CHATTER :=Captain: just a telephone, relaying all their chatter in there. Yes, in there -- you know 1.4 ::CHEATING :=Bertha: out of Stagnelius, and that I'd been cheating her, and she go terrible angry. 3.1 ::CHEER :=Captain: you see, he's turned pale, too! But cheer up, she's dead and buried, and what's 2.2 ::CHEST :=Captain: the Romans, and fold my arms over my chest and hold my breath till I die. Good 3.1 ::CHEST :=Captain: than by the bullet wound in his chest from a duel. On his death-bed he swore 1.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: and for all, are you the father of the child or not? 1.1 ::CHILD :=Nojd: all your life to support another man's child. Surely you see that, Sir, and you, 1.1 ::CHILD :=Pastor: her, but you shall provide for the child, that you shall. 1.1 ::CHILD :=Pastor: just mean to leave the girl with a child. I suppose you can't be forced to marry 1.1 ::CHILD :=Pastor: stay in the orphanage and nurse the child for four months, and then it's looked 1.1 ::CHILD :=Pastor: you're in for trouble. When she was a child she used to lie on the floor like a 1.2 ::CHILD :=Laura: So she has no rights over her own child? 1.4 ::CHILD :=Captain: The child can hardly have any considered opinion 1.4 ::CHILD :=Captain: My dear, darling child! 1.4 ::CHILD :=Captain: No, I'll have no one -- woman or child -- encroaching on my rights. Leave 1.4 ::CHILD :=Captain: enough for me just to have given the child life, I want to give her my intellect, 1.4 ::CHILD :=Captain: soldier, if I hadn't had her and her child? 1.4 ::CHILD :=Captain: to treat a grown man as if he were a child? 1.4 ::CHILD :=Laura: Because a mother's nearer to the child -- since it's been discovered that 1.4 ::CHILD :=Laura: just now when I said Bertha was my child and not yours. Suppose -- 1.4 ::CHILD :=Laura: that a mother is going to send her child among wicked people who'll say that 1.4 ::CHILD :=Laura: good name, for the sake of keeping my child and bringing her up. Suppose I was 1.4 ::CHILD :=Nurse: course you're the father of your own child. Come and have supper, now, and don't 1.4 ::CHILD :=Nurse: half-way in all this bother over the child? Think how a mother feels -- 1.4 ::CHILD :=Nurse: back to her again, like a good little child. 1.4 ::CHILD :=Nurse: to think of, but a mother has only her child. 2.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: Margret, who was the father of your child? 2.1 ::CHILD :=Laura: that he wasn't the father of his own child. 2.1 ::CHILD :=Laura: one could tell who was the father of a child. Heaven knows I did all I could to 2.1 ::CHILD :=Nurse: You see, child, with his kind of illness he doesn't 2.1 ::CHILD :=Nurse: Good night, child -- and God bless you. 2.1 ::CHILD :=Nurse: You're talking like a child! Of course I'm sure, seeing he was 2.1 ::CHILD :=Nurse: Naught but agony was there." Yes, dear child, God send us a happy Christmas. 2.2 ::CHILD :=Captain: absurd than seeing a father lead his child through the street, or hearing a father 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: Because the child help us together, but the bond has 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: to you as it I were your backward child. 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: you see that I'm as helpless as a child? Can't you hear that I'm calling to 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: understand what I'm saying. If the child is not mine, then I have no control 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: worked and slaved for you and your child, your mother, and your servants. I've 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: grew old, live it again through your child. I've borne all this without complaining 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: I don't believe in a life to come, my child was my after-life. She was my idea 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: imagine I would take on another man's child? 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: well: you want to have power over the child, yet still have me to support you. 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: imagined that I was the father of that child. It was the lowest kind of theft -- 2.3 ::CHILD :=Captain: your answer. I recovered, and we had a child. Who is the father? 2.3 ::CHILD :=Laura: Cry then, child, and your mother will be with you again. 2.3 ::CHILD :=Laura: no fibre, you were like an overgrown child, as if you'd come into the world too 2.3 ::CHILD :=Laura: why I loved you as if you were my own child. But you must surely have noticed how 2.3 ::CHILD :=Laura: me and then have full control over the child. But I'm not falling into that tra 3.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: Bertha, dear, darling child -- because you are my child -- yes, 3.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: Why not let me kill the child? Life's a hell, and death is the Kingdom 3.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: darling child -- because you are my child -- yes, nothing else would be possible 3.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: I. You must have one thought only, the child of my thought; and only one will -- 3.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: teeth. But don't be afraid, my darling child, I shan't do you any harm. 3.1 ::CHILD :=Captain: you? That I should live to have my own child tell me to my face that I'm not her 3.1 ::CHILD :=Nurse: I had to stop you from killing your child. 3.1 ::CHILD :=Pastor: very well if you could bring up your child in your own way. 3.2 ::CHILD :=Captain: My child? A man doesn't have children, it's 3.2 ::CHILD :=Captain: meek and mild, Look upon a little child -- " 3.2 ::CHILD :=Captain: the physical father of the spiritual child? 3.2 ::CHILD :=Laura: My child -- my own child! 3.2 ::CHILD :=Laura: My child -- my own child! 3.2 ::CHILD :=Laura: Do you want to see your child, Adolf? Do you? 3.2 ::CHILD :=Laura: As for your suspicions about the child, they're quite unfounded. 1.2 ::CHILD'S :=Captain: The law can't say who is the child's father. 1.2 ::CHILD'S :=Laura: True -- just as my child's education is nothing to do with me. 1.2 ::CHILD'S :=Laura: extraordinary! You can't be sure who a child's father is? 1.4 ::CHILD'S :=Laura: no one can tell for certain who is a child's father. 2.2 ::CHILD'S :=Captain: Therefore a child's likeness to the father means not 2.3 ::CHILD'S :=Captain: and should commit any crime for her child's sake? I implore you, for the sake 2.3 ::CHILDISH :=Captain: could compel me to admire your most childish remark as if it were a flash of 3.2 ::CHILDLESS :=Captain: why the future is theirs, and we die childless. "Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, 1.1 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: her training in bringing up her own children. Don't you think I'm right? 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: As the law stands, children must be brought up in their father's 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: in return he must support her and her children. 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Laura: father has such rights over a woman's children? 1.4 ::CHILDREN :=Nurse: it's because you are all women's children, every one of you, great of small. 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: You are a widower? And you've had children? 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: or hearing a father talk about "my children". He ought to say "my wife's children"! 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: married woman staying there with her children, but her husband was in town. She 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: children". He ought to say "my wife's children"! Didn't you ever realize what a 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Doctor: Goethe who said "A man must take his children on trust"? 2.3 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: Yes, for she has her children, while he has not. But we, like 2.3 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: inherit anything because we had no children, and he asked if you were expecting 2.3 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: been married for two years, and had no children -- you know why not. I became ill, 3.1 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: be sure they were our own adopted children, couldn't we? But how can all that 3.1 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: and death is the Kingdom of Heaven; children belong to Heaven. 3.1 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: believe that you're the father of your children? I remember you used to have a tutor 3.1 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: couldn't. I am Saturn, who ate his own children because it had been foretold that 3.1 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: lover and mistress, and then adopt the children. Then we could at least be sure 3.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: My child? A man doesn't have children, it's only women who get children. 3.2 ::CHILDREN :=Captain: have children, it's only women who get children. That's why the future is theirs, 2.1 ::CHIMNEYS'LL :=Nurse: such a fearful night too, I'm sure the chimneys'll blow down: "Ah, what is our life 2.3 ::CHINS :=Captain: to be women, they grow hair on their chins; I wonder what becomes of men when 3.2 ::CHOOSE :=Captain: became my enemy, when she had to choose between me and you. And you, my wife, 3.1 ::CHRIST :=Captain: Do you want to change the subject now? Christ! That's my daughter! Is she mine? 3.1 ::CHRISTENING :=Pastor: Here's your doll -- and here's your christening cap; and Bertha's rattle -- and 2.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Bertha: Then we shan't be able to keep Christmas Eve. But if he's ill, how can he 2.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Bertha: You see, I want to finish Papa's Christmas present. And I've brought something 2.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nurse: Yes, dear child, God send us a happy Christmas. 2.2 ::CIRCUMSTANCE :=Captain: unconscious. That's an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn't alter my judgement, 2.3 ::CIRCUMSTANCES :=Captain: my ears like drops of henbane, and circumstances have made them grow. Free me 3.1 ::CIRCUMSTANCES :=Doctor: Ah, Nojd. You know the circumstances here. The Captain. is our of 2.1 ::CIVIL :=Doctor: that an insane person loses his civil and family rights. 1.1 ::CLEAN :=Captain: You'd better make a clean breast of it -- otherwise, you know 1.1 ::CLEAR :=Captain: Clear out! 1.1 ::CLEAR :=Captain: it's not really my affair. All right, clear out. 1.2 ::CLEAR :=Laura: The law's perfectly clear. 3.1 ::CLEAR :=Captain: loins have engendered him?" That's clear enough, isn't it? And what have we 3.1 ::CLEAR :=Pastor: tell me: is your conscience quite clear in all this? 2.1 ::CLEARED :=Doctor: it was a spectroscope, he's not only cleared of any suspicion of mental disorder, 1.4 ::CLEVERLY :=Laura: No, we women manage these things more cleverly. 2.2 ::CLEVERLY :=Captain: -- or complaints, as they're so cleverly called, and perhaps I should be 3.1 ::CLING :=Captain: That's right, cling together, all of you, against me. That's 3.2 ::CLING :=Captain: be something to take hold of -- to cling to; as it is, there are only shadows, 3.1 ::CLOTHES :=Nurse: God forgive me. I took them out of his clothes when Nojd brought them out to br 2.3 ::CLOUDED :=Captain: so much, that soon my reason will be clouded and my mind will begin to wander. 3.2 ::CLUB :=Captain: Omphale! Omphale! Playing with the club while Hercules spins your wool! 3.2 ::CLUB :=Captain: Wake up, Hercules, or they'll take you club from you. You'd trick us out of our 1.3 ::COAL :=Captain: to spectrum analysis, and I've found coal -- a sign of life! What do you say to 1.1 ::COAT :=Captain: own way. Let me help you on with your coat. 3.1 ::COAT :=Nurse: you and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. And then 3.2 ::COAT :=Captain: days it was the smith who forged the coat of mail, now it's the sempstress. Omphale! 2.3 ::COCKS :=Captain: Those who once crowed were no longer cocks but only capons, and the pullets answered 2.1 ::COFFEE-POT :=Nurse: hall. Go to bed now -- and take the coffee-pot away, or the master'll be ang 2.3 ::COGS :=Captain: at it so that soon it will slip its cogs and then the whole works will whirr 1.1 ::COLD :=Pastor: It's certainly turned cold tonight. Thank you. You ought to look 2.1 ::COLD :=Nurse: No I don't think so -- just a cold. 2.2 ::COLD :=Captain: I thought Margret said it was a cold. There seems to be quite a difference 3.2 ::COLD :=Captain: over me, I'm cold -- terribly cold. 3.2 ::COLD :=Captain: given me, Margret? It's so hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside me -- 3.2 ::COLD :=Captain: Margret? It's so hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside me -- here, on 3.2 ::COLD :=Captain: head. And put something over me, I'm cold -- terribly cold. 1.3 ::COLLAPSES :=Doctor: if it is affected, the whole mind collapses. 2.3 ::COLLECT :=Captain: to the post-office this evening to collect the letters. From them it appears 2.3 ::COLONEL :=Captain: since there's hardly anyone, from the Colonel to the cook, who believes me sane. 3.1 ::COLONEL :=Laura: meanwhile, I've sent a message to the Colonel, and now I'm trying to look into 3.1 ::COLONEL :=Nojd: There's a note from the Colonel. 3.1 ::COLONEL'S :=Laura: Then wait outside while I answer the Colonel's letter. 1.1 ::COLOUR :=Pastor: Yes, are you feeling off colour? 1.1 ::COME :=Nojd: I . . . But you know yourself, Pastor, that nothing need come of that. 1.1 ::COME :=Pastor: Come on, speak out! -- I know her. 1.2 ::COME :=Laura: is nothing to do with me. Did my lords come to any decision at this evening's s 1.3 ::COME :=Laura: Come in, Doctor, we're delighted to see you. 1.4 ::COME :=Bertha: doesn't, but I have to make something come. This evening I thought I was doing 1.4 ::COME :=Bertha: just like a winter night; but when you come, Papa, it's like the spring morning 1.4 ::COME :=Captain: Yes, when it come to getting your own way you have the 1.4 ::COME :=Laura: Come along, or they'll be. . . asking tiresome 1.4 ::COME :=Nurse: Supper's ready. Won't you please come out and have it. 1.4 ::COME :=Nurse: you're the father of your own child. Come and have supper, now, and don't sit 1.4 ::COME :=Nurse: best; and when he's in trouble, he'll come back to her again, like a good little 1.4 ::COME :=Nurse: don't sit there sulking. There, there; come along now! 2.1 ::COME :=Doctor: your mother wasn't well and that I'd come to see her. 2.1 ::COME :=Laura: Will you come in here, Doctor? 2.2 ::COME :=Captain: that if any dead husband were to come to life, he'd be believed? Good night, 2.3 ::COME :=Captain: Come in, then we can talk. I heard you out 2.3 ::COME :=Captain: have been waiting for, and that may come at any time. That brings you to the 2.3 ::COME :=Captain: then? If I die my life insurance will come to you. But if I take my own life, you 2.3 ::COME :=Captain: me, since I don't believe in a life to come, my child was my after-life. She was 2.3 ::COME :=Laura: like an overgrown child, as if you'd come into the world too soon, or perhaps 3.1 ::COME :=Doctor: Would you kindly ask the nurse to come in. 3.1 ::COME :=Laura: Let him come in. 3.2 ::COME :=Captain: It's so hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside me -- here, on the chair. 3.2 ::COME :=Captain: was, and what it is now. You never wanted it to come to this, and nor did I; 1.1 ::COMES :=Captain: standard. Then, this summer, along comes a young whippersnapper who knows better, 1.1 ::COMES :=Nojd: way it was. I always say nothing ever comes of it unless the girl wants it, to 1.2 ::COMES :=Captain: my room. Let me know when the Doctor comes, please. 2.1 ::COMES :=Doctor: Would you like me to stay till he comes back? To avoid suspicion I could say 2.1 ::COMES :=Laura: sit here and wait for him; and when he comes, you're to tell him that my mother's 3.1 ::COMES :=Captain: a more perfect tree; and then someone comes with a knife and cuts them down below 3.1 ::COMES :=Nojd: but it's a different thing when it comes to laying hands on one. 3.2 ::COMES :=Captain: Who is the bearer when the crash comes? Who is the physical father of the 1.3 ::COMING :=Laura: It's just coming. 1.4 ::COMING :=Laura: Thank you. Are you coming to supper? 2.3 ::COMMAND :=Captain: a grown man -- a soldier whose word of command both men and beasts obey? I am a 2.3 ::COMMANDER :=Captain: hand, so that I -- although I was the commander in barracks and on parade -- when 1.4 ::COMMANDS :=Bertha: over a sheet of paper. And then she commands the spirit to write. 2.3 ::COMMIT :=Captain: said that a mother can and should commit any crime for her child's sake? I 2.3 ::COMMITTED :=Laura: plead guilty to a crime that I've not committed. 1.2 ::COMMON :=Captain: only friend I and my household have in common. Bertha is to live in town; she'll 2.3 ::COMPEL :=Captain: me that it was a peach; you could compel me to admire your most childish remark 2.3 ::COMPLAIN :=Captain: us, do we not die? Why shouldn't a man complain, or a soldier cry? Because it's 3.1 ::COMPLAINED :=Captain: you what I said to an English lady who complained of the habit Irishmen have of 2.3 ::COMPLAINING :=Captain: child. I've borne all this without complaining because I imagined that I was 2.2 ::COMPLAINTS :=Captain: the right to make accusations -- or complaints, as they're so cleverly called, 2.2 ::COMPLETELY :=Captain: she preached morality to me, and was completely virtuous -- or so I thought. I 3.1 ::COMPLETELY :=Pastor: But that's appalling. He must be completely mad. What are we to do now? 2.3 ::COMPLETING :=Captain: you and I became one I thought I was completing myself; that's how you got the 1.1 ::COMPROMISE :=Pastor: caused so much argument? Can't you compromise somehow? 1.2 ::COMPROMISE :=Captain: her to live at home. Mathematically, a compromise would mean that she stayed at 1.2 ::COMPROMISE :=Laura: the father and the mother agree on a compromise . . . 1.4 ::CONCEITED :=Captain: think a father would let ignorant and conceited women teach his daughter that he 1.3 ::CONCERNS :=Doctor: It concerns him, then? 2.2 ::CONCERNS :=Captain: On trust when it concerns a woman? That's dangerous! 2.1 ::CONCLUSIONS :=Doctor: said he arrived at his extraordinary conclusions about other heavenly bodies by 2.3 ::CONDEMN :=Captain: that render you suspect, and perhaps condemn you. We'd been married for two years, 2.1 ::CONDITION :=Laura: him outright what you think of his condition? 2.2 ::CONDITIONS :=Captain: So that, under certain conditions, a stallion can sire striped foals 2.3 ::CONDITIONS :=Laura: Under what conditions? 1.3 ::CONFIDE :=Doctor: lady, I'm honoured that you should confide in me, but as a doctor, I must examine 1.2 ::CONFIDENTIAL :=Captain: That's an official and confidential matter -- 2.1 ::CONFINE :=Doctor: I can't probe too deeply; I must confine myself to the obvious symptoms. What's 1.2 ::CONFIRM :=Captain: Then the accounts would confirm that. 1.1 ::CONFIRMATION :=Captain: Well, not so much her confirmation, as her whole education. This 1.1 ::CONFIRMATION :=Pastor: Oh, didn't you want to talk about the confirmation? 1.1 ::CONFIRMATION :=Pastor: about, when this unfortunate business interrupted us? Bertha's confirmation, wasn't 2.3 ::CONFIRMED :=Captain: a long time, but I dared not hear them confirmed. That's how I've suffered for your 2.2 ::CONFOUNDED :=Doctor: husband, I thought to myself "what a confounded shame the fellow's dead". 1.1 ::CONSCIENCE :=Captain: it's a matter for your professional conscience. I'm no witness to the faith, 2.3 ::CONSCIENCE :=Captain: anxiety; I've often lulled your guilty conscience to rest, thinking that I was chasing 3.1 ::CONSCIENCE :=Laura: talk so much, you must have a guilty conscience. Accuse me, if you can! 3.1 ::CONSCIENCE :=Pastor: an asylum. Laura, tell me: is your conscience quite clear in all this? 3.1 ::CONSCIENCE :=Pastor: have no accomplice, not even your own conscience. Look at yourself in the glass! 3.2 ::CONSCIENCE :=Laura: have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, I feel myself innocent even if 3.2 ::CONSCIOUSNESS :=Doctor: No, he may still recover consciousness -- but what sort of consciousness 3.2 ::CONSCIOUSNESS :=Doctor: consciousness -- but what sort of consciousness we don't know. 2.3 ::CONSEQUENCE :=Captain: my incoming and outgoing mail. The consequence is that the loss of time has 2.1 ::CONSEQUENCES :=Doctor: think you can have considered the consequences of such a step. If he were to 3.1 ::CONSIDER :=Doctor: the Captain from behind, as soon as I consider it necessary, so as to forestall 1.4 ::CONSIDERED :=Captain: The child can hardly have any considered opinion about how a young girl's 2.1 ::CONSIDERED :=Doctor: so, but I don't think you can have considered the consequences of such a step. 3.1 ::CONSIDERED :=Doctor: is whether the violence must be considered as an outbreak of rage or of 3.2 ::CONSIDERED :=Laura: I knew nothing about it. I've never considered them, they've simply run on the 2.2 ::CONSOLED :=Captain: her knee, and before morning, I had consoled her. 2.1 ::CONTRIBUTION :=Doctor: but he has actually made a great contribution to science. 2.3 ::CONTROL :=Captain: I have my emotions pretty well under control, so long as my will remains more 2.3 ::CONTROL :=Captain: the child is not mine, then I have no control over her, nor do I desire any. That 2.3 ::CONTROL :=Laura: can get rid of me and then have full control over the child. But I'm not falling 3.1 ::CONTROL :=Laura: You must control yourself Margret. The only hope for 3.1 ::CONVENIENT :=Doctor: the chair or sofa, whichever is more convenient. Will you do this? 2.1 ::CONVERSATION :=Doctor: Madam, I made notes of our conversation, and I remember questioning 3.1 ::CONVICTIONS :=Doctor: Let us set aside convictions for the moment. Madam, it is 3.1 ::CONVICTIONS :=Doctor: Then you have no firm convictions about what would be best for 3.1 ::CONVICTIONS :=Pastor: My firm convictions about higher things -- 2.3 ::CONVINCE :=Captain: you could give me a raw potato and convince me that it was a peach; you could 2.3 ::CONVINCE :=Laura: but if I said it is, that would convince you. In fact, you want it to be 3.1 ::CONVINCE :=Laura: how he's going on up there? Does that convince you? 2.1 ::CONVINCED :=Doctor: gather as we talked, I'm not entirely convinced about the case. In the first place, 2.3 ::CONVINCED :=Captain: If I were convinced that you were guilty, do you imagine 2.3 ::CONVINCED :=Laura: that it's not true, you wouldn't be convinced, but if I said it is, that would 3.1 ::CONVINCED :=Doctor: I'm convinced that he has become violent, but 2.3 ::COOK :=Captain: hardly anyone, from the Colonel to the cook, who believes me sane. Now, the truth 2.3 ::COOLED :=Captain: hurt with the same weapons, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a 2.3 ::COPY :=Laura: of this letter -- of which an attested copy is in the hands of the Board of Gua 1.1 ::CORPSE :=Pastor: she used to lie on the floor like a corpse till she got her own way, then if 2.1 ::CORRESPONDENCE :=Doctor: me as suspicious. He spoke about his correspondence with the booksellers going 1.1 ::COULD :=Pastor: of its life. It isn't as if that boy could help to nurse it. Afterwards, the girl 1.2 ::COULD :=Captain: How could they? I want her to live in the town, 1.2 ::COULD :=Captain: be able to produce accounts, or they could accuse me of negligence. 