SOLNESS.

Are you in a hurry, doctor?


DR. HERDAL.

No, not at all.


SOLNESS.

May I have a little chat with you?


DR. HERDAL.

With the greatest of pleasure.


SOLNESS.

chair, and sits down himself in the arm-chair. Looks searchingly
at him.] Tell me--did you notice anything odd about Aline?


DR. HERDAL.
