You must go on believing in me!


HILDA.

Then let me see you stand free and high up!


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?