1.3 ::COULD :=Laura: I'm afraid they're not so good as we could wish. 1.4 ::COULD :=Captain: If you could prove that I were not the father. 1.4 ::COULD :=Captain: I've never said I could. Do you know what meteors are? They're 2.1 ::COULD :=Doctor: From what I could gather as we talked, I'm not entirely 2.1 ::COULD :=Doctor: about making an accusation that could lead to a man being certified. 2.1 ::COULD :=Doctor: he comes back? To avoid suspicion I could say that your mother wasn't well and 2.1 ::COULD :=Laura: of a child. Heaven knows I did all I could to calm him, but I'm beginning to think 2.1 ::COULD :=Laura: he became excited and said that no one could tell who was the father of a child. 2.3 ::COULD :=Captain: see nor hear, but only obey; you could give me a raw potato and convince me 2.3 ::COULD :=Captain: you could hypnotize me so that I could neither see nor hear, but only obey; 2.3 ::COULD :=Captain: as if it were a flash of genius; you could have led me into crime, and even into 2.3 ::COULD :=Captain: convince me that it was a peach; you could compel me to admire your most childish 2.3 ::COULD :=Captain: has turned grey, and all so that you could enjoy a carefree life, and when you 2.3 ::COULD :=Captain: had the advantage. If I was awake, you could hypnotize me so that I could neither 3.1 ::COULD :=Captain: Of course I realize it. But if I could work on your crowned heads for a little, 3.1 ::COULD :=Captain: we know nothing of. Oh, if only we could have known from the first! 3.1 ::COULD :=Captain: and then adopt the children. Then we could at least be sure they were our own 3.1 ::COULD :=Captain: that she was innocent. Ass! Ass! How could he swear to that. You see, by the way, 3.1 ::COULD :=Laura: Mine? How could I be to blame if a man goes out his 3.1 ::COULD :=Pastor: it would suit you very well if you could bring up your child in your own wa 2.1 ::COULDN'T :=Captain: he sure he was the only one? No, he couldn't be, even though you were sure. That's 2.1 ::COULDN'T :=Laura: after the interests of the house; I couldn't stand idly by and let him ruin us 2.3 ::COULDN'T :=Captain: in those days. He explained that you couldn't inherit anything because we had 2.3 ::COULDN'T :=Captain: he asked if you were expecting one. I couldn't hear your answer. I recovered, and 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Captain: they were our own adopted children, couldn't we? But how can all that help me 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Captain: Your mother wanted to eat me, but she couldn't. I am Saturn, who ate his own children 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Nurse: No, doctor, I couldn't, I couldn't! 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Nurse: No, doctor, I couldn't, I couldn't! 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Nurse: stories when you had bad dreams and couldn't sleep? Do you remember? 1.3 ::COUNTRY :=Laura: For people like us, living in a lonely country district, it means so much to have 1.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: Oh, of course Laura has her faults, but they don't 1.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: Oh, of course. 1.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: to persuade her into taking a long course of training for some career more suited 1.1 ::COURSE :=Nojd: Well, of course she and I . . . But you know yourself, 1.1 ::COURSE :=Pastor: Of course. 1.1 ::COURSE :=Pastor: I can't see much help for you, and of course Laura has her supporters -- through 1.2 ::COURSE :=Captain: Of course you must keep accounts. Things are 1.3 ::COURSE :=Doctor: A spectroscope. Oh, of course. So you'll soon be able to tell us 1.3 ::COURSE :=Doctor: Tell me more about him. Of course it is possible that his mind is affected 1.3 ::COURSE :=Laura: has the most extraordinary ideas. Of course that's not unusual with brilliant 1.4 ::COURSE :=Captain: Of course I know! 1.4 ::COURSE :=Nurse: Lord, what a baby you are! Of course you're the father of your own child. 2.1 ::COURSE :=Doctor: Yes; you know, of course, that an insane person loses his civil 2.1 ::COURSE :=Doctor: cases. It depends entirely on what course the illness takes. But we mustn't 2.1 ::COURSE :=Nurse: You're talking like a child! Of course I'm sure, seeing he was the only 2.3 ::COURSE :=Captain: The weaker, of course. 3.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: Of course I realize it. But if I could work 3.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: are you here? And the doctor, of course. Did I ever tell you what I said to 3.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: pale! Oh yes, it's only talk, of course, but heavens, how they do talk. But 3.1 ::COURSE :=Captain: said. "Women?" she simpered. "Yes, of course," I answered. When things get to such 3.1 ::COURSE :=Nojd: Of course I can, but it's a different thing 1.1 ::COURT'LL :=Captain: Then the Court'll have to decide. I've done all I 2.1 ::CRADLE :=Bertha: -- you know, on the left, where the cradle stands. 3.2 ::CRASH :=Captain: liability? Who is the bearer when the crash comes? Who is the physical father of 1.3 ::CRATES :=Laura: Whole crates of books that he never reads. 1.1 ::CRIME :=Pastor: for painting that it would be almost a crime not to encourage it? 2.3 ::CRIME :=Captain: No, I am not. There's a crime lying buried here that's beginning 2.3 ::CRIME :=Captain: to stink -- and what a hellish crime it is! You women pity black slaves 2.3 ::CRIME :=Captain: a mother can and should commit any crime for her child's sake? I implore you, 2.3 ::CRIME :=Captain: of genius; you could have led me into crime, and even into petty meanness. For 2.3 ::CRIME :=Laura: I can hardly plead guilty to a crime that I've not committed. 2.2 ::CROSS :=Captain: true that you get striped foals if you cross a zebra with a mare? 2.3 ::CROWED :=Captain: and cease to be men. Those who once crowed were no longer cocks but only capons, 3.1 ::CROWNED :=Captain: it. But if I could work on your crowned heads for a little, I'd soon have 1.4 ::CRY :=Bertha: be kind to Mama, you know. She does cry such a lot. 2.1 ::CRY :=Nurse: us spreads his wing And through the world resounds his cry: "All must perish, 2.3 ::CRY :=Captain: away some morbid fancy. I've heard you cry out in your sleep, and I've refused to 2.3 ::CRY :=Captain: shouldn't a man complain, or a soldier cry? Because it's unmanly. What make it 2.3 ::CRY :=Laura: Cry then, child, and your mother will be 2.3 ::CRYING :=Captain: Yes, I'm crying, although I'm a man. Has not a man 2.3 ::CRYING :=Laura: What's this? A man, and crying? 3.1 ::CUNNING :=Captain: have you done to me? Woman! You're as cunning as the devil! Who'd have thought 3.2 ::CUNNING :=Captain: away from me. Omphale! Omphale! You cunning woman -- who wanted peace and preached 2.1 ::CURSE :=Nurse: I say? You mark my words, there's a curse on this house. What did you hear, 3.2 ::CURSE :=Captain: weakness. Damn you, you she-devil, curse your whole sex! What sort of pillow 1.2 ::CUT :=Laura: Then it must be cut! What was Nojd doing here? 2.3 ::CUT :=Captain: to gather the fruits of success, you cut off my arm. I am dishonoured now and 3.1 ::CUTS :=Captain: then someone comes with a knife and cuts them down below the graft, so that now 1.1 ::D'YOU :=Pastor: like me to preach at him. What effect d'you think God's word would have on a t 3.2 ::DAMN :=Captain: is brought down by scheming weakness. Damn you, you she-devil, curse your whole 3.1 ::DAMNATION :=Captain: Go to bed when he's just been dressed? Damnation! What have you done to me? Woman! 1.1 ::DANCE :=Nojd: it was like this. We were having a dance at Gabriel's, you see, and Ludwig was 2.2 ::DANGEROUS :=Captain: was in love with me. That's what's so dangerous -- that their innate dishonesty 2.2 ::DANGEROUS :=Captain: trust when it concerns a woman? That's dangerous! 1.1 ::DARE :=Captain: I dare say, but I have more than my share. 1.4 ::DARE :=Bertha: I'm sorry, but I didn't dare. Grandmama says the spirits take their 3.1 ::DARE :=Laura: And you dare to say that to me, his wife? 3.1 ::DARE :=Pastor: Look at yourself in the glass! You dare not! 2.3 ::DARED :=Captain: my suspicions for a long time, but I dared not hear them confirmed. That's how 2.1 ::DAREN'T :=Bertha: What does it matter? I daren't stay up there all alone, I think 1.4 ::DARLING :=Captain: My dear, darling child! 1.4 ::DARLING :=Captain: What's the matter, darling? Tell me. 3.1 ::DARLING :=Captain: Bertha, dear, darling child -- because you are my child 3.1 ::DARLING :=Captain: me your teeth. But don't be afraid, my darling child, I shan't do you any harm. 1.1 ::DAUGHTER :=Captain: of women who all want to bring up my daughter. My mother-in-law wants to make 1.1 ::DAUGHTER :=Captain: I will not become a pander for my own daughter, and bring her up with no idea except 1.4 ::DAUGHTER :=Captain: ignorant and conceited women teach his daughter that he is a charlatan? 1.4 ::DAUGHTER :=Laura: has taught her is stupid? Why, the daughter would despise her for the rest of 3.1 ::DAUGHTER :=Captain: the subject now? Christ! That's my daughter! Is she mine? We can't be sure. 3.2 ::DAUGHTER :=Captain: in return for the love I gave her. My daughter became my enemy, when she had to 1.1 ::DAY :=Captain: other. It's man versus woman the whole day long in this house, without a break. 1.4 ::DAY :=Captain: Well, one day you'll meet your match -- and you'll 2.3 ::DAY :=Captain: since you knew perfectly well that one day this work will bring me far more honour 3.1 ::DAY :=Pastor: Good evening, Laura, I've been out all day, I expect they told you; I've only just 2.3 ::DAYS :=Captain: moonlight, just as in the good old days. It had only been a little morning nap, 2.3 ::DAYS :=Captain: property that I still owned in those days. He explained that you couldn't inherit 3.2 ::DAYS :=Captain: marriage, perhaps? In the old days, a man married a wife, now he enters 3.2 ::DAYS :=Captain: then -- or is it a goddess these days? Take away this cat that's lying on 3.2 ::DAYS :=Captain: before it became tinsel. In the olden days it was the smith who forged the coat 2.2 ::DEAD :=Captain: alive? And do you suppose that if any dead husband were to come to life, he'd be 2.2 ::DEAD :=Doctor: "what a confounded shame the fellow's dead". 2.2 ::DEAD :=Doctor: when I heard Mrs Alving eulogizing her dead husband, I thought to myself "what a 3.1 ::DEAD :=Captain: turned pale, too! But cheer up, she's dead and buried, and what's done can't be 3.2 ::DEAD :=Captain: never let me be till you had me lying dead. 3.2 ::DEAD :=Pastor: Is he dead? 1.1 ::DEAR :=Captain: Well, as you know, my dear brother-in-law, it hasn't had much on 1.1 ::DEAR :=Captain: me as if I still wore a bib. She's a dear old soul, heaven knows, but she oughtn't 1.1 ::DEAR :=Pastor: No, thanks, my dear chap, I promised I'd be in to supper, 1.1 ::DEAR :=Pastor: Then may heaven help you, my dear chap, because I can't see much help 1.1 ::DEAR :=Pastor: your wife, she must be perfect! No, my dear chap, she's really the one who plagues 1.3 ::DEAR :=Captain: Ah, there you are, Margret. Look, my dear, do you know if the annexe is ready 1.3 ::DEAR :=Doctor: My dear Captain, I'm delighted to meet such 1.3 ::DEAR :=Doctor: My dear lady, I'm honoured that you should confide 1.3 ::DEAR :=Laura: Yes -- my poor, dear husband. 1.4 ::DEAR :=Captain: My dear, darling child! 1.4 ::DEAR :=Captain: Yes, my dear, I do, but you don't know what is best 1.4 ::DEAR :=Captain: What do you want, my dear? Is anything the matter? 1.4 ::DEAR :=Captain: Do you imagine I've forgotten it, dear? You've been like a mother to me. Up 2.1 ::DEAR :=Nurse: Oh dear, oh dear! And such a fearful night too, 2.1 ::DEAR :=Nurse: Oh dear, oh dear! And such a fearful night too, I'm sure 2.1 ::DEAR :=Nurse: Yes, but, my dear, this will never do. It's gone twelve 2.1 ::DEAR :=Nurse: Naught but agony was there." Yes, dear child, God send us a happy Christma 3.1 ::DEAR :=Captain: Bertha, dear, darling child -- because you are my 3.1 ::DEAR :=Laura: Yes, my dear. I've never been through anything like 3.1 ::DEAR :=Nurse: if you remember when you were my dear little boy and I used to tuck you up 3.2 ::DEAR :=Laura: Give me your hand, my dear. 2.1 ::DEAREST :=Doctor: how infuriating it can be when one's dearest wishes are thwarted and one's will 2.1 ::DEATH :=Nurse: must fall beneath his doom, Sorrow alone escapes our death, to carve upon the 2.3 ::DEATH :=Laura: Yes, power. What has all this life and death struggle been about except power? 3.1 ::DEATH :=Captain: me kill the child? Life's a hell, and death is the Kingdom of Heaven; children 3.1 ::DEATH :=Nurse: How do you know what happens after death! 3.2 ::DEATH :=Pastor: First death, and after that the Judgement . . 2.1 ::DEATH'S :=Nurse: and wretched thing Is life, that swiftly passes by. Death's angel o'er us 2.3 ::DEATH'S :=Captain: know why not. I became ill, and was at death's door. Once, when the fever had abated 3.1 ::DEATH-BED :=Captain: wound in his chest from a duel. On his death-bed he swore that she was innocent. 3.2 ::DEATH-BED :=Laura: Is that all you have to say at this death-bed, Doctor? 2.3 ::DEATH-BLOW :=Captain: you, as a wounded man begs for the death-blow -- tell me everything. Don't you 3.2 ::DEBAUCHES :=Captain: sets up house with a friend. Then he debauches the partner, and violates the friend. 1.1 ::DECENT :=Pastor: glimpse of him, on my way. He seemed a decent, reliable sort of chap. 1.1 ::DECIDE :=Captain: Then the Court'll have to decide. I've done all I can. Besides, it's 1.1 ::DECIDE :=Captain: it would all be wasted if she ever did decide to marry. 1.3 ::DECIDE :=Captain: No, I'm not going to decide; you must say which you'd prefer -- 1.3 ::DECIDE :=Doctor: You must decide, Captain. 1.3 ::DECIDE :=Doctor: Well, I can't really decide. 1.3 ::DECIDE :=Laura: it, he loses interest, and asks me to decide for him. 1.4 ::DECIDE :=Laura: But think very carefully before you decide to do anything. Above all, don't make 3.1 ::DECIDE :=Doctor: the moment. Madam, it is for you to decide whether your husband is liable to 1.4 ::DECIDED :=Laura: since it's her future that's to be decided. 1.1 ::DECIDING :=Captain: of it is, it looks to me as if they're deciding Bertha's future in there out of 1.2 ::DECISION :=Laura: do with me. Did my lords come to any decision at this evening's session? 1.3 ::DECISION :=Laura: years now, and he's never yet made a decision without changing his mind after 3.1 ::DECLARES :=Captain: speaking to Athene. "My mother indeed declares that he -- meaning Odysseus -- is 3.1 ::DECLINE :=Pastor: No, I must decline. 2.1 ::DEEP-ROOTED :=Doctor: Yes, yes, yes, a case like this is deep-rooted, and what with the sanctity of 1.3 ::DEEPLY :=Doctor: Madam, I'm deeply moved by your misfortune, and I promise 2.1 ::DEEPLY :=Doctor: life, and so forth, I can't probe too deeply; I must confine myself to the obvious 3.2 ::DEFORMED :=Captain: of its nourishment, till I was nearly deformed. My sister was my enemy, when she 1.3 ::DELIGHTED :=Doctor: My dear Captain, I'm delighted to meet such a distinguished man 1.3 ::DELIGHTED :=Laura: Come in, Doctor, we're delighted to see you. The Captain is out, 1.3 ::DELIGHTED :=Laura: Really? Well, I shall be delighted if we, who are nearest to him, 3.1 ::DELIVER :=Laura: Did you deliver the note? 3.1 ::DENY :=Pastor: Well, you can hardly deny that it would suit you very well if 1.1 ::DEPENDS :=Pastor: Possibly. It depends how much he's lived among women. 2.1 ::DEPENDS :=Doctor: and then only in exceptional cases. It depends entirely on what course the illness 3.1 ::DEPLORABLE :=Pastor: It's a deplorable business, but I always expected 2.3 ::DESCENDED :=Captain: prejudice. If it's true that we're descended from apes, it must at least have 1.4 ::DESERT :=Captain: but now, when I really need you, you desert me and go over to the enemy. 1.4 ::DESERT :=Captain: with me. Listen to me, Margret; if you desert me now, you'd be doing me a great 2.3 ::DESIRE :=Captain: I have no control over her, nor do I desire any. That is just what you want, isn't 3.2 ::DESIRE :=Laura: that I was swayed by an obscure desire to be rid of you, as something that 2.2 ::DESPICABLE :=Captain: unconsciously that woman was so despicable that she went and told her husband 1.4 ::DESPISE :=Laura: her is stupid? Why, the daughter would despise her for the rest of her life. 2.3 ::DESPISED :=Captain: understood why. And when I thought you despised me for my unmanliness, I wanted 3.2 ::DESTINY :=Doctor: believe there's a god who rules man's destiny, you must refer this affair to H 2.3 ::DESTROY :=Captain: Laura, don't destroy me and my reason! You don't understand 3.1 ::DESTROY :=Captain: is! But I know that a man's belief can destroy him -- that's what I know! 1.4 ::DETAILS :=Laura: give the name of the real father, with details of the time and place; for instance 1.3 ::DEVELOP :=Doctor: patient strongly. Ideas like that can develop rapidly in an unstable mind, and 1.4 ::DEVELOP :=Captain: about how a young girl's life may develop. We, on the other hand, have seen 1.3 ::DEVIL :=Captain: Yes, but the devil of it is that I shan't get my treatise 1.4 ::DEVIL :=Captain: your own way you have the power of the devil, but so has everyone who's unscrupulous 3.1 ::DEVIL :=Captain: to me? Woman! You're as cunning as the devil! Who'd have thought you had the sense? 2.2 ::DEVOUT :=Captain: of the strictest principles, and very devout; she preached morality to me, and 1.3 ::DIAGNOSIS :=Doctor: for myself before I make my diagnosis. Does the Captain show any symptoms 2.2 ::DIAGNOSIS :=Captain: I should be able to give you the full diagnosis and, what is more, the case history. 1.1 ::DID :=Captain: it would all be wasted if she ever did decide to marry. 1.2 ::DID :=Laura: Why did you take in such a ne'er-do-well? 1.2 ::DID :=Laura: education is nothing to do with me. Did my lords come to any decision at this 1.3 ::DID :=Doctor: Yes, your charming wife did give me one or two hints about things 1.4 ::DID :=Captain: you get rid of Dr Nordling, and how did you get the new man here? 1.4 ::DID :=Captain: unscrupulous enough. For example, how did you get rid of Dr Nordling, and how did 1.4 ::DID :=Laura: Well? How did I? 2.1 ::DID :=Captain: Did Johansson admit that he was the fath 2.1 ::DID :=Laura: Yes, I did. It was my duty to look after the interests 2.1 ::DID :=Laura: the father of a child. Heaven knows I did all I could to calm him, but I'm beginning 2.1 ::DID :=Nurse: Did you want something, ma'am? Is master 2.1 ::DID :=Nurse: There now, what did I say? You mark my words, there's a curse 2.1 ::DID :=Nurse: there's a curse on this house. What did you hear, Bertha? 2.3 ::DID :=Captain: instead of carrying out my ideas, you did things in your own way. But when I eventually 3.1 ::DID :=Bertha: Yes, you did! Suppose she's been hurt. 3.1 ::DID :=Bertha: Do you know what you did? Do you know that you threw the lamp 3.1 ::DID :=Captain: Did I? 3.1 ::DID :=Captain: Did you take out the cartridges? 3.1 ::DID :=Captain: you here? And the doctor, of course. Did I ever tell you what I said to an English 3.1 ::DID :=Laura: Did he give you the keys? 3.1 ::DID :=Laura: Did you deliver the note? 3.1 ::DID :=Laura: I think he did love me once, but time -- time changes 3.1 ::DID :=Nurse: Well, I did tidy them away, but you just sit quietly 3.1 ::DID :=Pastor: Tell me, how did it all begin? I've heard so many different 3.2 ::DID :=Captain: is now. You never wanted it to come to this, and nor did I; yet this has happened. 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: the kitchen, you scoundrel. Well, why didn't you pitch into him? 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: at him, I've even thrashed him, but it didn't make the slightest impression on 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: going into a cage full of tigers; if I didn't keep my red-hot irons under their 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Pastor: Nojd? Didn't he do rather well earlier this ye 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Pastor: To tell you the truth, I didn't really know what to say. It's hard 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Pastor: all I say. Goodbye, old man -- Oh, didn't you want to talk about the confir 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Pastor: What do you mean? I let him have it, didn't I? 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: him; your mother wanted him because I didn't. The governess wanted him because 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Laura: I can't help it if the lodger didn't pay. 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Laura: with brilliant scholars -- if only it didn't threaten his whole family's welfare. 1.4 ::DIDN'T :=Bertha: I'm sorry, but I didn't dare. Grandmama says the spirits take 1.4 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: I didn't say so. That's why you must believe 1.4 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: Good heavens! Why didn't you tell me? 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Laura: No, I didn't know that. 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Laura: As if I didn't know that. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: Didn't being a father sometimes make you 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: He ought to say "my wife's children"! Didn't you ever realize what a false position 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: on the wall because -- because I didn't want to hear any more. I'd had my 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Laura: Why didn't we separate in time? 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Laura: imagine that I gave myself to you; I didn't give, I took -- just what I wanted. 3.2 ::DIDN'T :=Captain: you're all my enemies. My mother, who didn't want to bring me into the world because 2.2 ::DIE :=Captain: my chest and hold my breath till I die. Good night. 