[Going towards him.] Well, now I must ask you to let me stay the night here.
I am sure there will be no difficulty about that.
For I have no other clothes than those I stand in, except a change of linen in my knapsack. And that has to go to the wash, for it's very dirty.
Oh yes, that can be managed. Now I'll just let my wife know—
Meanwhile I will go and see my patient.
Yes, do; and come again later on.
[Playfully, with a glance at HILDA.] Oh that I will, you may be very certain! [Laughs.] So your prediction has come true, Mr. Solness!
How so?
The younger generation did come knocking at your door.
[Cheerfully.] Yes, but in a very different way from what I meant.
