Scene 4 *Clara is asleep* -Rollercoaster- FATHER: Oh Clara, sweet Clara. You were an accident you know, an out-of-theblue baby, as Elisabeth said. Such a privilege, (sneered) but such a little brat. Never have a child to save a marriage; well you're mother learnt that too late. And she never even had to deal with you. Elisabeth. She was pathetic, weak; you both had similar qualities, putting on this independent woman front but always ruled by men; needing to be ruled by men. Your mother let herself be defined by men her whole life: father, brothers, boyfriends and then (halts suddenly) ... me. Of all the boys at that godforsaken dance she chose me. And I did love her, I did. J And she was smart and funny and she had this way of looking at a person, as if you were her whole world. Then my job was made redundant and my brothers were off making their fortune and I was just so ... angry. I could see that other men were interested in her, of course they were.

(Struggle ensues, Clara is pushed into the gravestone, knocks head and falls to the ground) FATHER: No! God! No! It was an accident! I'm sorry. Forgive me. This can't happen again. Elisabeth, forgive me!
