KAIA.

[Putting down the portfolio.] Good night, then. [Beseechingly.]
And please, please think kindly of me.


SOLNESS.

Oh, that I always do. Good-night, my dear little Kaia. [Glances
to the right.] Go, go now!


MRS. SOLNESS and DR. HERDAL enter by the door on the right.
He is a stoutish, elderly man, with a round, good-humoured
face, clean shaven, with thin, light hair, and gold spectacles.


MRS. SOLNESS.

[Still in the doorway.] Halvard, I cannot keep the doctor any longer.


SOLNESS.

Well then, come in here.


MRS. SOLNESS.
