Dear Hedda, how could she do this to me? All I wanted was for dear Lovborg to live his life virtuously, free from the grasp of alcohol. That’s the only reason I followed him to town! Oh goodness, now things have really gotten into a twist. To regain her control over dear, innocent Lovborg, oh the things she has done… Now darling Lovborg believes that I have no faith in him at all! Oh goodness… Me! No faith in Lovborg? No! All I hoped for was to change him, and I had! But dear Hedda, really! How could she coerce Lovborg to drink, then say she never wanted this to happen! Now Lovborg has gone back to drinking again. Oh Hedda…why did you have to speak of mortal terror? Lovborg… dearest, sweet Lovborg, had stopped his drinking! But now… he has started again and oh… how it hurts to see him do this… not after everything I did to stop him! And a party, imagine that! Oh… what am I to do! This is all my fault… I should never have told Hedda anything about darling Lovborg, now he thinks I have betrayed him! Oh how can I fix this? What should I do to regain his trust? I really must hurry, before the spirit in him comes free. But oh dear, I could be too late, he’s going for the party with the gentlemen later. If he starts drinking again, I fear he would go back to the dark days of alcohol. What if I am never able to stop that wildness in him again? Oh this really is terrible… I am so unhappy… What am I to do now?

the day things went wrong

Oh what a dreadful, dreadful day it has been! Of course, it was simply nice to see Lovborg at the Tesman’s house. Bless dear Jorgen for asking him to come, what a delight it was to see him again. Oh it started off so well! This whole time, I’ve tried to help Lovborg to change, to tame the spirit in him that threatens to bring him back to his days of drunkenness. And I’ve done it! Oh to look at him sitting in the Tesmans’, and refusing Hedda’s offer of a drink! Oh that really does please me. What a joy it really was to see him control himself so much. And to think I inspired Lovborg in the writing of his book, well that certainly does delight me. But dear Hedda, stirring up trouble once again… but perhaps this really was my fault. Oh goodness, my heart hurts.
