Aline and I lived there in the first years of our married life. There was an old house up there that had belonged to her mother; and we inherited it, and the whole of the great garden with it.
Hilda.
Was there a tower on that house, too?
Solness.
No, nothing of the kind. From the outside it looked like a great, dark, ugly wooden box; but all the same, it was snug and comfortable enough inside.
Hilda.
Then did you pull down the ramshackle old place?
Solness.
No, it was burnt down.
Hilda.
