Ghosts 27
Oswald. Such talk as that won t go far with warm
blooded young people, over head and ears in love.
Mrs. diving. No, it wouldn t go far.
Manders. How can the authorities tolerate such
things? Allow it to go on in the light of day? (To
Mrs. Alving.} Had I not cause to be deeply concerned
about your son? In circles where open immorality pre
vails, and has even a sort of prestige !
Oswald. Let me tell you, sir, that I have been a con
stant Sunday-guest in one or two such irregular
homes
Manders. On Sunday of all days!
Oswald. Isn t that the day to enjoy one s self? Well,
never have I heard an offensive word, and still less have
I ever witnessed anything that could be called immoral.
No; do you know when and where I have found immo
rality in artistic circles?
Manders. No! Thank heaven, I don t!
Oswald. Well, then, allow me to inform you. I have
met with it when one or other of our pattern husbands
and fathers has come to Paris to have a look around on
his own account, and has done the artists the honor of
visiting their humble haunts. They knew what was
what. These gentlemen could tell us all about places
and things we had never dreamt of.
Manders. What? Do you mean to say that respect
able men from home here would ?
Oswald. Have you never heard these respectable men,
when they got home again, talking about the way in
which immorality was running rampant abroad?
