No, I can’t make up my mind whether you mean all you say, or are simply having a joke with me.

Hilda.

[Smiles.] Making fun of you, perhaps? I, too?

Solness.

Yes, exactly. Making fun—of both of us. [Looks at her.] Is it long since you found out that I was married?

Hilda.

I have known it all along. Why do you ask me that?

Solness.

[Lightly.] Oh, well, it just occurred to me. [Looks earnestly at her, and says in a low voice.] What have you come for?

Hilda.
