[Heedlessly.] So much the better!

Hilda.

[Vehemently.] I cannot do any harm to one whom I know! I can’t take away anything that belongs to her.

Solness.

Hilda.

[Continuing.] A stranger, yes! for that is quite a different thing! A person I have never set eyes on. But one that I have come into close contact with——! Oh no! Oh no! Ugh!

Solness.

Yes, but I never proposed you should.