2.3 ::DIE :=Captain: and where will you be then? If I die my life insurance will come to you. But 2.3 ::DIE :=Captain: not laugh; if you poison us, do we not die? Why shouldn't a man complain, or a soldier 3.1 ::DIE :=Captain: my brain, while I whither away and die, because it was the best part of myself 3.1 ::DIE :=Captain: outwitted -- they won't even let me die! 3.1 ::DIE :=Captain: that I gave away. And now I want to die. Do what you like to me, I no longer 3.2 ::DIE :=Captain: why the future is theirs, and we die childless. "Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, 3.1 ::DIED :=Captain: Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet, died in agony caused much more by the rumours 3.2 ::DIES :=Captain: of love -- healthy physical love? It dies in the process. And what is the issue 1.3 ::DIFFERENCE :=Captain: say which you'd prefer -- it makes no difference to me -- none whatever. 2.1 ::DIFFERENCE :=Captain: No, you can't see it, but the difference is there all the same. Do you 2.1 ::DIFFERENCE :=Captain: even though you were sure. That's the difference, you see. 2.1 ::DIFFERENCE :=Nurse: I don't see any difference. 2.2 ::DIFFERENCE :=Captain: was a cold. There seems to be quite a difference of opinion about the case. Go 1.4 ::DIFFERENT :=Laura: But since we have different ideas, surely Bertha might have 2.2 ::DIFFERENT :=Captain: 100, but that hundred mark varies with different boilers, if you see what I mean. 2.3 ::DIFFERENT :=Captain: it must at least have been from two different species. Certainly there's no resemblance 3.1 ::DIFFERENT :=Captain: What's so different about it? Haven't they been laying 3.1 ::DIFFERENT :=Nojd: Of course I can, but it's a different thing when it comes to laying hands 3.1 ::DIFFERENT :=Pastor: did it all begin? I've heard so many different stories. 1.4 ::DIFFICULT :=Laura: That wouldn't be difficult. Would you like me to? 1.4 ::DIFFICULT :=Laura: be. . . asking tiresome questions. Don't be difficult. All right, if you won't, 2.3 ::DIMENSIONS :=Captain: man eyes? Has not a man hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? 3.1 ::DIRECTLY :=Captain: There you are! Directly I mentioned horns, he wants to change 3.1 ::DIRECTLY :=Captain: be accepted by society, then separate directly after, and become lover and mistress, 3.2 ::DISARMAMENT :=Captain: woman -- who wanted peace and preached disarmament. Wake up, Hercules, or they'll 1.1 ::DISCIPLINE :=Pastor: Strict discipline -- that's what Laura had; but, 1.2 ::DISCOURTEOUS :=Captain: please. Naturally I don't want to seem discourteous to him. 2.1 ::DISCOVER :=Doctor: of such a step. If he were to discover that you've been secretly meddling 1.4 ::DISCOVERED :=Laura: nearer to the child -- since it's been discovered that no one can tell for certain 1.3 ::DISCOVERY :=Captain: I really believe I'm on the verge of a discovery. 2.3 ::DISCOVERY :=Captain: noble action -- some achievement, some discovery, or an honourable suicide. I should 1.1 ::DISGRACEFUL :=Pastor: Er -- don't you think it's rather disgraceful to leave a girl penniless like 2.2 ::DISHONESTY :=Captain: so dangerous -- that their innate dishonesty is quite unconscious. That's an 2.3 ::DISHONOURED :=Captain: of success, you cut off my arm. I am dishonoured now and I can no longer live, 1.1 ::DISMISSED :=Pastor: future might be ruined of he were dismissed from the regiment. 2.1 ::DISORDER :=Doctor: cleared of any suspicion of mental disorder, but he has actually made a great 1.3 ::DISTINGUISHED :=Doctor: Captain, I'm delighted to meet such a distinguished man of science. 1.3 ::DISTRICT :=Laura: like us, living in a lonely country district, it means so much to have a doctor 2.3 ::DIVULGE :=Captain: can be quite sure that I shall never divulge it. Do you think a man would go and 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: What do you mean? Don't you know? 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: That's good. Do you think he might be on my side? 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: What has Ludwig to do with it? Stick to the point. 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: without a break. Oh, must you go? Do stay for supper -- it won't be anything 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: have a little talk to him. You might do him some good. I've sworn at him, I've 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: innocent -- we'll never know; but we do know that the girl's guilty -- if you 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: it won't be anything very grand, but do stay; I'm expecting the new doctor, you 1.1 ::DO :=Captain: men being made to see that women can do this, that, and the other. It's man versus 1.1 ::DO :=Pastor: Do you think I don't know? 1.1 ::DO :=Pastor: What do you mean? I let him have it, didn't I 1.1 ::DO :=Pastor: Nojd? Didn't he do rather well earlier this year? 1.2 ::DO :=Captain: That's nothing to do with you. 1.2 ::DO :=Captain: enthusiastic about the man? You. Why do you recommend such a -- what shall I call 1.2 ::DO :=Laura: Do I have to keep accounts, now? 1.2 ::DO :=Laura: Thank you so much! And do you keep an account of what you spend 1.2 ::DO :=Laura: as my child's education is nothing to do with me. Did my lords come to any decision 1.3 ::DO :=Captain: Thank you; that's better. Do forgive me, Doctor, but nothing annoys 1.3 ::DO :=Captain: found coal -- a sign of life! What do you say to that? 1.3 ::DO :=Captain: there you are, Margret. Look, my dear, do you know if the annexe is ready for the 1.3 ::DO :=Doctor: Does he say that he can do that? 1.3 ::DO :=Doctor: turn to obsessions or monomania. Do you understand? 1.4 ::DO :=Bertha: She says you can't do magic. 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: Do you believe that there are such things 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: Do you imagine I've forgotten it, dear? You've 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: Do you think a father would let ignorant 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: What do you want, my dear? Is anything the ma 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: Yes, my dear, I do, but you don't know what is best for me. 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: What has that got to do with it? 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: I've never said I could. Do you know what meteors are? They're stones 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: a lot about you, but not that. Nor do I believe that you'd talk about it if 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: from other heavenly bodies. What I do is to examine then, and say whether they're 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: you must leave this house. Will you do that? Would you like to go to the town 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: she doesn't want it -- what shall we do then? 1.4 ::DO :=Captain: Bertha's father. Tell me, Margret, you do believe that, don't you? 1.4 ::DO :=Laura: Can't I? Do you really think that a mother is going 1.4 ::DO :=Laura: your own doctrine. Besides, how do you know that I haven't been unfaithful 1.4 ::DO :=Laura: very carefully before you decide to do anything. Above all, don't make yourself 1.4 ::DO :=Nurse: Adolf, how can you say such a thing? Do you think I can forget how you were my 1.4 ::DO :=Nurse: understand anything about that. But I do think you ought to be able to agree. 2.1 ::DO :=Captain: What do you want? 2.1 ::DO :=Captain: the difference is there all the same. Do you think Bertha's like me? 2.1 ::DO :=Laura: Yes, that would do splendidly. Don't leave us, Doctor; if 2.1 ::DO :=Nurse: Yes, but, my dear, this will never do. It's gone twelve o'clock, and you've 2.2 ::DO :=Captain: Do you think he would have spoken if he'd 2.2 ::DO :=Captain: about the case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit down, doctor. 2.2 ::DO :=Captain: have spoken if he'd been alive? And do you suppose that if any dead husband were 2.2 ::DO :=Captain: the misfortune to be a man, I can only do like the Romans, and fold my arms over 2.2 ::DO :=Doctor: There's nothing more that I can do in this case. 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: Are you sure? Do you think a man can live when there's 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: One word first -- about realities: do you hate me? 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: summer as a woman. If you prick us, do we not bleed; of you tickle us, do we 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: sure that I shall never divulge it. Do you think a man would go and trumpet his 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: then I have no control over her, nor do I desire any. That is just what you want, 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: suffered for your sake; what will you do for me? 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: I were convinced that you were guilty, do you imagine I would take on another man's 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: us, do we not bleed; of you tickle us, do we not laugh; if you poison us, do we 2.3 ::DO :=Captain: us, do we not laugh; if you poison us, do we not die? Why shouldn't a man complain, 2.3 ::DO :=Laura: What do you mean by all this? 2.3 ::DO :=Laura: What can I do? I swear before God and all that I hold 2.3 ::DO :=Laura: you'll kill yourself. You'll never do that. 2.3 ::DO :=Laura: your mother will be with you again. Do you remember that, when I first came into 3.1 ::DO :=Bertha: Do you know what you did? Do you know that 3.1 ::DO :=Bertha: Do you know what you did? Do you know that you threw the lamp at M 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: That's the only thing we do know, it's life that we know nothing of. 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: Is she mine? We can't be sure. Do you know what we'd have to do to be sure? 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: interest you -- nor anyone else. Do you want to change the subject now? Christ! 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: I gave away. And now I want to die. Do what you like to me, I no longer exis 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: What's that? I'm not your father? How do you know? Who told you so? Who is your 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: be afraid, my darling child, I shan't do you any harm. 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: you know what I mean. Tell me, Jonas, do you believe that you're the father of 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: I have nothing to live for? What can I do with my life now that my honour's gone? 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: be sure. Do you know what we'd have to do to be sure? Marry first, so as to be accepted 3.1 ::DO :=Captain: talk, of course, but heavens, how they do talk. But we're all laughing-stocks anyway, 3.1 ::DO :=Doctor: madam, should really be the one to do it, but I fear that he mistrusts even 3.1 ::DO :=Doctor: would be best for your family. What do you say, Pastor? 3.1 ::DO :=Doctor: whichever is more convenient. Will you do this? 3.1 ::DO :=Laura: Do you? Hm. 3.1 ::DO :=Laura: Just what do you mean by that? 3.1 ::DO :=Laura: Why don't you do it yourself, Doctor? 3.1 ::DO :=Laura: not to know anything about all this, do you understand? 3.1 ::DO :=Laura: there's much to be done, I'm afraid. Do you hear how he's going on up there? Does 3.1 ::DO :=Nojd: Yes, but I can't do it, Captain. It's just as if you were 3.1 ::DO :=Nojd: If there's anything I can do for the Captain, he knows I'll do it. 3.1 ::DO :=Nojd: inside me -- like religion. I can't do it. 3.1 ::DO :=Nojd: can do for the Captain, he knows I'll do it. 3.1 ::DO :=Nojd: help you, Captain, really, but I can't do that, honestly I can't. I'd take on half 3.1 ::DO :=Nurse: How do you know what happens after death! 3.1 ::DO :=Nurse: but you must pay attention, then. Do you remember that time you took the big 3.1 ::DO :=Nurse: at night and read you "Gentle Jesus"? Do you remember how I used to get up in the 3.1 ::DO :=Nurse: him -- Nojd might hurt him. I'd sooner do it myself, gently -- very gently. But 3.1 ::DO :=Nurse: in case I need any help -- yes, he can do that. 3.1 ::DO :=Nurse: you had bad dreams and couldn't sleep? Do you remember? 3.1 ::DO :=Pastor: What do you know? 3.1 ::DO :=Pastor: Adolf, do you realize that you're not in your right 3.1 ::DO :=Pastor: must be completely mad. What are we to do now? 3.2 ::DO :=Captain: Yes, I do! I believe that you're all my enemies. 3.2 ::DO :=Doctor: there's nothing more that my skill can do. It's up to you to try yours now, Pas 3.2 ::DO :=Laura: Do you want to see your child, Adolf? Do 3.2 ::DO :=Laura: Adolf -- look at me. Do you believe that I'm your enemy? 3.2 ::DO :=Laura: Do you want to see your child, Adolf? Do you? 1.1 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: but do stay; I'm expecting the new doctor, you know. Have you seen him yet? 1.2 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: go up to my room. Let me know when the Doctor comes, please. 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: Oh, you're here already, Doctor. We're very glad to see you. 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: you; that's better. Do forgive me, Doctor, but nothing annoys me more than to 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: know if the annexe is ready for the Doctor? 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: Good. Then I won't keep you any longer, Doctor; you must be tired. Goodbye, and I 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Doctor: But not from one's doctor. 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Doctor: you should confide in me, but as a doctor, I must examine and investigate for 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: Come in, Doctor, we're delighted to see you. The Captain 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: district, it means so much to have a doctor who takes an interest in his patients; 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: heard so many nice things about you, Doctor, that I'm sure we shall get on well 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: it's true? Then you don't believe me, Doctor. And I've been letting you into our 2.1 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: Will you come in here, Doctor? 2.1 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: admitted, in his own letter to the doctor, that he was afraid his mind was 2.1 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: would do splendidly. Don't leave us, Doctor; if you only knew how anxious I am. 2.2 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: How terrible. Here's the doctor. Good evening doctor. How's my mo 2.2 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: Here's the doctor. Good evening doctor. How's my mother-in-law? 2.2 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: and no more. But listen to this, doctor; unconsciously that woman was so despicable 2.2 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit down, doctor. 2.2 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: to life, he'd be believed? Good night, doctor. As you see, I'm quite calm, so you 2.3 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: This! Your admission to the doctor that you are insane. You've fulfilled 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: Ah, Jonas, are you here? And the doctor, of course. Did I ever tell you what 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: anyway, we married men, aren't we, doctor? How was your marriage bed? Wasn't 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Captain: by the way; he's now -- look at me, Doctor . . . no, straight in the face -- 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: Why don't you do it yourself, Doctor? 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: the Doctor. I'm glad to see you, Doctor; you, at any rate, will help me, won't 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: and I'll look after mine. Here's the Doctor. I'm glad to see you, Doctor; you, 3.1 ::DOCTOR :=Nurse: No, doctor, I couldn't, I couldn't! 3.2 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: Help, Doctor, if it's not too late. Look, he's 3.2 ::DOCTOR :=Laura: all you have to say at this death-bed, Doctor? 1.3 ::DOCTOR'S :=Captain: or would you rather have the old doctor's quarters? 1.4 ::DOCTOR'S :=Captain: plotting against me now -- and that Doctor's no friend of mine. 2.1 ::DOCTOR'S :=Laura: my mother's ill, and that's why the doctor's here. 2.1 ::DOCTOR'S :=Nurse: The old lady's ill, and the doctor's here. 3.1 ::DOCTOR'S :=Laura: try to stop any more outbreaks -- the doctor's sent to the hospital for a strait-jacket. 1.4 ::DOCTRINE :=Laura: No, I'm simply applying your own doctrine. Besides, how do you know that I 1.1 ::DOES :=Captain: for a family on their pay. And if she does marry, she can use her training in bringing 1.3 ::DOES :=Doctor: Does he say that he can do that? 1.3 ::DOES :=Doctor: That's insignificant. What does he buy? 1.3 ::DOES :=Doctor: for myself before I make my diagnosis. Does the Captain show any symptoms of sudden 1.4 ::DOES :=Bertha: must be kind to Mama, you know. She does cry such a lot. 1.4 ::DOES :=Captain: Does she? Does she indeed? What else does 1.4 ::DOES :=Captain: Does she? Does she indeed? What else does she say? 1.4 ::DOES :=Captain: Does she? Does she indeed? What else does she say? 2.1 ::DOES :=Bertha: What does it matter? I daren't stay up there all 2.1 ::DOES :=Doctor: One never does that with a mental patient, unless he 3.1 ::DOES :=Laura: you hear how he's going on up there? Does that convince you? 3.2 ::DOES :=Captain: All that sounds very plausible, but how does it help me? And who is to blame? A spiritual 1.1 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: want her to be a teacher. Then, if she doesn't marry, she can always support herself 1.1 ::DOESN'T :=Pastor: with a baby? Don't you think so? Well? Doesn't it strike you that that sort of behaviour's 1.2 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: That question doesn't arise in this case. Is there anything 1.4 ::DOESN'T :=Bertha: Grandmama doesn't tell lies. 1.4 ::DOESN'T :=Bertha: it won't go at all. When I'm tired, it doesn't, but I have to make something come. 1.4 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: But suppose she doesn't? 1.4 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: But suppose Mama doesn't want you to. 1.4 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: you want it and I want it, but she doesn't want it -- what shall we do then 2.1 ::DOESN'T :=Nurse: child, with his kind of illness he doesn't have to go to bed. Ssh -- there's 2.2 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn't alter my judgement, even if it mitigates 2.2 ::DOESN'T :=Doctor: One swallow doesn't make a summer. 3.1 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: I'm mad; but what sent me mad? That doesn't interest you -- nor anyone else. 3.2 ::DOESN'T :=Captain: My child? A man doesn't have children, it's only women who 1.2 ::DOING :=Laura: Then it must be cut! What was Nojd doing here? 1.4 ::DOING :=Bertha: come. This evening I thought I was doing it beautifully, but Grandmama said 1.4 ::DOING :=Bertha: pen writes but I don't know if it's me doing it. Sometimes it works beautifully, 1.4 ::DOING :=Captain: if you desert me now, you'd be doing me a great wrong. You see they're plotting 3.1 ::DOING :=Nurse: Mr Adolf! What are you doing? 3.1 ::DOING :=Nurse: Oh, hark, ma'am! Whatever is he doing up there? 3.1 ::DOLL :=Pastor: Good heavens! Here's your doll -- and here's your christening cap; 1.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: And don't go back in the kitchen, you scoundrel. 1.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: What do you mean? Don't you know? 1.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: after all. On the other hand, I don't want to persuade her into taking a 1.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: in bringing up her own children. Don't you think I'm right? 1.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: course Laura has her faults, but they don't amount to much. 1.1 ::DON'T :=Pastor: Do you think I don't know? 1.1 ::DON'T :=Pastor: Laura? No, but -- well, I don't like the look of you. Take care of 1.1 ::DON'T :=Pastor: Nojd, just a minute. Er -- don't you think it's rather disgraceful to 1.1 ::DON'T :=Pastor: talking about you now. Surely you don't just mean to leave the girl with a 1.1 ::DON'T :=Pastor: girl penniless like that, with a baby? Don't you think so? Well? Doesn't it strike 1.2 ::DON'T :=Captain: moment he arrives, please. Naturally I don't want to seem discourteous to him. 1.3 ::DON'T :=Captain: Are you such a weakling that you don't know your own mind? Tell me, or I shall 1.3 ::DON'T :=Doctor: Really? I don't like to hear that. 1.3 ::DON'T :=Laura: Don't you believe what I'm telling you? 1.3 ::DON'T :=Laura: If it's true? Then you don't believe me, Doctor. And I've been letting 1.4 ::DON'T :=Bertha: I don't know. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Bertha: Oh well then I don't know what will happen. But she must 1.4 ::DON'T :=Bertha: But Grandmama says you don't understand, and she says you have things 1.4 ::DON'T :=Bertha: them. And then the pen writes but I don't know if it's me doing it. Sometimes 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: Don't expect me back before midnight! 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: I don't know. Can you explain how you women 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: No, thank you, I don't want any. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: Yes, my dear, I do, but you don't know what is best for me. You see, 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: I have three -- as well as all hers. Don't you think I should have been something 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: something's going to happen here -- I don't know what, but whatever it is, it'll 1.4 ::DON'T :=Captain: Tell me, Margret, you do believe that, don't you? 1.4 ::DON'T :=Laura: Simply that you don't know that you are Bertha's father. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Laura: Come along, or they'll be. . . asking tiresome questions. Don't be difficult. All 1.4 ::DON'T :=Laura: you decide to do anything. Above all, don't make yourself look ridiculous. