Part 18 (1/2)

[Looks hard at him.] It is exactly ten years.

SOLNESS.

HILDA.

DR. HERDAL.

Is this the first time you have ever been up to town, Miss w.a.n.gel?

HILDA.

Yes, it is indeed.

SOLNESS.

And don't you know any one here?

HILDA.

n.o.body but you. And of course, your wife.

SOLNESS.

So you know her, too?

HILDA.

Only a little. We spent a few days together at the sanatorium.

SOLNESS.

Ah, up there?

HILDA.

She said I might come and pay her a visit if ever I came up to town.
