Mrs. Solness.
[Gently disengages herself.] There, there, there! There he comes, doctor. Let me have a word with you.
Dr. Herdal.
Is it about him!
Mrs. Solness.
Yes, to be sure it's about him. Do come in.
She and the doctor enter the house. Next moment Solness comes up from the garden by the flight of steps. A serious look comes over Hilda's face.
Solness.
[Glances at the house-door, which is closed cautiously from within.] Have you noticed, Hilda, that as soon as I come, she goes?
Hilda.
I have noticed that as soon as you come, you make her go.
Solness.
Perhaps so. But I cannot help it. [Looks observantly at her.] Are you cold, Hilda? I think you look cold.
Hilda.
I have just come up out of a tomb.
Solness.
What do you mean by that?
