SOLNESS.
Somebody wants me, I hear.
Hilda.
Yes; it is I, Mr. Solness.
Solness.
Oh, is it you, Hilda? I was afraid it might be Aline or the Doctor.
Hilda.

Solness. Do you think so?
Hilda.
Yes; people say that you are afraid to climb about—on the scaffoldings, you know.
Solness.
Well, that is quite a special thing.
Hilda.
Then it is true that you are afraid to do it?
Solness.
Yes, I am.
Hilda.
Afraid of falling down and killing yourself?
Solness.
No, not of that.
Hilda.
Of what, then?
