Solness.
[Sadly.] Oh Hilda—it is not every day that I can do that.
Hilda.
[Passionately.] I will have you do it! I will have it! [Imploringly.] Just once more, Mr. Solness! Do the impossible once again!
Solness.
[Stands and looks deep into her eyes.] If I try it, Hilda, I will stand up there and talk to him as I did that time before.
Hilda.
[In rising excitement.] What will you say to him?
Solness.
I will say to him: Hear me, Mighty Lord—thou may'st judge me as seems best to thee. But hereafter I will build nothing but the loveliest thing in the world
Hilda.
[Carried away.] Yes—yes—yes!
Solness.
—build it together with a princess, whom I love
Hilda.
Yes, tell him that! Tell him that!
SOLNESS.
Yes. And then I will say to him: Now I shall go down and throw my arms round her and kiss her
Hilda.
—many times! Say that!
