[Contemptuously.] Pooh! Is that all? That only amuses me.

[With suppressed ill-humour.] Yes, but people might take it into their heads that you were mad too, you see.

Mad? Are there so many mad people here in town, then?

[Points to his own forehead.] Here you see one at all events.

You—Mr. Solness!

Have you not noticed that yet?

No, I certainly have not. [Reflects and laughs a little.] And yet—perhaps in one single thing.

Ah, do you hear that, Aline?

What is that one single thing, Miss Wangel?

No, I won't say.
