 Mrs. Solness.

[Turning her head a little.] Have you been round the garden, Miss Wangel?

Hilda.

Yes, I have been taking a look at it.

Mrs. Solness.

And found some flowers too, I see.

Hilda.

Yes, indeed! There are such heaps of them in among the bushes.

Mrs. Solness.

Are there really? Still? You see I scarcely ever go there.

Hilda.

[Closer.] What! Don't you take a run down into the garden every day, then?

Mrs. Solness.

[With a faint smile.] I don't "run" anywhere, nowadays.

Hilda.

Well, but do you not go down now and then to look at all the lovely things there?

Mrs. Solness.

It has all become so strange to me. I am almost afraid to see it again.

Hilda.

Your own garden!
