Solness.

Chiefly to you.

Mrs. Solness.

Then you are—ill after all, Halvard.

Solness.

[Gloomily.] I suppose I must be—or not far from it. [Looks towards the door to the right, which is opened at this moment.] Ah! now it grows lighter.

Hilda Wangel comes in. She has made some alteration in her dress, and let down her skirt.

Hilda.

Good morning, Mr. Solness!

Solness.
