better than she knows you?

MRS. BORKMAN.
Yes, Erhart saw a good deal of her in town, before she came

ELLA RENTHEIM.

MRS. BORKMAN.
[Taken aback, looking keenly at her.] In spite of that! What

ELLA RENTHEIM.
[Evasively.] Oh, nothing particular.

MRS. BORKMAN.
You said it strangely--you did mean something by it, Ella!

ELLA RENTHEIM.
[Looking her straight in the eyes.] Yes, that is true, Gunhild!
I did mean something by it.

MRS. BORKMAN.

ELLA RENTHEIM.
