Solness.
[More gently.] Kaia, don’t you really care a little bit for Ragnar, too?
Kaia.
I cared very much for Ragnar once—before I came here to you.
Solness.
But you don’t now? Not in the least?
Kaia.
[Passionately, clasping her hands and holding them out towards him.] Oh, you know very well there is only one person I care for now! One, and one only, in all the world! I shall never care for any one else.
Solness.
Yes, you say that. And yet you go away from me—leave me alone here with everything on my hands.
