[Stares incredulously and shouts.] Why, but it's—

[Breaking out in jubilation.] It is the master builder himself?

[Screams with terror.] Yes, it is Halvard! Oh my great God—! Halvard! Halvard!

Hush! Don't shout to him!

[Half beside herself.] I must go to him! I must get him to come down again!

[Holds her.] Don't move, any of you! Not a sound!

[Immovable, follows SOLNESS with her eyes.] He climbs and climbs. Higher and higher! Higher and higher! Look! Just look!

[Breathless.] He must turn now. He can't possibly help it.

He climbs and climbs. He will soon be at the top now.

Oh, I shall die of terror. I cannot bear to see it.
