Excerpt: ... lie? Bernick: The lie? Lona: Yes-the lie you have persisted in for these fifteen years. Bernick: Do you mean to say that you call that-? Lona: I call it a lie-a threefold lie: first of all, there is the lie towards me; then, the lie towards Betty; and then, the lie towards Johan. Bernick: Betty has never asked me to speak.

Excerpt: ... lie? Bernick: The lie? Lona: Yes-the lie you have persisted in for these fifteen years. Bernick: Do you mean to say that you call that-? Lona: I call it a lie-a threefold lie: first of all, there is the lie towards me; then, the lie towards Betty; and then, the lie towards Johan. Bernick: Betty has never asked me to speak.

But all this grandeur, and you with it, is founded on a treacherous morass. A moment may come and a word may be spoken, when you and all your grandeur will be engulfed in the morass, if you do not save yourself in time. Bernick: Lona-what is your object in coming here? Lona: I want to help you to get firm ground under your feet, Karsten. Bernick: Revenge!-you want to revenge yourself! I suspected it. But you won't succeed!
