Is this the first time you have ever been up to town, Miss Wangel?
Yes, it is indeed.
And don't you know any one here?
Nobody but you. And of course, your wife.
So you know her, too?
Only a little. We spent a few days together at the sanatorium.
Ah, up there?
She said I might come and pay her a visit if ever I came up to town. [Smiles.] Not that that was necessary.
Odd that she should never have mentioned it.
[HILDA puts her stick down by the stove, takes off the knapsack
and lays it and the plaid on the sofa. DR. HERDAL offers to
help her. SOLNESS stands and gazes at her.
