Kaia Fosli appears at the door.

Kaia.

[Looking at him in alarm.] Here I am——?

Hilda.

[Handing her the portfolio.] See here, Kaia! You can take this home; Mr. Solness has written on them now.

Kaia.

Oh, at last!

Solness.

Give them to the old man as soon as you can.

Kaia.

I will go straight home with them.

Solness.

Yes, do. Now Ragnar will have a chance of building for himself.

Kaia.

Oh, may he come and thank you for all——?

Solness.

[Harshly.] I won't have any thanks! Tell him that from me.

Kaia. Yes, I will——

Solness.

And tell him at the same time that henceforward I do not require his services—nor yours either.

Kaia.

[Softly and quiveringly.] Not mine either?
