Hedda.
Perhaps you would prefer to talk to her alone? If so, I will leave you.
Lövborg. No, stay—you too. I beg you to stay.
Mrs. Elvsted. Yes, but I won't hear anything, I tell you.
Lövborg.
It is not last night's adventures that I want to talk about.
Mrs. Elvsted. What is it then?
Lövborg.
I want to say that now our ways must part.
Mrs. Elvsted. Part!
Hedda. [Involuntarily.] I knew it!
Lövborg. You can be of no more service to me, Thea.
Mrs. Elvsted.
How can you stand there and say that! No more service to you! Am I not to help you now, as before? Are we not to go on working together?
Lövborg. Henceforward I shall do no work.
