SOLNESS.
Yes. We have had no end of things to talk about.
HILDA.
Both old and new.
DR. HERDAL.
Have you really?
HILDA.
Oh, it has been the greatest fun. For Mr. Solness--he has such a miraculous memory. All the least little details he remembers instantly.
MRS. SOLNESS enters by the door on the right.
MRS. SOLNESS.
Well, Miss w.a.n.gel, your room is quite ready for you now.
HILDA.
Oh, how kind you are to me!
SOLNESS.
[To MRS. SOLNESS.] The nursery?
MRS. SOLNESS.
Yes, the middle one. But first let us go in to supper.
SOLNESS.
[Nods to HILDA.] Hilda shall sleep in the nursery, she shall.
MRS. SOLNESS.
[Looks at him.] Hilda?
SOLNESS.
Yes, Miss w.a.n.gel's name is Hilda. I knew her when she was a child.
MRS. SOLNESS.
Did you really, Halvard? Well, shall we go?
[She takes DR. HERDAL's arm and goes out with him to the right. HILDA has meanwhile been collecting her travelling things.
HILDA.
[Softly and rapidly to SOLNESS.] Is it true, what you said? Can I be of use to you?
SOLNESS.
[Takes the things from her.] You are the very being I have needed most.
HILDA.
[Looks at him with happy, wondering eyes and clasps her hands.] But then, great heavens--!
SOLNESS.
[Eagerly.] What--?
HILDA.
Then I have my kingdom!
SOLNESS.
[Involuntarily.] Hilda--!
HILDA.
[Again with the quivering twitch of her lips.] Almost--I was going to say.