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nurse: I don't understand it, but I suppose it's because 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nurse: Oh, I don't understand anything about that. But 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nurse: Now, just listen, Mr Adolf -- don't you think you ought to meet the mistress 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nurse: Mr Adolf, you believe I want to help, don't you? 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nurse: child. Come and have supper, now, and don't sit there sulking. There, there; come 2.1 ::DON'T :=Doctor: Forgive my saying so, but I don't think you can have considered the consequences 2.1 ::DON'T :=Laura: I don't know at all, unless it was that he 2.1 ::DON'T :=Laura: Yes, that would do splendidly. Don't leave us, Doctor; if you only knew 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nurse: I don't see any difference. 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nurse: No I don't think so -- just a cold. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Captain: advances to her. So the moral is this: don't trust them too much! 2.3 ::DON'T :=Captain: Laura, don't destroy me and my reason! You don't 2.3 ::DON'T :=Captain: For me, since I don't believe in a life to come, my child 2.3 ::DON'T :=Captain: don't destroy me and my reason! You don't understand what I'm saying. If the 2.3 ::DON'T :=Captain: military duties; but you particularly don't want me to win any honour, since it 2.3 ::DON'T :=Captain: the death-blow -- tell me everything. Don't you see that I'm as helpless as a child? 2.3 ::DON'T :=Laura: between the sexes is a battle. And don't imagine that I gave myself to you; 3.1 ::DON'T :=Bertha: But I don't want that, I want to be myself. 3.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: Don't ever call me that again! 3.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: Be quiet! I don't wish to speak to you -- you're just 3.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: already shown me your teeth. But don't be afraid, my darling child, I shan't 3.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: -- he's a major of Dragoons. Bless me if I don't believe you have horns too 3.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: that that's insulting your mother; don't you understand that, if it's true, 3.1 ::DON'T :=Captain: my face that I'm not her father. But don't you know that that's insulting your 3.1 ::DON'T :=Laura: I don't understand. 3.1 ::DON'T :=Laura: Why don't you do it yourself, Doctor? 3.2 ::DON'T :=Doctor: -- but what sort of consciousness we don't know. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Laura: I don't know that the thoughts and motives 1.1 ::DONE :=Captain: Then the Court'll have to decide. I've done all I can. Besides, it's not really 1.3 ::DONE :=Doctor: promise you that I'll see what can be done. I sympathize with all my heart, and 2.1 ::DONE :=Doctor: go on like this; something must be done, and without arousing his suspicions. 2.1 ::DONE :=Doctor: myself to the obvious symptoms. What's done can't be undone, unfortunately -- yet 3.1 ::DONE :=Captain: up, she's dead and buried, and what's done can't be undone. I used to know him, 3.1 ::DONE :=Captain: been dressed? Damnation! What have you done to me? Woman! You're as cunning as the 3.1 ::DONE :=Captain: of you, against me. That's what you've done all along. 3.1 ::DONE :=Laura: won't you? Not that there's much to be done, I'm afraid. Do you hear how he's going 3.1 ::DONE :=Nojd: I've done all you said, madam. 2.1 ::DOOM :=Nurse: this earth draws breath To earth must fall beneath his doom, Sorrow alone escapes 2.3 ::DOOR :=Captain: not. I became ill, and was at death's door. Once, when the fever had abated for 3.1 ::DOOR :=Doctor: and I receive him. Quickly -- that door won't hold much longer! 3.1 ::DOOR :=Laura: Is the door safely fastened? 1.4 ::DOUBLE :=Bertha: spring morning when they take down the double windows. 1.2 ::DOUBT :=Captain: him. In marriage, naturally there's no doubt about the paternity. 1.2 ::DOUBT :=Laura: No doubt? 2.2 ::DOUBTS :=Captain: in? Weren't you ever afflicted with doubts . . . I won't say suspicions, for, 2.3 ::DOUBTS :=Laura: Are there any doubts about that? 1.3 ::DOWN :=Laura: Please sit down, won't you? 1.4 ::DOWN :=Bertha: evenings, she likes to turn the lamp down, and then I have to sit at the table 1.4 ::DOWN :=Bertha: like the spring morning when they take down the double windows. 2.1 ::DOWN :=Nurse: too, I'm sure the chimneys'll blow down: "Ah, what is our life below? Pain and 2.2 ::DOWN :=Captain: young stewardess, in tears. She sat down and told us that her sweetheart had 2.2 ::DOWN :=Captain: the case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit down, doctor. 2.3 ::DOWN :=Captain: but we must thrash things out. Sit down. I've been to the post-office this evening 2.3 ::DOWN :=Captain: sane or insane. Think it over. If I go down, I shall have to leave the Service, 3.1 ::DOWN :=Captain: comes with a knife and cuts them down below the graft, so that now I'm only 3.1 ::DOWN :=Nurse: up there, pacing up and down, up and down. 3.1 ::DOWN :=Nurse: listen to him up there, pacing up and down, up and down. 3.1 ::DOWN :=Nurse: "Now sit nice and quiet while I button down the back". And then I'd say: "Get up, 3.2 ::DOWN :=Captain: Omphale! Rude strength is brought down by scheming weakness. Damn you, you 3.2 ::DOWN :=Laura: on my heart, weighing and weighing it down till the heart struggled to throw off 3.2 ::DOWN :=Laura: the lines that you yourself have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, 1.4 ::DR :=Captain: For example, how did you get rid of Dr Nordling, and how did you get the new 3.1 ::DRAGOONS :=Captain: . . . no, straight in the face -- he's a major of Dragoons. Bless me if I don't 3.1 ::DRAWER :=Pastor: an explosion. What all that in the drawer? 2.3 ::DRAWING-ROOM :=Captain: a while, I heard voices outside in the drawing-room. It was you and the lawyer, 2.1 ::DRAWS :=Nurse: all is vain!" Ah yes! "All that upon this earth draws breath To earth must 2.3 ::DREAMS :=Captain: been a little morning nap, with bad dreams, and there was no awakening. 3.1 ::DREAMS :=Nurse: you lovely stories when you had bad dreams and couldn't sleep? Do you rememb 3.1 ::DRESSED :=Captain: that? Go to bed when he's just been dressed? Damnation! What have you done to 3.1 ::DRESSED :=Nurse: say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. And then I'd take 3.1 ::DRESSED :=Nurse: then. And the times you wouldn't get dressed when you ought to. I used to have 3.1 ::DRINK :=Nurse: to get up in the night and get you a drink, and how I used to light the candle 1.1 ::DROP :=Captain: in there out of sheer spite. They drop hints about men being made to see that 2.3 ::DROPS :=Captain: you have poured them into my ears like drops of henbane, and circumstances have 2.2 ::DROWNED :=Captain: told us that her sweetheart had been drowned. We sympathized with her, and I ordered 3.1 ::DUEL :=Captain: the bullet wound in his chest from a duel. On his death-bed he swore that she 1.4 ::DULL :=Bertha: -- often. Oh, it's so horrid and dull in there all the time -- just like a 1.3 ::DUTIES :=Captain: Oh, please! My military duties leave me very little time for intensive 2.3 ::DUTIES :=Captain: know, since I can carry out both my duties as a soldier and my obligations as 2.3 ::DUTIES :=Captain: me far more honour than my military duties; but you particularly don't want me 2.3 ::DUTIES :=Laura: on my part; you were neglecting your duties for this other work. 2.1 ::DUTY :=Laura: Yes, I did. It was my duty to look after the interests of the house; 3.1 ::DUTY :=Laura: So it's Nojd who's on duty today. 1.4 ::EACH :=Nurse: must two people plague the life out of each other? Two people who are so good and 1.1 ::EARLIER :=Pastor: Nojd? Didn't he do rather well earlier this year? 2.3 ::EARS :=Captain: Yes, you have poured them into my ears like drops of henbane, and circumstances 1.4 ::EARTH :=Captain: made of the same elements as our earth. That's all I see. 2.1 ::EARTH :=Nurse: Ah yes! "All that upon this earth draws breath To earth must fall beneath his 2.1 ::EARTH :=Nurse: perish, all is vain!" Ah yes! "All that upon this earth draws breath To earth 1.1 ::EARTHLY :=Captain: maids, a Salvation Army lass. It's no earthly good trying to mould a character 1.4 ::EASIER :=Captain: seen plenty of girls grow up, so it's easier for us to arrive at some sort of an 1.3 ::EASILY :=Doctor: rapidly in an unstable mind, and may easily turn to obsessions or monomania. Do 1.2 ::EAT :=Captain: Because I wasn't allowed to eat or sleep or work in peace until you'd 3.1 ::EAT :=Captain: -- that is the question. Unless I eat you, you will eat me -- you've already 3.1 ::EAT :=Captain: foretold that otherwise they would eat him. To eat or to be eaten -- that is 3.1 ::EAT :=Captain: question. Unless I eat you, you will eat me -- you've already shown me your teeth. 3.1 ::EAT :=Captain: that otherwise they would eat him. To eat or to be eaten -- that is the question. 3.1 ::EAT :=Captain: You see, I'm a cannibal, and I want to eat you. Your mother wanted to eat me, but 3.1 ::EAT :=Captain: want to eat you. Your mother wanted to eat me, but she couldn't. I am Saturn, who 3.1 ::EATEN :=Captain: they would eat him. To eat or to be eaten -- that is the question. Unless I eat 1.1 ::EDGE :=Captain: I? On edge? 1.1 ::EDGE :=Pastor: yourself, Adolf, you seem a bit on edge. 1.1 ::EDITION :=Captain: of a prodigy -- nor even just another edition of myself. But I will not become 1.1 ::EDUCATION :=Captain: so much her confirmation, as her whole education. This house it full of women who 1.2 ::EDUCATION :=Laura: True -- just as my child's education is nothing to do with me. Did my 2.3 ::EDUCATION :=Captain: And who will pay for her education when I'm gone? 1.1 ::EFFECT :=Pastor: you'd like me to preach at him. What effect d'you think God's word would have 1.1 ::EFFORTS :=Captain: Not at all! I showed her efforts to a well-known artist, and he said 2.3 ::EFFORTS :=Captain: about my sanity. What's more, your efforts have been successful, since there's 1.1 ::EH :=Pastor: Laura won't, eh? You know, I'm afraid you're in for trouble. 3.1 ::EH :=Captain: You can't get the better of a woman, eh? 3.1 ::EH :=Captain: was suspecting. That's a fine thing, eh? And then we have the prophet Ezekiel: 3.1 ::EH :=Captain: there a young subaltern in your house, eh? Let me guess: his name was -- There, 1.2 ::EIGHT :=Captain: -- nine, forty-three -- seven, eight, fifty-six -- 1.2 ::EIGHTY-FOUR :=Captain: a moment -- sixty-six, seventy-one -- eighty-four, eighty-nine, ninety-two, a hundred. 1.2 ::EIGHTY-NINE :=Captain: sixty-six, seventy-one -- eighty-four, eighty-nine, ninety-two, a hundred. What 2.2 ::EITHER :=Doctor: Nor too little either! 3.1 ::EITHER :=Pastor: hard to say -- there'll be a scandal either way. 1.4 ::ELEMENTS :=Captain: say whether they're made of the same elements as our earth. That's all I see. 1.2 ::ELSE :=Captain: arise in this case. Is there anything else you want to ask? 1.4 ::ELSE :=Captain: Does she? Does she indeed? What else does she say? 1.4 ::ELSE :=Nurse: like that with me -- or with anyone else -- 1.4 ::ELSE :=Nurse: who are so good and kind to everyone else. The mistress is never like that with 2.3 ::ELSE :=Captain: it? But perhaps you want something else as well: you want to have power over 3.1 ::ELSE :=Captain: you are my child -- yes, nothing else would be possible -- you must be. Anything 3.1 ::ELSE :=Captain: doesn't interest you -- nor anyone else. Do you want to change the subject now? 3.1 ::ELSE :=Captain: be possible -- you must be. Anything else was just a morbid idea brought on the 1.1 ::ELSE'S :=Captain: No, a mother-in-law -- in someone else's house -- suits you better! 2.3 ::EMBARRASSED :=Laura: But you must surely have noticed how embarrassed I was whenever your feelings 2.3 ::EMBRACES :=Laura: as my lover. The pleasure of your embraces was always followed by remorse, 1.1 ::EMMA :=Captain: But you told Emma that you'd marry her. 1.1 ::EMMA :=Captain: Oh, so I suppose it was Emma who led you astray? 1.1 ::EMMA :=Nojd: Yes sir; well then, Emma said "Let's go out to the barn." 2.3 ::EMOTIONS :=Captain: my obligations as a father; I have my emotions pretty well under control, so long 2.3 ::EMPHASIZE :=Captain: me to win any honour, since it would emphasize your insignificance. That's why 3.1 ::EMPTIED :=Laura: taken all the cartridges out of the guns and emptied the pouches? 1.1 ::ENCOURAGE :=Pastor: that it would be almost a crime not to encourage it? 1.4 ::ENCROACHING :=Captain: I'll have no one -- woman or child -- encroaching on my rights. Leave us, Bert 1.4 ::END :=Nurse: God help us! What will be the end of this? 3.1 ::END :=Nurse: God have mercy on us! What'll be the end of this? 3.1 ::ENDED :=Laura: not being Bertha's father, and it ended with his throwing a lighted lamp in 2.3 ::ENDURED :=Captain: I've been racked and tortured, I've endured sleepless nights, worrying about 2.2 ::ENEMIES :=Captain: Are we enemies? 3.2 ::ENEMIES :=Captain: Yes, I do! I believe that you're all my enemies. My mother, who didn't want to bring 1.4 ::ENEMY :=Captain: Yes, the enemy! You know well enough how things stand 1.4 ::ENEMY :=Captain: you, you desert me and go over to the enemy. 1.4 ::ENEMY :=Laura: get involved in fights with a superior enemy? 1.4 ::ENEMY :=Nurse: The enemy? 2.3 ::ENEMY :=Laura: you see, while the woman was your enemy. Love between the sexes is a battle. 3.2 ::ENEMY :=Captain: And you, my wife, you were my mortal enemy, for you never let me be till you had 3.2 ::ENEMY :=Captain: first woman I took in my arms was my enemy, for she gave me ten years' illness 3.2 ::ENEMY :=Captain: was nearly deformed. My sister was my enemy, when she taught me to be her vassal. 3.2 ::ENEMY :=Captain: birth would bring her pain, she was my enemy: she starved my unborn life of its 3.2 ::ENEMY :=Captain: love I gave her. My daughter became my enemy, when she had to choose between me 3.2 ::ENEMY :=Laura: at me. Do you believe that I'm your enemy? 3.1 ::ENGENDERED :=Captain: but who can tell whose loins have engendered him?" That's clear enough, isn't 3.1 ::ENGLISH :=Captain: Did I ever tell you what I said to an English lady who complained of the habit 2.3 ::ENJOY :=Captain: turned grey, and all so that you could enjoy a carefree life, and when you grew 1.1 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: that's the chap. I wish you'd be kind enough to have a little talk to him. You 1.1 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: you laugh, you wretch! As if it wasn't enough that I married your sister, you palm 1.1 ::ENOUGH :=Pastor: story. Listen, Nojd, surely you're man enough to know if you're the father. 1.3 ::ENOUGH :=Laura: Yes, we've been lucky enough to escape anything serious; still, 1.4 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: Yes, the enemy! You know well enough how things stand in this house. You've 1.4 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: but so has everyone who's unscrupulous enough. For example, how did you get rid 1.4 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: what is best for me. You see, it's not enough for me just to have given the child 2.2 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: No, enough and no more. But listen to this, doctor; 2.2 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: heard one side, you've had quite enough of it. 2.2 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: and when she went away, surprisingly enough, she returned them. Three months later, 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: Yes, oddly enough -- probably because the former case 3.1 ::ENOUGH :=Captain: have engendered him?" That's clear enough, isn't it? And what have we here? 3.1 ::ENOUGH :=Nurse: Oh yes, it's safe enough. 3.2 ::ENTERED :=Laura: motives that you're suggesting ever entered my head. It's possible that I was 3.2 ::ENTERS :=Captain: old days, a man married a wife, now he enters into partnership with a business-woman, 1.2 ::ENTHUSIASTIC :=Captain: Who was so enthusiastic about the man? You. Why do you 2.1 ::ENTIRELY :=Doctor: I could gather as we talked, I'm not entirely convinced about the case. In the 2.1 ::ENTIRELY :=Doctor: only in exceptional cases. It depends entirely on what course the illness takes. 1.1 ::ER :=Pastor: Nojd, just a minute. Er -- don't you think it's rather disgraceful 1.3 ::ESCAPE :=Laura: Yes, we've been lucky enough to escape anything serious; still, things aren't 2.1 ::ESCAPES :=Nurse: breath To earth must fall beneath his doom, Sorrow alone escapes our death, to 1.1 ::ESPECIALLY :=Captain: character like a piece of patchwork -- especially when I, who should have most voice 2.3 ::ESSENTIAL :=Laura: now, as the -- unfortunately -- essential father and breadwinner. There's 2.2 ::ESTABLISHED :=Captain: The latest researches have established that there is only one kind. 2.2 ::EULOGIZING :=Doctor: You know, when I heard Mrs Alving eulogizing her dead husband, I thought to 2.1 ::EVE :=Bertha: we shan't be able to keep Christmas Eve. But if he's ill, how can he be up? 1.1 ::EVEN :=Captain: So -- she was like that even then? Hm. You know, she sometimes flies 1.1 ::EVEN :=Captain: say, but I have more than my share. I even have my old nurse here, treating me 1.1 ::EVEN :=Captain: her into some sort of a prodigy -- nor even just another edition of myself. But 1.1 ::EVEN :=Captain: him some good. I've sworn at him, I've even thrashed him, but it didn't make the 1.3 ::EVEN :=Captain: my orders. I've written and even sent abusive telegrams! It makes me 1.4 ::EVEN :=Laura: That makes you even more ridiculous. 2.1 ::EVEN :=Captain: was the only one? No, he couldn't be, even though you were sure. That's the difference, 2.1 ::EVEN :=Nurse: below? Pain and sorrow, grief and woe. Even when it seemed most fair, Naught but 2.2 ::EVEN :=Captain: but it doesn't alter my judgement, even if it mitigates it. 2.2 ::EVEN :=Captain: further foals may also be striped, even if the next sire is a stallion? 2.3 ::EVEN :=Captain: you could have led me into crime, and even into petty meanness. For you had no 3.1 ::EVEN :=Captain: shorn and outwitted -- they won't even let me die! 3.1 ::EVEN :=Doctor: I believe, Pastor, your own ideas are even more firmly fixed. 3.1 ::EVEN :=Doctor: to do it, but I fear that he mistrusts even you. Perhaps the Pastor. . . 3.1 ::EVEN :=Nurse: to God for mercy -- it's not too late even now. It wasn't too late for the thief 3.1 ::EVEN :=Pastor: -- you have no accomplice, not even your own conscience. Look at yourself 3.2 ::EVEN :=Doctor: No judgement. No indictment, even! You believe there's a god who rules 3.2 ::EVEN :=Laura: my conscience, I feel myself innocent even if I am not. You're existence has been 1.3 ::EVENING :=Doctor: Good evening, madam. 1.4 ::EVENING :=Bertha: I have to make something come. This evening I thought I was doing it beautifully, 2.1 ::EVENING :=Doctor: Madam, tell me what took place this evening after I left? I must know everyt 2.2 ::EVENING :=Captain: How terrible. Here's the doctor. Good evening doctor. How's my mother-in-law? 2.3 ::EVENING :=Captain: I've been to the post-office this evening to collect the letters. From them 3.1 ::EVENING :=Pastor: Good evening, Laura, I've been out all day, I 1.2 ::EVENING'S :=Laura: my lords come to any decision at this evening's session? 1.4 ::EVENINGS :=Bertha: Well, in the evenings, she likes to turn the lamp down, 2.3 ::EVENTUALLY :=Captain: did things in your own way. But when I eventually woke up and came to my senses, 1.1 ::EVER :=Captain: when it would all be wasted if she ever did decide to marry. 1.1 ::EVER :=Nojd: yes; but, your Reverence, no one can ever be sure. And it's no joke slaving all 1.1 ::EVER :=Nojd: in a way it was. I always say nothing ever comes of it unless the girl wants it, 1.2 ::EVER :=Captain: because she'd known his grandmother ever since she was a baby. That's why I took 2.1 ::EVER :=Bertha: such a sad song, the saddest song I've ever heard. And it seemed as if it came from 2.1 ::EVER :=Doctor: suspicions. Tell me, has the Captain ever had these fancies before? 2.2 ::EVER :=Captain: position you were in? Weren't you ever afflicted with doubts . . . I won't 2.2 ::EVER :=Captain: say "my wife's children"! Didn't you ever realize what a false position you were 3.1 ::EVER :=Captain: Don't ever call me that again! 3.1 ::EVER :=Captain: I myself cannot be sure; since no man ever yet knew his own begetter." And it was 3.1 ::EVER :=Captain: here? And the doctor, of course. Did I ever tell you what I said to an English lady 3.2 ::EVER :=Laura: and motives that you're suggesting ever entered my head. It's possible that 1.4 ::EVERY :=Nurse: because you are all women's children, every one of you, great of small. . . 3.1 ::EVERY :=Captain: It's all to be found here -- in every one of these books. So I wasn't mad 1.4 ::EVERYONE :=Captain: the power of the devil, but so has everyone who's unscrupulous enough. For example, 1.4 ::EVERYONE :=Nurse: Adolf, you always think the worst of everyone. It's because you haven't the true 1.4 ::EVERYONE :=Nurse: Two people who are so good and kind to everyone else. The mistress is never like 1.4 ::EVERYTHING :=Nurse: ashamed of yourself. But, in spite of everything, old Margret loves her great big 2.1 ::EVERYTHING :=Doctor: this evening after I left? I must know everything. 2.3 ::EVERYTHING :=Captain: man begs for the death-blow -- tell me everything. Don't you see that I'm as helpless 1.4 ::EVERYTHING'LL :=Bertha: Oh then everything'll be tiresome again. Why can't 2.1 ::EVERYTHING'S :=Nurse: Yes, yes, I'll see that everything's all right. 1.4 ::EVIL :=Captain: what, but whatever it is, it'll be evil. What's that? Who screamed? 1.3 ::EXACTLY :=Doctor: Exactly -- these patients can be made to 1.4 ::EXACTLY :=Captain: Exactly, old lady! She has only one anxiety, 1.3 ::EXAMINE :=Doctor: confide in me, but as a doctor, I must examine and investigate for myself before 1.4 ::EXAMINE :=Captain: other heavenly bodies. What I do is to examine then, and say whether they're made 1.4 ::EXAMPLE :=Captain: who's unscrupulous enough. For example, how did you get rid of Dr Nordling, 1.1 ::EXCEPT :=Captain: and bring her up with no idea except marriage. You see, that would make 2.3 ::EXCEPT :=Laura: life and death struggle been about except power? 2.1 ::EXCEPTIONAL :=Doctor: the subject himself, and then only in exceptional cases. It depends entirely on 2.1 ::EXCITED :=Laura: when I took the girl's part, he became excited and said that no one could tell who 1.3 ::EXCUSE :=Laura: Ah! I understand. Yes -- yes. Excuse me, my mother wants me for something. 3.1 ::EXIST :=Captain: Do what you like to me, I no longer exist. 