Solness.
[Laughing a little.] Dear, dear—did I say that too?
Hilda.
Yes, you did. And when I asked how long I should have to wait, you said that you would come again in ten years—like a troll—and carry me off—to Spain or some such place. And you promised you would buy me a kingdom there.
Solness.
[As before.] Yes, after a good dinner one doesn’t haggle about the halfpence. But did I really say all that?[that?]
Hilda.
[Laughs to herself.] Yes. And you told me, too, what the kingdom was to be called.
Solness.
Well, what was it?
