[To HILDA.] Don't say anything about my being here.
Oh no! I daresay I shall find something else to talk to Mr. Solness about.
And be sure you keep firm hold of him. I believe you can do it best.
[MRS. SOLNESS and DR. HERDAL go into the house. HILDA remains
standing on the verandah. SOLNESS comes from the garden, up
the flight of steps.
Somebody wants me, I hear.
Yes; it is I, Mr. Solness.
Oh, is it you, Hilda? I was afraid it might be Aline or the Doctor.
You are very easily frightened, it seems!
Do you think so?
Yes; people say that you are afraid to climb about—on the scaffoldings, you know.