3.2 ::EXISTENCE :=Laura: innocent even if I am not. You're existence has been like a stone on my heart, 1.2 ::EXPECT :=Captain: Once you've sold your goods, you can't expect to have them back and keep the mo 1.3 ::EXPECT :=Captain: I expect that my wife has told you a little 1.4 ::EXPECT :=Captain: Don't expect me back before midnight! 3.1 ::EXPECT :=Pastor: Laura, I've been out all day, I expect they told you; I've only just got 2.3 ::EXPECTED :=Captain: ruined the results that I'd expected from my work. 3.1 ::EXPECTED :=Pastor: a deplorable business, but I always expected something like this would happen; 1.1 ::EXPECTING :=Captain: anything very grand, but do stay; I'm expecting the new doctor, you know. Have 2.3 ::EXPECTING :=Captain: no children, and he asked if you were expecting one. I couldn't hear your answer. 1.4 ::EXPLAIN :=Captain: I don't know. Can you explain how you women manage to treat a grown 2.3 ::EXPLAINED :=Captain: that I still owned in those days. He explained that you couldn't inherit anything 3.1 ::EXPLOSION :=Pastor: can't mix fire and water without an explosion. What all that in the drawer? 2.2 ::EXTENUATING :=Captain: is quite unconscious. That's an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn't 1.2 ::EXTRAORDINARY :=Laura: Extraordinary. Then how is it that the father 1.2 ::EXTRAORDINARY :=Laura: How extraordinary! You can't be sure who a child's 1.3 ::EXTRAORDINARY :=Laura: You see, he sometimes has the most extraordinary ideas. Of course that's not 2.1 ::EXTRAORDINARY :=Doctor: when you said he arrived at his extraordinary conclusions about other heavenly 2.1 ::EXTRAORDINARY :=Laura: His mind wandered, and he had the most extraordinary fancy. Just imagine, he had 1.4 ::EYES :=Captain: love, your voice becomes hard, an your eyes fill with hatred. No, Margret, you certainly 2.3 ::EYES :=Captain: although I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man hands, organs, dimensions, 3.1 ::EYES :=Captain: me, so that I can see my soul in your eyes. But I see her soul, too! You have two 3.1 ::EZEKIEL :=Captain: eh? And then we have the prophet Ezekiel: "The fool saith: Lo, here is my 3.1 ::FACE :=Captain: to have my own child tell me to my face that I'm not her father. But don't you 3.1 ::FACE :=Captain: a lighted lamp and flings it in her face . . . well, then you know. 3.1 ::FACE :=Captain: now -- look at me, Doctor . . . no, straight in the face -- he's a major of Dragoons. 3.1 ::FACE :=Laura: with his throwing a lighted lamp in my face. 3.1 ::FACES :=Captain: throwing lighted lamps in their wives' faces? "God, what women!" I said. "Women?" 2.2 ::FACT :=Doctor: No, as a matter of fact, I never was. And anyhow, Captain, wasn't 2.2 ::FACT :=Doctor: a man to tell me the whole story. In fact I ought to hear the other side. 2.3 ::FACT :=Laura: it is, that would convince you. In fact, you want it to be true? 2.1 ::FAIR :=Nurse: and woe. Even when it seemed most fair, Naught but agony was there." Yes, dear 1.1 ::FAITH :=Captain: conscience. I'm no witness to the faith, and I'm no martyr -- but we've had 1.2 ::FAITH :=Captain: must be brought up in their father's faith. 1.4 ::FAITH :=Captain: you certainly haven't the true faith. 1.4 ::FAITH :=Captain: the Baptists have found the only real faith. Happy people! 1.4 ::FAITH :=Nurse: It's because you haven't the true Faith, you see, that's what it is. 1.3 ::FALL :=Laura: Heaven know I've had to bring myself to fall in with his wishes, all through these 1.4 ::FALL :=Captain: what meteors are? They're stones that fall from other heavenly bodies. What I do 2.1 ::FALL :=Nurse: "All that upon this earth draws breath To earth must fall beneath his doom, Sorrow 1.1 ::FALLEN :=Pastor: I suppose he'd fallen in love with the girl? 2.3 ::FALLING :=Laura: control over the child. But I'm not falling into that trap. 2.2 ::FALSE :=Captain: Didn't you ever realize what a false position you were in? Weren't you ever 1.1 ::FAMILY :=Captain: who have to provide for a family on their pay. And if she does marry, 1.1 ::FAMILY :=Captain: Good night -- remember me to your family. 1.1 ::FAMILY :=Pastor: get a good place with some respectable family, but the boy's whole future might 1.2 ::FAMILY :=Captain: the lunatic asylum by now, or in the family vault. However, here's the housekeeping 1.3 ::FAMILY :=Doctor: calls. I should think your family is pretty healthy on the whole, so 1.3 ::FAMILY :=Laura: There are things in family life that one is in honour bound to 1.3 ::FAMILY :=Laura: And I've been letting you into our family secret . . . 2.1 ::FAMILY :=Doctor: and what with the sanctity of family life, and so forth, I can't probe 2.1 ::FAMILY :=Doctor: an insane person loses his civil and family rights. 3.1 ::FAMILY :=Doctor: about what would be best for your family. What do you say, Pastor? 1.3 ::FAMILY'S :=Laura: if only it didn't threaten his whole family's welfare. For instance, he has a 2.1 ::FANCIES :=Doctor: me, has the Captain ever had these fancies before? 2.1 ::FANCIES :=Laura: I've no idea, he has such wild fancies nowadays. 2.3 ::FANCIES :=Captain: lives as heedless as babies, full of fancies, ideas, and illusions; till we finally 2.3 ::FANCIES :=Laura: Well, I'm sleepy, so if you've any more fancies, keep them till tomorrow. 2.1 ::FANCY :=Laura: and he had the most extraordinary fancy. Just imagine, he had an idea that 2.3 ::FANCY :=Captain: that I was chasing away some morbid fancy. I've heard you cry out in your sleep, 1.1 ::FAR :=Captain: This is really going too far. 1.1 ::FAR :=Captain: opposition. I shall have to get her far away from here. 1.1 ::FAR :=Pastor: order, Adolf; you let them run things far too much. 1.4 ::FAR :=Bertha: and she says you have things that are far worse -- things that can see to other 2.2 ::FAR :=Doctor: Far from it. The pity is that we can't be 2.3 ::FAR :=Captain: that one day this work will bring me far more honour than my military duties; 1.4 ::FAST :=Captain: Have the fast sleigh harnessed at once. 3.1 ::FAST :=Doctor: with buckles which you then make fast to the arms of the chair or sofa, whichever 3.1 ::FASTENED :=Laura: Is the door safely fastened? 1.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: Once and for all, are you the father of the child or not? 1.1 ::FATHER :=Nojd: If I knew for certain that I was the father, yes; but, your Reverence, no one 1.1 ::FATHER :=Pastor: man enough to know if you're the father. 1.1 ::FATHER :=Pastor: boy too. I mean, suppose he's not the father. The girl can stay in the orphanage 1.2 ::FATHER :=Captain: The law can't say who is the child's father. 1.2 ::FATHER :=Laura: But if the father and the mother agree on a compromise 1.2 ::FATHER :=Laura: You can't be sure who a child's father is? 1.2 ::FATHER :=Laura: Extraordinary. Then how is it that the father has such rights over a woman's ch 1.4 ::FATHER :=Captain: Think how a father feels, Margret. 1.4 ::FATHER :=Captain: Do you think a father would let ignorant and conceited women 1.4 ::FATHER :=Captain: If you could prove that I were not the father. 1.4 ::FATHER :=Captain: is born of man. But then I am Bertha's father. Tell me, Margret, you do believe 1.4 ::FATHER :=Laura: It's less important to a father. 1.4 ::FATHER :=Laura: you don't know that you are Bertha's father. 1.4 ::FATHER :=Laura: can tell for certain who is a child's father. 1.4 ::FATHER :=Laura: only need to give the name of the real father, with details of the time and place; 1.4 ::FATHER :=Nurse: Now, now, now! A father has other things to think of, but 1.4 ::FATHER :=Nurse: a baby you are! Of course you're the father of your own child. Come and have supper, 2.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: Margret, who was the father of your child? 2.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: Did Johansson admit that he was the father? 2.1 ::FATHER :=Laura: he had an idea that he wasn't the father of his own child. 2.1 ::FATHER :=Laura: that no one could tell who was the father of a child. Heaven knows I did all 2.2 ::FATHER :=Captain: Didn't being a father sometimes make you feel ridiculous? 2.2 ::FATHER :=Captain: Therefore a child's likeness to the father means nothing? 2.2 ::FATHER :=Captain: of nothing more absurd than seeing a father lead his child through the street, 2.2 ::FATHER :=Captain: child through the street, or hearing a father talk about "my children". He ought 2.3 ::FATHER :=Captain: Yes, that's how it was. My father and mother never wanted me, so I was 2.3 ::FATHER :=Captain: and we had a child. Who is the father? 2.3 ::FATHER :=Captain: because I imagined that I was the father of that child. It was the lowest kind 2.3 ::FATHER :=Captain: as a soldier and my obligations as a father; I have my emotions pretty well under 2.3 ::FATHER :=Laura: I hold sacred that you are Bertha's father. 2.3 ::FATHER :=Laura: as the -- unfortunately -- essential father and breadwinner. There's no further 3.1 ::FATHER :=Bertha: You aren't my father if you can say things like that! 3.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: What's that? I'm not your father? How do you know? Who told you so? 3.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: "The fool saith: Lo, here is my father, but who can tell whose loins have 3.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: tell me to my face that I'm not her father. But don't you know that that's insulting 3.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: that he -- meaning Odysseus -- is my father; but I myself cannot be sure; since 3.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: Jonas, do you believe that you're the father of your children? I remember you used 3.1 ::FATHER :=Captain: you know? Who told you so? Who is your father, then? Who is? 3.1 ::FATHER :=Laura: ideas of his about not being Bertha's father, and it ended with his throwing a 3.2 ::FATHER :=Captain: the crash comes? Who is the physical father of the spiritual child? 1.2 ::FATHER'S :=Captain: children must be brought up in their father's faith. 1.2 ::FAULT :=Laura: It's not my fault if things are in a bad way. 1.4 ::FAULT :=Bertha: Grandmama! It was my fault, though; I played a trick on her. 1.1 ::FAULTS :=Captain: Oh, of course Laura has her faults, but they don't amount to much. 3.1 ::FEAR :=Doctor: really be the one to do it, but I fear that he mistrusts even you. Perhaps 2.1 ::FEARFUL :=Nurse: Oh dear, oh dear! And such a fearful night too, I'm sure the chimneys'll 2.3 ::FED :=Captain: senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same 1.3 ::FEEL :=Laura: That is why I feel I should tell you the whole truth -- 1.4 ::FEEL :=Captain: side. I want you to help me, because I feel that something's going to happen here 2.2 ::FEEL :=Captain: being a father sometimes make you feel ridiculous? I know of nothing more absurd 3.1 ::FEEL :=Captain: Feel under your wig and see if you can't 3.1 ::FEEL :=Doctor: he'll soon be out again. Therefore we feel it's in the best interests of all parties 3.2 ::FEEL :=Captain: warmer. Lean over me, so that I can feel your breast. Oh, it's good to sleep 3.2 ::FEEL :=Captain: my back? Omphale! Omphale! But I can feel your soft shawl against my mouth, it's 3.2 ::FEEL :=Laura: and, before God and my conscience, I feel myself innocent even if I am not. You're 1.1 ::FEELING :=Pastor: Yes, are you feeling off colour? 1.4 ::FEELING :=Laura: been able to look at a man without feeling that I'm his superior. 2.3 ::FEELINGS :=Captain: standstill. I shall not appeal to your feelings, because you have none -- I appeal 2.3 ::FEELINGS :=Laura: how embarrassed I was whenever your feelings altered, and you presented yourself 1.4 ::FEELS :=Captain: Think how a father feels, Margret. 1.4 ::FEELS :=Nurse: over the child? Think how a mother feels -- 2.3 ::FEET :=Captain: all very well, but we woke with our feet on the pillow, and whoever it was who 3.1 ::FELLOW :=Captain: tutor in the house -- a good- looking fellow that people used to gossip about. 1.1 ::FELLOW'S :=Captain: around with the maid again. The fellow's a thoroughly bad lot. 2.2 ::FELLOW'S :=Doctor: to myself "what a confounded shame the fellow's dead". 2.3 ::FEVER :=Captain: was at death's door. Once, when the fever had abated for a while, I heard voices 3.1 ::FEVER :=Captain: on the wind, like pestilence and fever. Look at me, so that I can see my soul 2.3 ::FIBRE :=Laura: mother. Your great strong body had no fibre, you were like an overgrown child, 1.2 ::FIFTY-SIX :=Captain: -- nine, forty-three -- seven, eight, fifty-six -- 1.4 ::FIGHT :=Captain: That's why we can't fight you. 2.3 ::FIGHT :=Captain: my suspicions and I'll give up the fight. 3.2 ::FIGHT :=Captain: It's like hitting the air, or a sham fight with blank cartridges. A mortal truth 1.4 ::FIGHTS :=Laura: Then why get involved in fights with a superior enemy? 1.4 ::FILL :=Captain: your voice becomes hard, an your eyes fill with hatred. No, Margret, you certainly 2.3 ::FINALLY :=Captain: fancies, ideas, and illusions; till we finally woke. that was all very well, but 2.1 ::FIND :=Doctor: by means of a microscope. Now that I find that it was a spectroscope, he's not 3.1 ::FIND :=Captain: under your wig and see if you can't find two bumps up there. Upon my soul I believe 1.1 ::FINDS :=Captain: with a lot of romantic ideas, so she finds it rather hard to adapt herself. Still, 1.3 ::FINE :=Doctor: always seemed to show a particularly fine and orderly mind. 3.1 ::FINE :=Captain: Telemachus was suspecting. That's a fine thing, eh? And then we have the prophet 3.1 ::FINE :=Doctor: is liable to imprisonment and a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have you 3.1 ::FINED :=Laura: But if he's merely fined for assault, he might become violent 2.1 ::FINISH :=Bertha: You see, I want to finish Papa's Christmas present. And I've 1.3 ::FINISHED :=Captain: of it is that I shan't get my treatise finished in time, and I know they're working 3.1 ::FIRE :=Pastor: like this would happen; you can't mix fire and water without an explosion. What 3.2 ::FIRE :=Captain: away at nothing, till it catches fire. Give me a pillow under my head. And 3.1 ::FIRM :=Doctor: Then you have no firm convictions about what would be best 3.1 ::FIRM :=Pastor: My firm convictions about higher things -- 3.1 ::FIRMLY :=Doctor: Pastor, your own ideas are even more firmly fixed. 2.1 ::FIRST :=Doctor: convinced about the case. In the first place, you made a mistake when you 2.3 ::FIRST :=Captain: One word first -- about realities: do you hate me 2.3 ::FIRST :=Laura: again. Do you remember that, when I first came into your life, it was as a second 3.1 ::FIRST :=Captain: if only we could have known from the first! 3.1 ::FIRST :=Captain: what we'd have to do to be sure? Marry first, so as to be accepted by society, then 3.2 ::FIRST :=Captain: she taught me to be her vassal. The first woman I took in my arms was my enemy, 3.2 ::FIRST :=Pastor: First death, and after that the Judgement 3.1 ::FITS :=Nurse: the room, so that I can see how it fits". And then I'd say "Now you must go 3.1 ::FIXED :=Doctor: your own ideas are even more firmly fixed. 3.1 ::FIXED :=Pastor: you'll admit that he suffered from fixed ideas. 2.3 ::FLASH :=Captain: most childish remark as if it were a flash of genius; you could have led me into 1.3 ::FLAT :=Captain: care to stay here, there's a little flat in the annexe, or would you rather have 1.1 ::FLIES :=Captain: even then? Hm. You know, she sometimes flies into such a rage that I'm really afraid 3.1 ::FLINGS :=Captain: -- goes and takes a lighted lamp and flings it in her face . . . well, then you 1.1 ::FLOOR :=Pastor: she was a child she used to lie on the floor like a corpse till she got her own 2.2 ::FOALS :=Captain: Is it true that further foals may also be striped, even if the next 2.2 ::FOALS :=Captain: a stallion can sire striped foals -- and vice versa? 2.2 ::FOALS :=Captain: Is it true that you get striped foals if you cross a zebra with a mare? 2.2 ::FOLD :=Captain: I can only do like the Romans, and fold my arms over my chest and hold my breath 2.3 ::FOLLOWED :=Laura: pleasure of your embraces was always followed by remorse, as if my very blood 2.3 ::FOOD :=Captain: passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, warmed 3.1 ::FOOL :=Captain: then we have the prophet Ezekiel: "The fool saith: Lo, here is my father, but who 1.1 ::FOOT :=Captain: she's been treating me as if I had one foot in the grave. 2.2 ::FOOT :=Captain: After the second glass, I touched her foot; after the fourth, her knee, and before 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: Once and for all, are you the father of the child 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: a break. Oh, must you go? Do stay for supper -- it won't be anything very grand, 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: in the ordinary way; it's a matter for your professional conscience. I'm no 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: Laura put that idea into your head? For the last twenty years she's been treating 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: into taking a long course of training for some career more suited to a man, when 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: myself. But I will not become a pander for my own daughter, and bring her up with 1.1 ::FOR :=Captain: poor schoolmasters who have to provide for a family on their pay. And if she does 1.1 ::FOR :=Nojd: If I knew for certain that I was the father, yes; but, 1.1 ::FOR :=Nojd: No. That's a thing you can never know for certain. 1.1 ::FOR :=Orderly: Nojd's in the kitchen, sir, waiting for orders. 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: What is your plan for Bertha that's caused so much argument? 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: Adolf -- say good night to Laura for me. 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: eh? You know, I'm afraid you're in for trouble. When she was a child she used 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: hand, hasn't she shown such a gift for painting that it would be almost a crime 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: months, and then it's looked after for the rest of its life. It isn't as if 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: chap, because I can't see much help for you, and of course Laura has her supporters 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: to marry her, but you shall provide for the child, that you shall. 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: in the orphanage and nurse the child for four months, and then it's looked after 1.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: have too many women running your house for you! 1.3 ::FOR :=Captain: For God's sake, man, say what you want! I 1.3 ::FOR :=Captain: duties leave me very little time for intensive research. Still I really believe 1.3 ::FOR :=Captain: against me! Would you believe it, for the last two months, not one of them 1.3 ::FOR :=Captain: do you know if the annexe is ready for the Doctor? 1.3 ::FOR :=Doctor: kind of you, madam; I hope though, for your sake, that I shall not need to make 1.3 ::FOR :=Doctor: doctor, I must examine and investigate for myself before I make my diagnosis. Does 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: Then is it reasonable for a man to see through a microscope what's 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: Changeable? We've been married for twenty years now, and he's never yet 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: know it all; you'll be able to judge for yourself when you see him. 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: threaten his whole family's welfare. For instance, he has a mania for buying all 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: -- yes. Excuse me, my mother wants me for something. I shan't be a moment -- Ah, 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: just now, but I'm sure you'll manage. For people like us, living in a lonely country 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: loses interest, and asks me to decide for him. 1.3 ::FOR :=Laura: welfare. For instance, he has a mania for buying all sorts of things. 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: You talk very proudly for a humble heart! I know how little learning 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: of girls grow up, so it's easier for us to arrive at some sort of an answ 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: everyone who's unscrupulous enough. For example, how did you get rid of Dr Nordling, 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: got your brother to scrape up votes for this man. 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: you must believe me when I tell you for your own good, for the sake of your whole 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: I do, but you don't know what is best for me. You see, it's not enough for me just 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: best for me. You see, it's not enough for me just to have given the child life, 1.4 ::FOR :=Captain: me when I tell you for your own good, for the sake of your whole future, you must 1.4 ::FOR :=Laura: to lose my home and my good name, for the sake of keeping my child and bringing 1.4 ::FOR :=Laura: Why, the daughter would despise her for the rest of her life. 1.4 ::FOR :=Laura: with details of the time and place; for instance -- when was Bertha born? We'd 1.4 ::FOR :=Laura: been discovered that no one can tell for certain who is a child's father. 2.1 ::FOR :=Doctor: in his affairs, he would have cause for suspicions, and then they'd grow like 2.1 ::FOR :=Laura: Margret can sit here. She always waits for him when he's out; besides, she's the 2.1 ::FOR :=Laura: No, but I want you to sit here and wait for him; and when he comes, you're to tell 2.2 ::FOR :=Captain: Now for the other -- and that was a real summer 2.2 ::FOR :=Captain: you ever afflicted with doubts . . . I won't say suspicions, for, as a gentleman, 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: For me, since I don't believe in a life to 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: Yes, for she has her children, while he has not. 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: There are for me, and it's you who have raised the 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: And who will pay for her education when I'm gone? 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: now and I can no longer live, for a man cannot live without honour. 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: What can you give me in return for that? 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: for your sake; what will you do for me? 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: the symbols of my power, and pray for mercy on my life. 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: And when I thought you despised me for my unmanliness, I wanted to win you as 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: there's nothing and no one to live for? 