But confess now--you want to get married!


KAIA.

[Softly.] Ragnar and I have been engaged for four or five years,
and so---


SOLNESS.

And so you think it time there were an end of it. Is not that so?


KAIA.

Ragnar and Uncle say I must. So I suppose I shall have to give in.


SOLNESS.

[More gently.] Kaia, don't you really care a little bit for Ragnar,
too?


KAIA.

I cared very much for Ragnar once--before I came here to you.
