Mrs. Solness.

Yes, so I see.

Solness.

What do you want with me, Aline?

Mrs. Solness.

I merely wanted to tell you that Dr. Herdal is in the drawing-room. Won’t you come and see him, Halvard?

Solness.

[Looks suspiciously at her.] H’m—is the doctor so very anxious to talk to me?

Mrs. Solness.

Well, not exactly anxious. He really came to see me; but he would like to say how-do-you-do to you at the same time.