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: white ones. I've worked and slaved for you and your child, your mother, and 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: From these letters, it appears that for some time now you've been setting my 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: confirmed. That's how I've suffered for your sake; what will you do for me? 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: I implore you, as a wounded man begs for the death-blow -- tell me everything. 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: crime, and even into petty meanness. For you had no understanding, and instead 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: for her child's sake? I implore you, for the sake of the past -- I implore you, 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: hear any more. I'd had my suspicions for a long time, but I dared not hear them 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: door. Once, when the fever had abated for a while, I heard voices outside in the 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: mother can and should commit any crime for her child's sake? I implore you, for 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: perhaps condemn you. We'd been married for two years, and had no children -- you 2.3 ::FOR :=Captain: the madness that you have been waiting for, and that may come at any time. That 2.3 ::FOR :=Laura: Have you any grounds for your suspicions? 2.3 ::FOR :=Laura: breadwinner. There's no further need for you, and you must go. You must go because, 2.3 ::FOR :=Laura: part; you were neglecting your duties for this other work. 3.1 ::FOR :=Captain: Are you croaking for a corpse already, you old crow? Nojd! 3.1 ::FOR :=Captain: that, if it's true, it's shameful for her, too? 3.1 ::FOR :=Captain: if I could work on your crowned heads for a little, I'd soon have you shut up, 3.1 ::FOR :=Captain: and half my marrow, onto another stem, for I thought they would grow together and 3.1 ::FOR :=Captain: to me, now that I have nothing to live for? What can I do with my life now that 3.1 ::FOR :=Doctor: Let us set aside convictions for the moment. Madam, it is for you to decide 3.1 ::FOR :=Doctor: for the moment. Madam, it is for you to decide whether your husband is 3.1 ::FOR :=Doctor: convictions about what would be best for your family. What do you say, Pastor 3.1 ::FOR :=Laura: But if he's merely fined for assault, he might become violent aga 3.1 ::FOR :=Laura: yourself Margret. The only hope for all of us is to keep calm. Who is it 3.1 ::FOR :=Laura: -- the doctor's sent to the hospital for a strait-jacket. In the meanwhile, I've 3.1 ::FOR :=Nojd: If there's anything I can do for the Captain, he knows I'll do it. 3.1 ::FOR :=Nurse: your stubborn heart, and pray to God for mercy -- it's not too late even now. 3.1 ::FOR :=Nurse: too late even now. It wasn't too late for the thief on the Cross, when the Saviour 3.1 ::FOR :=Nurse: wouldn't believe we knew what was best for you. "Give me that snake," I said, "or 3.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: I see you're none the worse for it. 3.1 ::FOR :=Pastor: What's that big paper there? A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave than an 3.2 ::FOR :=Captain: If there had been any foundation for them, that would at least be something 3.2 ::FOR :=Captain: my wife, you were my mortal enemy, for you never let me be till you had me lying 3.2 ::FOR :=Captain: gave me ten years' illness in return for the love I gave her. My daughter became 3.2 ::FOR :=Captain: woman I took in my arms was my enemy, for she gave me ten years' illness in return 3.2 ::FOR :=Laura: As for your suspicions about the child, they're 1.1 ::FORCED :=Pastor: with a child. I suppose you can't be forced to marry her, but you shall provide 1.2 ::FORCED :=Captain: on the responsibilities -- or has them forced on him. In marriage, naturally there's 3.1 ::FORESTALL :=Doctor: as I consider it necessary, so as to forestall any further outbreaks of violence. 3.1 ::FORETOLD :=Captain: his own children because it had been foretold that otherwise they would eat him. 3.2 ::FORGED :=Captain: In the olden days it was the smith who forged the coat of mail, now it's the sempstress. 1.4 ::FORGET :=Captain: meet your match -- and you'll never forget it. 1.4 ::FORGET :=Nurse: say such a thing? Do you think I can forget how you were my baby when you were 2.3 ::FORGET :=Captain: as if you were my mother? Won't you forget that I'm a grown man -- a soldier 1.3 ::FORGIVE :=Captain: Thank you; that's better. Do forgive me, Doctor, but nothing annoys me 2.1 ::FORGIVE :=Doctor: Forgive my saying so, but I don't think you 2.3 ::FORGIVE :=Captain: "This is the truth" -- and I will forgive you in advance. 3.1 ::FORGIVE :=Nurse: Forgive me, Mr Adolf, forgive me. I had to 3.1 ::FORGIVE :=Nurse: Forgive me, Mr Adolf, forgive me. I had to stop you from killing 3.1 ::FORGIVE :=Nurse: Give me them? No. God forgive me. I took them out of his clothes 3.2 ::FORGIVE :=Laura: you unintentionally, I ask you to forgive me. 2.3 ::FORGIVEN :=Laura: just now when you said that I was forgiven in advance. 1.4 ::FORGOTTEN :=Captain: Do you imagine I've forgotten it, dear? You've been like a mother 2.3 ::FORMER :=Captain: oddly enough -- probably because the former case can't be proved, while the latter 2.3 ::FORMER :=Captain: some time now you've been setting my former friends against me by spreading a 2.3 ::FORMIDABLE :=Laura: seen now that my intellect is as formidable as my will, you won't stay and 2.1 ::FORTH :=Doctor: the sanctity of family life, and so forth, I can't probe too deeply; I must confine 1.2 ::FORTNIGHT'S :=Captain: is to live in town; she'll leave in a fortnight's time. 1.4 ::FORTNIGHT'S :=Captain: Yes, she's to leave in a fortnight's time. 1.2 ::FORTY-THREE :=Captain: Thirty-four -- nine, forty-three -- seven, eight, fifty-six - 1.3 ::FOUND :=Captain: stones to spectrum analysis, and I've found coal -- a sign of life! What do you 1.4 ::FOUND :=Captain: And you and the Baptists have found the only real faith. Happy people! 2.1 ::FOUND :=Doctor: irritability. You yourself must have found how infuriating it can be when one's 2.3 ::FOUND :=Captain: when it should have been sunrise, we found ourselves sitting among ruins in bright 3.1 ::FOUND :=Captain: It's all to be found here -- in every one of these books. 3.2 ::FOUNDATION :=Captain: is so terrible. If there had been any foundation for them, that would at least 2.3 ::FOUNDATIONS :=Captain: -- perhaps the only one that has any foundations in reality. Take that away and 1.1 ::FOUR :=Pastor: the orphanage and nurse the child for four months, and then it's looked after for 2.2 ::FOURTH :=Captain: glass, I touched her foot; after the fourth, her knee, and before morning, I had 3.1 ::FOX :=Pastor: -- incredibly strong! You're like a fox in a trap, you'd rather bite off your 2.3 ::FREE :=Captain: That I keep my reason. Free me from my suspicions and I'll give 2.3 ::FREE :=Captain: women pity black slaves and set them free, but you keep white ones. I've worked 2.3 ::FREE :=Captain: and circumstances have made them grow. Free me from the uncertainty -- tell me outright 3.1 ::FREE :=Pastor: So I'm to become the guardian of that free- thinker. You know, I've always looked 1.2 ::FREETHINKER :=Laura: That Freethinker! 1.2 ::FRIEND :=Captain: I merely wished to inform the only friend I and my household have in common. 1.4 ::FRIEND :=Captain: You're not my friend, Margret. 1.4 ::FRIEND :=Captain: against me now -- and that Doctor's no friend of mine. 2.3 ::FRIEND :=Laura: you were wrong. The mother was your friend, you see, while the woman was your 3.2 ::FRIEND :=Captain: or sets up house with a friend. Then he debauches the partner, and 3.2 ::FRIEND :=Captain: the partner, and violates the friend. What becomes of love -- healthy physical 2.2 ::FRIENDS :=Captain: on board a steamer, sitting with some friends in the saloon, when in came the young 2.2 ::FRIENDS :=Doctor: from it. The pity is that we can't be friends. Good night. 2.3 ::FRIENDS :=Captain: time now you've been setting my former friends against me by spreading a rumour 1.1 ::FROM :=Captain: I shall have to get her far away from here. 1.1 ::FROM :=Pastor: might be ruined of he were dismissed from the regiment. 1.2 ::FROM :=Laura: an account of what you spend -- apart from the housekeeping? 1.3 ::FROM :=Doctor: But not from one's doctor. 1.3 ::FROM :=Laura: that one is in honour bound to keep from the world, out of self-respect . . 1.3 ::FROM :=Laura: the whole truth -- however painful -- from the start. 1.4 ::FROM :=Bertha: to the town -- anywhere, to get away from here. So long as I can see you sometimes 1.4 ::FROM :=Captain: in this house. You've seen it all from the very beginning. 1.4 ::FROM :=Captain: meteors are? They're stones that fall from other heavenly bodies. What I do is 2.1 ::FROM :=Bertha: heard. And it seemed as if it came from the box- room -- you know, on the left, 2.1 ::FROM :=Doctor: From what I could gather as we talked, I'm 2.2 ::FROM :=Captain: is, as an indication of love can be, from a married woman to a strange man who 2.2 ::FROM :=Doctor: Far from it. The pity is that we can't be friends. 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: have made them grow. Free me from the uncertainty -- tell me outright 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: since there's hardly anyone, from the Colonel to the cook, who believes 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: That I keep my reason. Free me from my suspicions and I'll give up the 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: If it's true that we're descended from apes, it must at least have been from 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: a high opinion of me, as they say. From these letters, it appears that for some 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: ruined the results that I'd expected from my work. 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: this evening to collect the letters. From them it appears that you've been intercepting 2.3 ::FROM :=Captain: from apes, it must at least have been from two different species. Certainly there's 3.1 ::FROM :=Captain: of. Oh, if only we could have known from the first! 3.1 ::FROM :=Captain: you've taken my hope of immortality from me? What use are science or philosophy 3.1 ::FROM :=Captain: than by the bullet wound in his chest from a duel. On his death-bed he swore that 3.1 ::FROM :=Doctor: to slip this waistcoat on the Captain from behind, as soon as I consider it necessary, 3.1 ::FROM :=Nojd: There's a note from the Colonel. 3.1 ::FROM :=Nurse: Adolf, forgive me. I had to stop you from killing your child. 3.1 ::FROM :=Pastor: you'll admit that he suffered from fixed ideas. 3.2 ::FROM :=Captain: lion-skin that you tried to take away from me. Omphale! Omphale! You cunning woman 3.2 ::FROM :=Captain: up, Hercules, or they'll take you club from you. You'd trick us out of our armour, 2.3 ::FRUITS :=Captain: be reaching out my hand to gather the fruits of success, you cut off my arm. I 2.3 ::FULFILLED :=Laura: the doctor that you are insane. You've fulfilled your function, now, as the -- unfortunately 1.1 ::FULL :=Captain: as her whole education. This house it full of women who all want to bring up my 1.1 ::FULL :=Captain: haven't I? It's like going into a cage full of tigers; if I didn't keep my red-hot 2.2 ::FULL :=Captain: I should be able to give you the full diagnosis and, what is more, the case 2.3 ::FULL :=Captain: lived our lives as heedless as babies, full of fancies, ideas, and illusions; till 2.3 ::FULL :=Laura: you can get rid of me and then have full control over the child. But I'm not 2.3 ::FUNCTION :=Laura: you are insane. You've fulfilled your function, now, as the -- unfortunately -- 2.2 ::FURTHER :=Captain: Is it true that further foals may also be striped, even if 2.3 ::FURTHER :=Laura: father and breadwinner. There's no further need for you, and you must go. You 3.1 ::FURTHER :=Doctor: it necessary, so as to forestall any further outbreaks of violence. As you see, 1.1 ::FUTURE :=Captain: to me as if they're deciding Bertha's future in there out of sheer spite. They 1.1 ::FUTURE :=Pastor: family, but the boy's whole future might be ruined of he were dismissed 1.4 ::FUTURE :=Captain: own good, for the sake of your whole future, you must leave this house. Will you 1.4 ::FUTURE :=Laura: hear what she thinks, since it's her future that's to be decided. 2.3 ::FUTURE :=Captain: sleepless nights, worrying about your future till my hair has turned grey, and 3.2 ::FUTURE :=Captain: women who get children. That's why the future is theirs, and we die childless. "Gentle 1.1 ::GABRIEL'S :=Nojd: like this. We were having a dance at Gabriel's, you see, and Ludwig was saying 2.1 ::GAPING :=Nurse: Sorrow alone escapes our death, to carve upon the gaping tomb: "All must perish, 3.1 ::GARDEN :=Pastor: always looked on him as a weed in our garden. 3.1 ::GARMENT :=Doctor: order, but not before. I have the -- garment outside. Would you kindly ask the 2.1 ::GATHER :=Doctor: From what I could gather as we talked, I'm not entirely convinced 2.3 ::GATHER :=Captain: I should be reaching out my hand to gather the fruits of success, you cut off 2.3 ::GAVE :=Laura: is a battle. And don't imagine that I gave myself to you; I didn't give, I took 3.1 ::GAVE :=Captain: it was the best part of myself that I gave away. And now I want to die. Do what 3.2 ::GAVE :=Captain: illness in return for the love I gave her. My daughter became my enemy, when 3.2 ::GAVE :=Captain: took in my arms was my enemy, for she gave me ten years' illness in return for 2.3 ::GENIUS :=Captain: remark as if it were a flash of genius; you could have led me into crime, 3.1 ::GENTLE :=Nurse: to tuck you up at night and read you "Gentle Jesus"? Do you remember how I used 3.2 ::GENTLE :=Captain: is theirs, and we die childless. "Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a 2.2 ::GENTLEMAN :=Captain: doubts . . . I won't say suspicions, for, as a gentleman, I assume your wife was 3.1 ::GENTLY :=Nurse: hurt him. I'd sooner do it myself, gently -- very gently. But Nojd can wait 3.1 ::GENTLY :=Nurse: sooner do it myself, gently -- very gently. But Nojd can wait outside in case 1.1 ::GET :=Captain: but opposition. I shall have to get her far away from here. 1.1 ::GET :=Captain: it -- otherwise, you know what you'll get. 1.1 ::GET :=Pastor: to nurse it. Afterwards, the girl can get a good place with some respectable family, 1.2 ::GET :=Captain: him because your brother wanted to get rid of him; your mother wanted him because 1.3 ::GET :=Captain: but the devil of it is that I shan't get my treatise finished in time, and I know 1.3 ::GET :=Laura: you, Doctor, that I'm sure we shall get on well together. 1.4 ::GET :=Bertha: love to go to the town -- anywhere, to get away from here. So long as I can see 1.4 ::GET :=Captain: Get out of here, woman! Go to hell, you witches! 1.4 ::GET :=Captain: Get out, woman -- at once. 1.4 ::GET :=Captain: enough. For example, how did you get rid of Dr Nordling, and how did you get 1.4 ::GET :=Captain: rid of Dr Nordling, and how did you get the new man here? 1.4 ::GET :=Laura: Then why get involved in fights with a superior e 2.2 ::GET :=Captain: Is it true that you get striped foals if you cross a zebra with 2.3 ::GET :=Captain: But if I take my own life, you will get nothing. So it's to your advantage that 2.3 ::GET :=Laura: to prove me guilty so that you can get rid of me and then have full control 3.1 ::GET :=Captain: You can't get the better of a woman, eh? 3.1 ::GET :=Captain: of course," I answered. When things get to such a pitch that a man -- a man who 3.1 ::GET :=Nurse: down the back". And then I'd say: "Get up, now, like a good boy, and walk across 3.1 ::GET :=Nurse: and then. And the times you wouldn't get dressed when you ought to. I used to 3.1 ::GET :=Nurse: in and had to play a trick on you to get the knife away? You were a silly little 3.1 ::GET :=Nurse: just sit quietly here, and I'll soon get them again. Now, Mr Adolf, I wonder if 3.1 ::GET :=Nurse: Jesus"? Do you remember how I used to get up in the night and get you a drink, 3.1 ::GET :=Nurse: how I used to get up in the night and get you a drink, and how I used to light 3.2 ::GET :=Captain: have children, it's only women who get children. That's why the future is theirs, 1.1 ::GETS :=Pastor: I'd be in to supper, and the old lady gets anxious if I'm late. 1.3 ::GETS :=Laura: having his own way, but the moment he gets it, he loses interest, and asks me to 1.1 ::GETTING :=Pastor: wasn't the thing she wanted so much as getting her own way. 1.4 ::GETTING :=Captain: Yes, when it come to getting your own way you have the power of 1.4 ::GETTING :=Captain: the only one I can listen to without getting in a rage. 1.1 ::GIFT :=Pastor: other hand, hasn't she shown such a gift for painting that it would be almost 2.3 ::GIFTED :=Captain: to looking up to you as a superior, gifted being, listening to you as it I were 1.1 ::GIRL :=Nojd: nothing ever comes of it unless the girl wants it, too. 1.1 ::GIRL :=Pastor: you don't just mean to leave the girl with a child. I suppose you can't be 1.1 ::GIRL :=Pastor: help to nurse it. Afterwards, the girl can get a good place with some respectable 1.1 ::GIRL :=Pastor: it's rather disgraceful to leave a girl penniless like that, with a baby? Don't 1.1 ::GIRL :=Pastor: what to say. It's hard luck on the girl, I agree, but it's hard luck on the 1.1 ::GIRL :=Pastor: I suppose he'd fallen in love with the girl? 1.1 ::GIRL :=Pastor: mean, suppose he's not the father. The girl can stay in the orphanage and nurse 1.1 ::GIRL'S :=Captain: never know; but we do know that the girl's guilty -- if you can call it guil 1.4 ::GIRL'S :=Captain: considered opinion about how a young girl's life may develop. We, on the other 2.1 ::GIRL'S :=Laura: maintenance order, and when I took the girl's part, he became excited and said that 1.4 ::GIRLS :=Captain: on the other hand, have seen plenty of girls grow up, so it's easier for us to arrive 1.1 ::GIVE :=Pastor: as soon as she'd got it, she used to give it back! She'd say that it wasn't the 1.2 ::GIVE :=Captain: money, and your allowance. You can give me the accounts later. 1.3 ::GIVE :=Doctor: Yes, your charming wife did give me one or two hints about things that 1.4 ::GIVE :=Captain: have given the child life, I want to give her my intellect, too. 1.4 ::GIVE :=Laura: You see, I should only need to give the name of the real father, with details 2.2 ::GIVE :=Captain: and perhaps I should be able to give you the full diagnosis and, what is 2.3 ::GIVE :=Captain: Free me from my suspicions and I'll give up the fight. 2.3 ::GIVE :=Captain: though I was innocent. What can you give me in return for that? 2.3 ::GIVE :=Captain: see nor hear, but only obey; you could give me a raw potato and convince me that 2.3 ::GIVE :=Laura: that I gave myself to you; I didn't give, I took -- just what I wanted. But you 3.1 ::GIVE :=Doctor: I've had a word with him, and when I give the order, but not before. I have the 3.1 ::GIVE :=Laura: Give it to me. Ah. . . Nojd, have you taken 3.1 ::GIVE :=Laura: Give me the keys. 3.1 ::GIVE :=Laura: Did he give you the keys? 3.1 ::GIVE :=Laura: There. Give this to Nojd. And my mother's not to 3.1 ::GIVE :=Nurse: Give me them? No. God forgive me. I took 3.1 ::GIVE :=Nurse: believe we knew what was best for you. "Give me that snake," I said, "or it'll bite!" 3.2 ::GIVE :=Captain: that's lying on me -- take it away! Give me my tunic -- put that over me. Ah, 3.2 ::GIVE :=Captain: away at nothing, till it catches fire. Give me a pillow under my head. And put something 3.2 ::GIVE :=Laura: Give me your hand, my dear. 1.4 ::GIVEN :=Captain: it's not enough for me just to have given the child life, I want to give her 3.2 ::GIVEN :=Captain: sex! What sort of pillow have you given me, Margret? It's so hard and cold 1.3 ::GLAD :=Captain: here already, Doctor. We're very glad to see you. 3.1 ::GLAD :=Laura: after mine. Here's the Doctor. I'm glad to see you, Doctor; you, at any rate, 2.2 ::GLASS :=Captain: I ordered champagne. After the second glass, I touched her foot; after the fourth, 3.1 ::GLASS :=Pastor: conscience. Look at yourself in the glass! You dare not! 1.1 ::GLIMPSE :=Pastor: I caught a glimpse of him, on my way. He seemed a decent, 2.3 ::GNAWED :=Captain: intact -- though you've gnawed and gnawed at it so that soon it will slip its 2.3 ::GNAWED :=Captain: more or less intact -- though you've gnawed and gnawed at it so that soon it will 1.1 ::GO :=Captain: And don't go back in the kitchen, you scoundrel. Well, 1.1 ::GO :=Captain: and sevens. Laura won't let Bertha go, and I can't let her stay in this mad 1.1 ::GO :=Captain: house, without a break. Oh, must you go? Do stay for supper -- it won't be anything 1.1 ::GO :=Captain: in the least. I assure you that will go ahead in the ordinary way; it's a matter 1.1 ::GO :=Nojd: Yes sir; well then, Emma said "Let's go out to the barn." 1.2 ::GO :=Captain: Then I shall go up to my room. Let me know when the Doctor 1.2 ::GO :=Captain: Leave the accounts here, and I'll go over them. 1.2 ::GO :=Captain: in a bad way with us, and if I should go bankrupt, I must be able to produce accounts, 1.3 ::GO :=Laura: Oh, if you only know what I've had to go through, living with him -- if you only 1.4 ::GO :=Bertha: Oh yes! I'd love to go to the town -- anywhere, to get away from 1.4 ::GO :=Bertha: beautifully, but sometimes it won't go at all. When I'm tired, it doesn't, but 1.4 ::GO :=Bertha: that I'd been cheating her, and she go terrible angry. 1.4 ::GO :=Captain: Go on. 1.4 ::GO :=Captain: Ah. So you want to go and live in the town? 1.4 ::GO :=Captain: Get out of here, woman! Go to hell, you witches! Svard! Svard! 1.4 ::GO :=Captain: Will you do that? Would you like to go to the town and learn something usefu 1.4 ::GO :=Captain: I really need you, you desert me and go over to the enemy. 1.4 ::GO :=Laura: and quite legitimate. So Bertha's to go away? 2.1 ::GO :=Captain: Are you still up? Go to bed. 2.1 ::GO :=Doctor: But things can't go on like this; something must be done, 2.1 ::GO :=Nurse: -- there's someone out in the hall. Go to bed now -- and take the coffee-pot 2.1 ::GO :=Nurse: his kind of illness he doesn't have to go to bed. Ssh -- there's someone out in 2.2 ::GO :=Captain: difference of opinion about the case. Go to bed, Margret. Do sit down, doctor. 2.2 ::GO :=Captain: see, I'm quite calm, so you can safely go to bed! 2.3 ::GO :=Captain: I realize that one of us must go under in this struggle. 2.3 ::GO :=Captain: suicide. I should have liked to go to the wars, but there were none. Then 2.3 ::GO :=Captain: divulge it. Do you think a man would go and trumpet his own shame abroad. 