[Immovable, follows SOLNESS with her eyes.] He climbs and climbs.

HILDA.

He climbs and climbs. He will soon be at the top now.


MRS. SOLNESS.

Oh, I shall die of terror. I cannot bear to see it.


DR. HERDAL.

Then don't look up at him.


HILDA.

There he is standing on the topmost planks! Right at the top!
