No, she doesn't need to. Erhart has arranged for her to stay
with a lady who lives near us--a Mrs. Wilton----

ELLA RENTHEIM.
[With interest.] Mrs. Wilton?

MRS. BORKMAN.
A very rich woman. You don't know her.

ELLA RENTHEIM.
I have heard her name. Mrs. Fanny Wilton, is it not----?

MRS. BORKMAN.
Yes, quite right.

ELLA RENTHEIM.
Erhart has mentioned her several times. Does she live out
here now?

MRS. BORKMAN.
Yes, she has taken a villa here; she moved out from town some
time ago.

ELLA RENTHEIM.
[With a slight hesitation.] They say she is divorced from
her husband.

MRS. BORKMAN.
Her husband has been dead for several years.