2.3 ::GO :=Captain: be sane or insane. Think it over. If I go down, I shall have to leave the Service, 2.3 ::GO :=Laura: Go on. 2.3 ::GO :=Laura: for you, and you must go. You must go because, though you've seen now that my 2.3 ::GO :=Laura: no further need for you, and you must go. You must go because, though you've seen 3.1 ::GO :=Captain: Go on talking, Margret; it makes my head 3.1 ::GO :=Captain: What's that? Go to bed when he's just been dressed? Damnation! 3.1 ::GO :=Captain: Margret; it makes my head better. Go on talking. 3.1 ::GO :=Doctor: to imprisonment and a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have you to say about 3.1 ::GO :=Nurse: I said, "or it'll bite!" And you let go of it there and then. And the times you 3.1 ::GO :=Nurse: fits". And then I'd say "Now you must go to bed". 1.1 ::GOD :=Nojd: God bless you, Captain. 1.4 ::GOD :=Captain: how, the moment you talk about God and love, your voice becomes hard, an 1.4 ::GOD :=Nurse: God help us! What will be the end of thi 1.4 ::GOD :=Nurse: Humble your heart, and you'll see how God will make you happy, and loving towards 2.1 ::GOD :=Nurse: Good night, child -- and God bless you. 2.1 ::GOD :=Nurse: but agony was there." Yes, dear child, God send us a happy Christmas. 2.3 ::GOD :=Laura: What can I do? I swear before God and all that I hold sacred that you are 3.1 ::GOD :=Captain: lighted lamps in their wives' faces? "God, what women!" I said. "Women?" she simpered. 3.1 ::GOD :=Nurse: God have mercy on us! What'll be the end 3.1 ::GOD :=Nurse: Give me them? No. God forgive me. I took them out of his clothes 3.1 ::GOD :=Nurse: your stubborn heart, and pray to God for mercy -- it's not too late even now. 3.2 ::GOD :=Captain: The god of Strife, then -- or is it a goddess 3.2 ::GOD :=Doctor: even! You believe there's a god who rules man's destiny, you must refer 3.2 ::GOD :=Laura: Only God . . . 3.2 ::GOD :=Laura: yourself have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, I feel myself innocent 3.2 ::GOD :=Nurse: Listen, he's praying to God! 3.2 ::GOD :=Nurse: -- in his last moments he prayed to God. 1.1 ::GOD'S :=Pastor: preach at him. What effect d'you think God's word would have on a trooper? 1.3 ::GOD'S :=Captain: For God's sake, man, say what you want! I have 3.2 ::GODDESS :=Captain: The god of Strife, then -- or is it a goddess these days? Take away this cat that's 3.1 ::GOES :=Captain: has loved and worshipped a woman -- goes and takes a lighted lamp and flings 3.1 ::GOES :=Captain: only half a tree; but the other half goes on growing, with my arm and half my 3.1 ::GOES :=Laura: Mine? How could I be to blame if a man goes out his mind? 2.2 ::GOETHE :=Doctor: was. And anyhow, Captain, wasn't it Goethe who said "A man must take his children 1.1 ::GOING :=Captain: This is really going too far. 1.1 ::GOING :=Captain: I have, haven't I? It's like going into a cage full of tigers; if I didn't 1.3 ::GOING :=Captain: No, I'm not going to decide; you must say which you'd 1.3 ::GOING :=Captain: Berlin. Still, that isn't what we were going to talk about; how about you? If you'd 1.3 ::GOING :=Laura: My husband's mind is going. Now you know it all; you'll be able 1.4 ::GOING :=Captain: Who's going to hurt you? Tell me -- quickly. 1.4 ::GOING :=Captain: me, because I feel that something's going to happen here -- I don't know what, 1.4 ::GOING :=Laura: Do you really think that a mother is going to send her child among wicked people 1.4 ::GOING :=Nurse: Lord preserve us, what's going to happen now? 2.1 ::GOING :=Doctor: correspondence with the booksellers going unanswered. May I ask if -- out of 2.1 ::GOING :=Laura: that he was afraid his mind was going. 3.1 ::GOING :=Bertha: Help! Mama, help! He's going to murder me! 3.1 ::GOING :=Captain: agony caused much more by the rumours going round of his wife's infidelity than 3.1 ::GOING :=Laura: done, I'm afraid. Do you hear how he's going on up there? Does that convince yo 3.1 ::GOLDEN :=Nurse: to wheedle you and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a prince. 2.1 ::GONE :=Doctor: must have some relation to what's gone before. 2.1 ::GONE :=Nurse: but, my dear, this will never do. It's gone twelve o'clock, and you've got to be 2.3 ::GONE :=Captain: will pay for her education when I'm gone? 3.1 ::GONE :=Captain: I do with my life now that my honour's gone? I grafted my right arm, half my brain, 1.1 ::GOOD :=Captain: That's good. Do you think he might be on my sid 1.1 ::GOOD :=Captain: talk to him. You might do him some good. I've sworn at him, I've even thrashed 1.1 ::GOOD :=Captain: -- but we've had all that out before. Good night -- remember me to your family 1.1 ::GOOD :=Captain: a Salvation Army lass. It's no earthly good trying to mould a character like a piece 1.1 ::GOOD :=Orderly: Very good, sir. 1.1 ::GOOD :=Pastor: Good night, Adolf -- say good night to Laura 1.1 ::GOOD :=Pastor: But, good heavens, a man can't have a stepmother 1.1 ::GOOD :=Pastor: Good night, Adolf -- say good night to Laura for me. 1.1 ::GOOD :=Pastor: it. Afterwards, the girl can get a good place with some respectable family, 1.2 ::GOOD :=Captain: Good -- then you know it too. 1.3 ::GOOD :=Captain: Good heavens, no -- through a spectrosco 1.3 ::GOOD :=Captain: Good. Then I won't keep you any longer, Doctor; 1.3 ::GOOD :=Doctor: Good evening, madam. 1.3 ::GOOD :=Doctor: Good night, Captain. 1.3 ::GOOD :=Doctor: things that a stranger ought to know. Good night, Captain. 1.3 ::GOOD :=Laura: No, I'm afraid they're not so good as we could wish. 1.4 ::GOOD :=Captain: Good heavens! Why didn't you tell me? 1.4 ::GOOD :=Captain: me when I tell you for your own good, for the sake of your whole future, 1.4 ::GOOD :=Laura: with anything, to lose my home and my good name, for the sake of keeping my child 1.4 ::GOOD :=Nurse: he'll come back to her again, like a good little child. 1.4 ::GOOD :=Nurse: of each other? Two people who are so good and kind to everyone else. The mistress 2.1 ::GOOD :=Bertha: Good night, Margret. 2.1 ::GOOD :=Nurse: Good night, child -- and God bless you. 2.2 ::GOOD :=Captain: How terrible. Here's the doctor. Good evening doctor. How's my mother-in- 2.2 ::GOOD :=Captain: to come to life, he'd be believed? Good night, doctor. As you see, I'm quite 2.2 ::GOOD :=Captain: chest and hold my breath till I die. Good night. 2.2 ::GOOD :=Doctor: Good night, then, Captain. There's nothing 2.2 ::GOOD :=Doctor: The pity is that we can't be friends. Good night. 2.3 ::GOOD :=Captain: in bright moonlight, just as in the good old days. It had only been a little 3.1 ::GOOD :=Captain: used to have a tutor in the house -- a good- looking fellow that people used to 3.1 ::GOOD :=Nurse: Very well, but it's as good as stealing. Just listen to him up there, 3.1 ::GOOD :=Nurse: And then I'd say: "Get up, now, like a good boy, and walk across the room, so that 3.1 ::GOOD :=Pastor: Good evening, Laura, I've been out all day, 3.1 ::GOOD :=Pastor: Good heavens! Here's your doll -- and here's 3.2 ::GOOD :=Captain: me to sleep. I'm tired -- so tired. Good night, Margret! And blessed be thou 3.2 ::GOOD :=Captain: that I can feel your breast. Oh, it's good to sleep on a woman's breast -- a mother's 2.2 ::GOOD-LOOKING :=Captain: I was strong and -- if I may say so -- good-looking. I can call to mind just two 1.1 ::GOODBYE :=Pastor: care of yourself, that's all I say. Goodbye, old man -- Oh, didn't you want to 1.3 ::GOODBYE :=Captain: any longer, Doctor; you must be tired. Goodbye, and I hope I shall see you again 1.4 ::GOODNESS :=Nurse: Me? Goodness, Mr Adolf, how can you say such 1.4 ::GOODNESS :=Nurse: Yes, I've seen, all right. But, my goodness, why must two people plague the 1.2 ::GOODS :=Captain: None whatever. Once you've sold your goods, you can't expect to have them back 3.1 ::GOSSIP :=Captain: looking fellow that people used to gossip about. 1.1 ::GOT :=Pastor: on the floor like a corpse till she got her own way, then if it was some special 1.1 ::GOT :=Pastor: thing she was after, as soon as she'd got it, she used to give it back! She'd say 1.2 ::GOT :=Captain: or sleep or work in peace until you'd got him in here. You wanted him because your 1.4 ::GOT :=Captain: What has that got to do with it? 1.4 ::GOT :=Captain: Nordling till he left; and then you got your brother to scrape up votes for this 2.1 ::GOT :=Nurse: It's gone twelve o'clock, and you've got to be up in the morning. 2.3 ::GOT :=Captain: was completing myself; that's how you got the upper hand, so that I -- although 3.1 ::GOT :=Pastor: I expect they told you; I've only just got home. Things have taken a serious turn 1.1 ::GOVERNESS :=Captain: Laura wants her to be an artist; the governess wants to make her a Methodist; 1.2 ::GOVERNESS :=Captain: wanted him because I didn't. The governess wanted him because he was a Pietist; 3.1 ::GRAFT :=Captain: a knife and cuts them down below the graft, so that now I'm only half a tree; 3.1 ::GRAFTED :=Captain: my life now that my honour's gone? I grafted my right arm, half my brain, and 1.1 ::GRAND :=Captain: supper -- it won't be anything very grand, but do stay; I'm expecting the new 1.4 ::GRANDMAMA :=Bertha: Grandmama doesn't tell lies. 1.4 ::GRANDMAMA :=Bertha: Grandmama! It was my fault, though; I played 1.4 ::GRANDMAMA :=Bertha: But Grandmama says there are things that she 1.4 ::GRANDMAMA :=Bertha: But Grandmama says you don't understand, and 1.4 ::GRANDMAMA :=Bertha: I'm sorry, but I didn't dare. Grandmama says the spirits take their revenge 1.4 ::GRANDMAMA :=Bertha: I was doing it beautifully, but Grandmama said it was all out of Stagnelius, 1.2 ::GRANDMOTHER :=Captain: old Margret, because she'd known his grandmother ever since she was a baby. That's 1.1 ::GRAVE :=Captain: me as if I had one foot in the grave. 3.1 ::GRAVE :=Pastor: A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. Laura, tell me: is 3.1 ::GRAVE :=Pastor: that big paper there? A receipt for a grave. Well, better a grave than an asylum. 1.4 ::GREAT :=Captain: you desert me now, you'd be doing me a great wrong. You see they're plotting against 1.4 ::GREAT :=Nurse: women's children, every one of you, great of small. . . 1.4 ::GREAT :=Nurse: of everything, old Margret loves her great big boy best; and when he's in trouble, 2.1 ::GREAT :=Doctor: disorder, but he has actually made a great contribution to science. 2.3 ::GREAT :=Laura: life, it was as a second mother. Your great strong body had no fibre, you were 3.1 ::GREATEST :=Captain: Alexander Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet, died in agony caused much 2.3 ::GREW :=Captain: I was the one to take orders. So I grew used to looking up to you as a superior, 2.3 ::GREW :=Captain: enjoy a carefree life, and when you grew old, live it again through your child. 2.3 ::GREY :=Captain: your future till my hair has turned grey, and all so that you could enjoy a carefree 2.1 ::GRIEF :=Nurse: is our life below? Pain and sorrow, grief and woe. Even when it seemed most fair, 3.2 ::GRIN :=Captain: the bushes and poke their heads out to grin. It's like hitting the air, or a sham 3.2 ::GRINDS :=Captain: melt into thin air, and my brain grinds away at nothing, till it catches fire. 2.3 ::GROUNDS :=Laura: Have you any grounds for your suspicions? 1.4 ::GROW :=Captain: other hand, have seen plenty of girls grow up, so it's easier for us to arrive 2.1 ::GROW :=Doctor: cause for suspicions, and then they'd grow like an avalanche. Moreover by your 2.3 ::GROW :=Captain: and circumstances have made them grow. Free me from the uncertainty -- tell 2.3 ::GROW :=Captain: grow old and cease to be women, they grow hair on their chins; I wonder what becomes 2.3 ::GROW :=Captain: was a sleepwalker himself. When women grow old and cease to be women, they grow 2.3 ::GROW :=Captain: I wonder what becomes of men when they grow old and cease to be men. Those who once 3.1 ::GROW :=Captain: another stem, for I thought they would grow together and knit themselves into a 3.1 ::GROWING :=Captain: a tree; but the other half goes on growing, with my arm and half my brain, while 1.4 ::GROWN :=Captain: how you women manage to treat a grown man as if he were a child? 2.3 ::GROWN :=Captain: my mother? Won't you forget that I'm a grown man -- a soldier whose word of command 3.1 ::GUARDIAN :=Pastor: So I'm to become the guardian of that free- thinker. You know, 2.3 ::GUARDIANS :=Laura: copy is in the hands of the Board of Guardians. 3.1 ::GUESS :=Captain: subaltern in your house, eh? Let me guess: his name was -- There, you see, he's 1.1 ::GUILT :=Captain: girl's guilty -- if you can call it guilt. 1.1 ::GUILTY :=Captain: know; but we do know that the girl's guilty -- if you can call it guilt. 2.3 ::GUILTY :=Captain: If I were convinced that you were guilty, do you imagine I would take on another 2.3 ::GUILTY :=Captain: your anxiety; I've often lulled your guilty conscience to rest, thinking that 2.3 ::GUILTY :=Laura: I can hardly plead guilty to a crime that I've not committe 2.3 ::GUILTY :=Laura: I believe you want to prove me guilty so that you can get rid of me and 3.1 ::GUILTY :=Laura: You talk so much, you must have a guilty conscience. Accuse me, if you can 3.1 ::GUILTY :=Laura: you are, then! You cannot, so I am not guilty. And now, you take care of your ward, 3.1 ::GUNS :=Laura: have you taken all the cartridges out of the guns and emptied the pouches? 3.1 ::HABIT :=Captain: an English lady who complained of the habit Irishmen have of throwing lighted lamps 1.1 ::HAD :=Captain: my dear brother-in-law, it hasn't had much on me. 1.1 ::HAD :=Captain: years she's been treating me as if I had one foot in the grave. 1.1 ::HAD :=Captain: faith, and I'm no martyr -- but we've had all that out before. Good night -- remember 1.1 ::HAD :=Pastor: Strict discipline -- that's what Laura had; but, though she's my own sister, she 1.3 ::HAD :=Doctor: Hadn't it better wait till I've had the pleasure of meeting the Captain? 1.3 ::HAD :=Doctor: I'm sorry to be so late, but I've had some patients to see already. 1.3 ::HAD :=Laura: Heaven know I've had to bring myself to fall in with his wishes, 1.3 ::HAD :=Laura: years. Oh, if you only know what I've had to go through, living with him -- if 1.4 ::HAD :=Captain: world than a poor soldier, if I hadn't had her and her child? 2.1 ::HAD :=Doctor: Tell me, has the Captain ever had these fancies before? 2.1 ::HAD :=Laura: Six years ago we had much the same trouble, and then he actually 2.1 ::HAD :=Laura: His mind wandered, and he had the most extraordinary fancy. Just imagine, 2.1 ::HAD :=Laura: know at all, unless it was that he had to interview one of the men on some question 2.1 ::HAD :=Laura: extraordinary fancy. Just imagine, he had an idea that he wasn't the father of 2.1 ::HAD :=Nurse: Well, he had to! 2.2 ::HAD :=Captain: You are a widower? And you've had children? 2.2 ::HAD :=Captain: her knee, and before morning, I had consoled her. 2.2 ::HAD :=Captain: that, having heard one side, you've had quite enough of it. 2.2 ::HAD :=Captain: down and told us that her sweetheart had been drowned. We sympathized with her, 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: You always had the advantage. If I was awake, you could 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: just as in the good old days. It had only been a little morning nap, with 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: I didn't want to hear any more. I'd had my suspicions for a long time, but I 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: We'd been married for two years, and had no children -- you know why not. I became 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: couldn't inherit anything because we had no children, and he asked if you were 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: and even into petty meanness. For you had no understanding, and instead of carrying 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: at death's door. Once, when the fever had abated for a while, I heard voices outside 2.3 ::HAD :=Captain: hear your answer. I recovered, and we had a child. Who is the father? 2.3 ::HAD :=Laura: I took -- just what I wanted. But you had one advantage -- I realized that, and 2.3 ::HAD :=Laura: second mother. Your great strong body had no fibre, you were like an overgrown 2.3 ::HAD :=Laura: my very blood were ashamed. The mother had become the mistress. Ugh! 3.1 ::HAD :=Captain: who ate his own children because it had been foretold that otherwise they would 3.1 ::HAD :=Captain: as the devil! Who'd have thought you had the sense? Caught, shorn and outwitted 3.1 ::HAD :=Doctor: on the patient after I've had a word with him, and when I give the 3.1 ::HAD :=Nurse: Forgive me, Mr Adolf, forgive me. I had to stop you from killing your child. 3.1 ::HAD :=Nurse: You were a silly little boy, and we had to play tricks on you, because you wouldn't 3.1 ::HAD :=Nurse: and tell you lovely stories when you had bad dreams and couldn't sleep? Do you 3.1 ::HAD :=Nurse: make boats with, and how I came in and had to play a trick on you to get the knife 3.2 ::HAD :=Captain: for you never let me be till you had me lying dead. 3.2 ::HAD :=Captain: My daughter became my enemy, when she had to choose between me and you. And you, 3.2 ::HAD :=Captain: is just what is so terrible. If there had been any foundation for them, that would 1.2 ::HADN'T :=Captain: why I took him in -- because if I hadn't, I should be in the lunatic asylum 1.3 ::HADN'T :=Doctor: Hadn't it better wait till I've had the pleasure 1.4 ::HADN'T :=Captain: in the world than a poor soldier, if I hadn't had her and her child? 2.3 ::HAIR :=Captain: worrying about your future till my hair has turned grey, and all so that you 2.3 ::HAIR :=Captain: old and cease to be women, they grow hair on their chins; I wonder what becomes 3.2 ::HAIR :=Captain: and it smells of vanilla like your hair when you were young . . . When you were 1.1 ::HALF :=Captain: noses, they'd tear me to pieces in half a minute. And you laugh, you wretch! 3.1 ::HALF :=Captain: my right arm, half my brain, and half my marrow, onto another stem, for I 3.1 ::HALF :=Captain: I'm only half a tree; but the other half goes on growing, with my arm and half 3.1 ::HALF :=Captain: below the graft, so that now I'm only half a tree; but the other half goes on growing, 3.1 ::HALF :=Captain: half goes on growing, with my arm and half my brain, while I whither away and die, 3.1 ::HALF :=Captain: honour's gone? I grafted my right arm, half my brain, and half my marrow, onto another 3.1 ::HALF :=Nojd: do that, honestly I can't. I'd take on half a dozen men -- but not a woman! 1.2 ::HALF-WAY :=Captain: she stayed at the railway station -- half-way between the two. It's one of those 1.4 ::HALF-WAY :=Nurse: think you ought to meet the mistress half-way in all this bother over the child? 2.1 ::HALL :=Nurse: bed. Ssh -- there's someone out in the hall. Go to bed now -- and take the coffee-pot 1.1 ::HAND :=Captain: never married after all. On the other hand, I don't want to persuade her into taking 1.1 ::HAND :=Pastor: Perfectly. On the other hand, hasn't she shown such a gift for painting 1.4 ::HAND :=Captain: life may develop. We, on the other hand, have seen plenty of girls grow up, 2.3 ::HAND :=Captain: myself; that's how you got the upper hand, so that I -- although I was the commander 2.3 ::HAND :=Captain: now, when I should be reaching out my hand to gather the fruits of success, you 3.2 ::HAND :=Captain: My hand? When you've tied it behind my back? 3.2 ::HAND :=Laura: Give me your hand, my dear. 2.3 ::HANDS :=Captain: man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, 2.3 ::HANDS :=Laura: -- of which an attested copy is in the hands of the Board of Guardians. 1.4 ::HAPPEN :=Bertha: Oh well then I don't know what will happen. But she must -- she simply must! 1.4 ::HAPPEN :=Captain: I feel that something's going to happen here -- I don't know what, but whatever 1.4 ::HAPPEN :=Nurse: Lord preserve us, what's going to happen now? 3.1 ::HAPPEN :=Pastor: expected something like this would happen; you can't mix fire and water without 1.3 ::HAPPENED :=Captain: Not what is happening, but what has happened. If only those wretched booksellers 2.1 ::HAPPENED :=Laura: I'm afraid something terrible may have happened. 2.3 ::HAPPENED :=Captain: bond has become a chain. How has that happened? I've never thought about that sort 3.1 ::HAPPENED :=Laura: heaven. But just think what might have happened. 3.2 ::HAPPENED :=Captain: it to come to this, and nor did I; yet this has happened. Who orders our li 1.3 ::HAPPENING :=Captain: Not what is happening, but what has happened. If only 1.3 ::HAPPENING :=Doctor: you'll soon be able to tell us what's happening on Jupiter. 1.3 ::HAPPENING :=Laura: man to see through a microscope what's happening on another planet? 3.1 ::HAPPENS :=Nurse: How do you know what happens after death! 1.4 ::HAPPY :=Captain: have found the only real faith. Happy people! 1.4 ::HAPPY :=Nurse: and you'll see how God will make you happy, and loving towards your neighbour 2.1 ::HAPPY :=Nurse: there." Yes, dear child, God send us a happy Christmas. 1.1 ::HARD :=Captain: You see, that would make it so hard on her if she never married after all. 1.1 ::HARD :=Captain: romantic ideas, so she finds it rather hard to adapt herself. Still, she's my wife 1.1 ::HARD :=Pastor: luck on the girl, I agree, but it's hard luck on the boy too. I mean, suppose 1.1 ::HARD :=Pastor: I didn't really know what to say. It's hard luck on the girl, I agree, but it's 1.4 ::HARD :=Captain: about God and love, your voice becomes hard, an your eyes fill with hatred. No, 1.4 ::HARD :=Nurse: it's your learning makes you proud and hard, but it won't help you much in the hour 2.3 ::HARD :=Captain: slavery. I've served seventeen years' hard labour though I was innocent. What can 3.1 ::HARD :=Pastor: It's hard to say -- there'll be a scandal either 3.2 ::HARD :=Captain: have you given me, Margret? It's so hard and cold -- so cold. Come and sit beside 1.4 ::HARDLY :=Captain: The child can hardly have any considered opinion about 2.3 ::HARDLY :=Captain: have been successful, since there's hardly anyone, from the Colonel to the cook, 2.3 ::HARDLY :=Laura: I can hardly plead guilty to a crime that I've 3.1 ::HARDLY :=Pastor: Well, you can hardly deny that it would suit you very well 3.1 ::HARK :=Nurse: Oh, hark, ma'am! Whatever is he doing up the 3.1 ::HARM :=Captain: my darling child, I shan't do you any harm. 3.2 ::HARMED :=Laura: it. That is how it was, and if I have harmed you unintentionally, I ask you to 1.4 ::HARNESSED :=Captain: Have the fast sleigh harnessed at once. 1.1 ::HAS :=Captain: What has Ludwig to do with it? Stick to the p 1.1 ::HAS :=Captain: Oh, the rascal has been playing around with the maid again. 