[With outstretched arms.] Now I see you again as I did when there was song in the air!

Solness.

[Looks at her with his head bowed.] How have you become what you are, Hilda?

Hilda.

How have you made me what I am?

Solness.

[Shortly and firmly.] The princess shall have her castle.

Hilda.

[Jubilant, clapping her hands.] Oh, Mr. Solness——! My lovely, lovely castle. Our castle in the air!

Solness.
