MRS. SOLNESS.

[To RAGNAR.] Are we to have music, too?


RAGNAR.

Yes. It's the band of the Mason's Union. [To SOLNESS.] The foreman
asked me to tell you that he is ready now to go up with the wreath.


SOLNESS.

[Takes his hat.] Good. I will go down to him myself.


MRS. SOLNESS.

[Anxiously.] What have you to do down there, Halvard?


SOLNESS.

[Curtly.] I must be down below with the men.