1.1 ::HAS :=Captain: Oh, of course Laura has her faults, but they don't amount to 1.1 ::HAS :=Captain: like to be the Magistrate who has to judge this case. Probably the boy's 1.1 ::HAS :=Pastor: much help for you, and of course Laura has her supporters -- through there. 1.2 ::HAS :=Captain: He has the rights simply because he takes on 1.2 ::HAS :=Captain: he takes on the responsibilities -- or has them forced on him. In marriage, naturally 1.2 ::HAS :=Laura: So she has no rights over her own child? 1.2 ::HAS :=Laura: And the mother has no say in the matter? 1.2 ::HAS :=Laura: Then how is it that the father has such rights over a woman's children? 1.3 ::HAS :=Captain: I expect that my wife has told you a little about us, so you'll 1.3 ::HAS :=Captain: Not what is happening, but what has happened. If only those wretched booksellers 1.3 ::HAS :=Captain: the last two months, not one of them has acknowledged my orders. I've written 1.3 ::HAS :=Laura: family's welfare. For instance, he has a mania for buying all sorts of thin 1.3 ::HAS :=Laura: afraid of, too. You see, he sometimes has the most extraordinary ideas. Of course 1.4 ::HAS :=Captain: What has that got to do with it? 1.4 ::HAS :=Captain: Exactly, old lady! She has only one anxiety, while I have three 1.4 ::HAS :=Captain: have the power of the devil, but so has everyone who's unscrupulous enough. For 1.4 ::HAS :=Laura: people who'll say that all her mother has taught her is stupid? Why, the daughter 1.4 ::HAS :=Nurse: Now, now, now! A father has other things to think of, but a mother 1.4 ::HAS :=Nurse: other things to think of, but a mother has only her child. 2.1 ::HAS :=Doctor: arousing his suspicions. Tell me, has the Captain ever had these fancies b 2.1 ::HAS :=Doctor: suspicion of mental disorder, but he has actually made a great contribution to 2.1 ::HAS :=Doctor: thought I must have misheard you. One has to be careful about making an accusation 2.1 ::HAS :=Laura: I've no idea, he has such wild fancies nowadays. 2.1 ::HAS :=Laura: out; besides, she's the only one who has any influence over him. Margret! Mar 2.2 ::HAS :=Captain: a married woman to a strange man who has never made any advances to her. So the 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: Yes, for she has her children, while he has not. But we, 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: Your behaviour has succeeded in arousing my suspicions so 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: Naturally, since he has the power. 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: -- perhaps the only one that has any foundations in reality. Take that 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man hands, organs, dimensions, 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: about your future till my hair has turned grey, and all so that you could 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: Yes, I'm crying, although I'm a man. Has not a man eyes? Has not a man hands, 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: but the bond has become a chain. How has that happened? I've never thought about 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: child help us together, but the bond has become a chain. How has that happened? 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: consequence is that the loss of time has practically ruined the results that I'd 2.3 ::HAS :=Captain: Yes, for she has her children, while he has not. But we, like the rest of mankind, 2.3 ::HAS :=Laura: Yes, power. What has all this life and death struggle been 3.1 ::HAS :=Captain: such a pitch that a man -- a man who has loved and worshipped a woman -- goes 3.1 ::HAS :=Doctor: I'm convinced that he has become violent, but the question is whether 3.1 ::HAS :=Doctor: outbreaks of violence. As you see, it has unusually long sleeves that can be tied 3.2 ::HAS :=Captain: wanted it to come to this, and nor did I; yet this has happened. Who orders our 3.2 ::HAS :=Laura: even if I am not. You're existence has been like a stone on my heart, weighing 1.1 ::HASN'T :=Captain: you know, my dear brother-in-law, it hasn't had much on me. 1.1 ::HASN'T :=Pastor: It certainly hasn't. 1.1 ::HASN'T :=Pastor: Perfectly. On the other hand, hasn't she shown such a gift for painting 2.3 ::HATE :=Captain: word first -- about realities: do you hate me? 3.1 ::HATE :=Captain: souls, and you love me with one, and hate me with the other. But you must love 1.4 ::HATRED :=Captain: becomes hard, an your eyes fill with hatred. No, Margret, you certainly haven't 2.1 ::HAUNTED :=Bertha: stay up there all alone, I think it's haunted. 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: I have, haven't I? It's like going into a cage 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: I dare say, but I have more than my share. I even have my old 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: Then the Court'll have to decide. I've done all I can. Besides, 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: -- especially when I, who should have most voice in her upbringing, meet with 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: expecting the new doctor, you know. Have you seen him yet? 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: chap. I wish you'd be kind enough to have a little talk to him. You might do him 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: well as those poor schoolmasters who have to provide for a family on their pay. 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: with nothing but opposition. I shall have to get her far away from here. 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: but I have more than my share. I even have my old nurse here, treating me as if 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: worth trying with him. Ah, Nojd, what have you been up to now? 1.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: "Anxious"? You mean "angry". All right, have it your own way. Let me help you on 1.1 ::HAVE :=Nojd: Oh, you always have to tell them that. 1.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: You certainly have too many women running your house for 1.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: Ah well, we all have our troubles in this life. 1.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: What do you mean? I let him have it, didn't I? 1.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: But, good heavens, a man can't have a stepmother living in his house. 1.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: effect d'you think God's word would have on a trooper? 1.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: the only friend I and my household have in common. Bertha is to live in town; 1.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: sold your goods, you can't expect to have them back and keep the money. 1.2 ::HAVE :=Laura: Do I have to keep accounts, now? 1.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: in the annexe, or would you rather have the old doctor's quarters? 1.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: God's sake, man, say what you want! I have no preference, no opinion, no wishes 1.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: told you a little about us, so you'll have some ideas how the land lies. 1.3 ::HAVE :=Doctor: to hear this, madam. I assure you, you have all my sympathy. 1.3 ::HAVE :=Laura: No. You must hear what I have to say before you see him. 1.3 ::HAVE :=Laura: country district, it means so much to have a doctor who takes an interest in his 1.4 ::HAVE :=Bertha: to turn the lamp down, and then I have to sit at the table and hold a pen over 1.4 ::HAVE :=Bertha: all. When I'm tired, it doesn't, but I have to make something come. This evening 1.4 ::HAVE :=Bertha: you don't understand, and she says you have things that are far worse -- things 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: Have the fast sleigh harnessed at once. 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: No, I'll have no one -- woman or child -- encroaching 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: The child can hardly have any considered opinion about how a young 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: And you and the Baptists have found the only real faith. Happy pe 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: She has only one anxiety, while I have three -- as well as all hers. Don't 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: it come to getting your own way you have the power of the devil, but so has everyone 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: may develop. We, on the other hand, have seen plenty of girls grow up, so it's 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: see, it's not enough for me just to have given the child life, I want to give 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: leave home, but I also know that you have the power to make her change her mind 1.4 ::HAVE :=Captain: as all hers. Don't you think I should have been something more in the world than 1.4 ::HAVE :=Laura: Have you told Bertha? 1.4 ::HAVE :=Laura: But since we have different ideas, surely Bertha might 1.4 ::HAVE :=Laura: Suppose it were true, you'd have no more rights. 1.4 ::HAVE :=Laura: different ideas, surely Bertha might have the casting vote. 1.4 ::HAVE :=Nurse: ready. Won't you please come out and have it. 1.4 ::HAVE :=Nurse: the father of your own child. Come and have supper, now, and don't sit there sulking. 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: Then think how it must have affected him. 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: -- yet the treatment must have some relation to what's gone before 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: point, because I thought I must have misheard you. One has to be careful 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: meddling in his affairs, he would have cause for suspicions, and then they'd 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: his irritability. You yourself must have found how infuriating it can be when 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: saying so, but I don't think you can have considered the consequences of such 2.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: avalanche. Moreover by your action you have thwarted his will, and increased his 2.1 ::HAVE :=Laura: yet. I'm afraid something terrible may have happened. 2.1 ::HAVE :=Nurse: with his kind of illness he doesn't have to go to bed. Ssh -- there's someone 2.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: I should have thought that, having heard one side, 2.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: Do you think he would have spoken if he'd been alive? And do you 2.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: The latest researches have established that there is only one kind. 2.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: is more, the case history. But since I have the misfortune to be a man, I can only 2.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: watch me. If I weren't a man, I should have the right to make accusations -- or 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: Have you the power already, then? 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: Yes, you have poured them into my ears like drops 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: Ah, I see you have a high opinion of me, as they say. From 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: And how can you have me put under restraint? 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: If the child is not mine, then I have no control over her, nor do I desire 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: the call, so that when it should have been sunrise, we found ourselves sitting 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: and my obligations as a father; I have my emotions pretty well under control, 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: the onset of the madness that you have been waiting for, and that may come 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: There are for me, and it's you who have raised them. 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: or an honourable suicide. I should have liked to go to the wars, but there were 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: drops of henbane, and circumstances have made them grow. Free me from the uncertainty 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: something else as well: you want to have power over the child, yet still have 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: Think it over. If I go down, I shall have to leave the Service, and where will 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: appeal to your feelings, because you have none -- I appeal to your own intere 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: have power over the child, yet still have me to support you. 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: it were a flash of genius; you could have led me into crime, and even into petty 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: my sanity. What's more, your efforts have been successful, since there's hardly 2.3 ::HAVE :=Captain: descended from apes, it must at least have been from two different species. Certainly 2.3 ::HAVE :=Laura: Have you any grounds for your suspicions 2.3 ::HAVE :=Laura: You should have been a poet, you know. 2.3 ::HAVE :=Laura: so that you can get rid of me and then have full control over the child. But I'm 2.3 ::HAVE :=Laura: were my own child. But you must surely have noticed how embarrassed I was whenever 3.1 ::HAVE :=Bertha: I won't have you saying anything bad about Mama. 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: Would it have mattered? 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: or philosophy to me, now that I have nothing to live for? What can I do with 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: clear enough, isn't it? And what have we here? Merzlyakov's History of Russian 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: a major of Dragoons. Bless me if I don't believe you have horns too! 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: eyes. But I see her soul, too! You have two souls, and you love me with one, 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: just been dressed? Damnation! What have you done to me? Woman! You're as cunning 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: But you must love me only. You must have only one soul, or you will never have 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: That's a fine thing, eh? And then we have the prophet Ezekiel: "The fool saith: 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: any peace, and nor shall I. You must have one thought only, the child of my thought; 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: can't be sure. Do you know what we'd have to do to be sure? Marry first, so as 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: crowned heads for a little, I'd soon have you shut up, too. Yes, I'm mad; but 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: father, but who can tell whose loins have engendered him?" That's clear enough, 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: who complained of the habit Irishmen have of throwing lighted lamps in their wives' 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: You're as cunning as the devil! Who'd have thought you had the sense? Caught, shorn 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: have only one soul, or you will never have any peace, and nor shall I. You must 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: know nothing of. Oh, if only we could have known from the first! 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: your children? I remember you used to have a tutor in the house -- a good- looking 3.1 ::HAVE :=Captain: -- who told you? That I should live to have my own child tell me to my face that 3.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: Then you have no firm convictions about what would 3.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: I give the order, but not before. I have the -- garment outside. Would you kindly 3.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: a fine, or to go to an asylum. What have you to say about the Captain's beha 3.1 ::HAVE :=Doctor: to restrict his movements. And here we have two straps with buckles which you then 3.1 ::HAVE :=Laura: Give it to me. Ah. . . Nojd, have you taken all the cartridges 3.1 ::HAVE :=Laura: You talk so much, you must have a guilty conscience. Accuse me, if you 3.1 ::HAVE :=Laura: heaven. But just think what might have happened. 3.1 ::HAVE :=Nurse: God have mercy on us! What'll be the end of 3.1 ::HAVE :=Nurse: dressed when you ought to. I used to have to wheedle you and say you'd have a 3.1 ::HAVE :=Nurse: to have to wheedle you and say you'd have a golden coat and be dressed like a 3.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: You're like a master-thief -- you have no accomplice, not even your own conscience. 3.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: you; I've only just got home. Things have taken a serious turn here, then? 3.1 ::HAVE :=Pastor: your letters and this locket. He must have loved you very much, Laura, all the 3.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: My child? A man doesn't have children, it's only women who get children. 3.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: your whole sex! What sort of pillow have you given me, Margret? It's so hard 3.2 ::HAVE :=Captain: blank cartridges. A mortal truth would have roused my resistance, and roused my 3.2 ::HAVE :=Laura: Is that all you have to say at this death-bed, Doctor? 3.2 ::HAVE :=Laura: it. That is how it was, and if I have harmed you unintentionally, I ask you 3.2 ::HAVE :=Laura: run on the lines that you yourself have laid down, and, before God and my conscience, 3.2 ::HAVE :=Laura: behind my actions -- well, there may have been one, but I knew nothing about it. 1.1 ::HAVEN'T :=Captain: I have, haven't I? It's like going into a cage full 1.4 ::HAVEN'T :=Captain: hatred. No, Margret, you certainly haven't the true faith. 1.4 ::HAVEN'T :=Laura: Besides, how do you know that I haven't been unfaithful to you? 1.4 ::HAVEN'T :=Nurse: worst of everyone. It's because you haven't the true Faith, you see, that's what 1.1 ::HAVING :=Nojd: Well then, it was like this. We were having a dance at Gabriel's, you see, and 1.3 ::HAVING :=Laura: He always insists on having his own way, but the moment he gets 2.2 ::HAVING :=Captain: I should have thought that, having heard one side, you've had quite enough 1.1 ::HE :=Captain: That's good. Do you think he might be on my side? 1.1 ::HE :=Captain: efforts to a well-known artist, and he said they were only up to school-girl 1.1 ::HE :=Captain: whippersnapper who knows better, and he says she shows superb talent; so, that 1.1 ::HE :=Pastor: Nojd? Didn't he do rather well earlier this year? 1.1 ::HE :=Pastor: I caught a glimpse of him, on my way. He seemed a decent, reliable sort of cha 1.1 ::HE :=Pastor: boy's whole future might be ruined of he were dismissed from the regiment. 1.2 ::HE :=Captain: He has the rights simply because he takes 1.2 ::HE :=Captain: The moment he arrives, please. Naturally I don't want 1.2 ::HE :=Captain: to her husband, and in return he must support her and her children. 1.2 ::HE :=Captain: He has the rights simply because he takes on the responsibilities -- or has 1.2 ::HE :=Captain: The governess wanted him because he was a Pietist; and old Margret, because 1.3 ::HE :=Doctor: Is he obstinate? 1.3 ::HE :=Doctor: Does he say that he can do that? 1.3 ::HE :=Doctor: Does he say that he can do that? 1.3 ::HE :=Doctor: That's insignificant. What does he buy? 1.3 ::HE :=Doctor: any symptoms of sudden moodiness -- is he very changeable? 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: He always insists on having his own way, 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: That's what he says. 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: Whole crates of books that he never reads. 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: own way, but the moment he gets it, he loses interest, and asks me to decide 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: to see you. The Captain is out, but he should be back at any moment. 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: what we're afraid of, too. You see, he sometimes has the most extraordinary ideas. 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: on having his own way, but the moment he gets it, he loses interest, and asks me 1.3 ::HE :=Laura: whole family's welfare. For instance, he has a mania for buying all sorts of t 1.4 ::HE :=Captain: You insulted Nordling till he left; and then you got your brother to 1.4 ::HE :=Captain: women teach his daughter that he is a charlatan? 1.4 ::HE :=Captain: manage to treat a grown man as if he were a child? 2.1 ::HE :=Bertha: Eve. But if he's ill, how can he be up? 2.1 ::HE :=Captain: But was he sure he was the only one? No, he couldn't 2.1 ::HE :=Captain: But was he sure he was the only one? No, he couldn't be, 2.1 ::HE :=Captain: Are you sure it was he? 2.1 ::HE :=Captain: Did Johansson admit that he was the father? 2.1 ::HE :=Captain: was he sure he was the only one? No, he couldn't be, even though you were sure. 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: Would you like me to stay till he comes back? To avoid suspicion I could 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: you made a mistake when you said he arrived at his extraordinary conclusions 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: that with a mental patient, unless he brings up the subject himself, and then 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: the consequences of such a step. If he were to discover that you've been secretly 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: point that strikes me as suspicious. He spoke about his correspondence with the 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: any suspicion of mental disorder, but he has actually made a great contribution 2.1 ::HE :=Doctor: been secretly meddling in his affairs, he would have cause for suspicions, and then 2.1 ::HE :=Laura: I've no idea, he has such wild fancies nowadays. 2.1 ::HE :=Laura: His mind wandered, and he had the most extraordinary fancy. Just 2.1 ::HE :=Laura: and when I took the girl's part, he became excited and said that no one could 2.1 ::HE :=Laura: Just imagine, he had an idea that he wasn't the father of his own child. 2.1 ::HE :=Laura: extraordinary fancy. Just imagine, he had an idea that he wasn't the father 2.1 ::HE :=Laura: in his
