 Mrs. Solness.

[Appears in the doorway.] Who do you say it is? [Sees Hilda.] Oh, is it you, Miss Wangel? [Goes up to her and offers her hand.] So you have come to town after all.

Solness.

Miss Wangel has this moment arrived; and she would like to stay the night here.

Mrs. Solness.

Here with us? Oh yes, certainly.

Solness.

Till she can get her things a little in order, you know.

Mrs. Solness.

I will do the best I can for you. It's no more than my duty. I suppose your trunk is coming on later?

Hilda.

I have no trunk.

Mrs. Solness.

Well, it will be all right, I daresay. In the meantime, you must excuse my leaving you here with my husband, until I can get a room made a little comfortable for you.

Solness.

Can we not give her one of the nurseries? They are all ready as it is.
