Kaia: Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I'm sure Mrs. Solness thinks ill of me in some way!
Solness: Oh, not in the least! You'd better go now, all the same, Kaia. And mind you get that matter about Ragnar settled for me. Please give me Ragnar's drawings before you go. I might glance over them.
Kaia (happy): Oh, yes, please do!

Mrs. Solness: Halvard, I cannot keep the doctor any longer.
Solness: Well, then, come in here.
