[Suppresses a mocking smile.] You don’t mean that you yourself——?

Solness.

I will take it down to them myself. [Takes the wreath from him.] And now you go home; we don’t require you to-day.

Ragnar.

I know you do not require me any more; but to-day I shall remain.

Solness.

Well, remain then, since you are bent upon it.

Hilda.

[At the railing.] Mr. Solness, I will stand here and look on at you.

Solness.
