HILDA.
And kissed me?
SOLNESS.
Yes, I did.
HILDA.
Many times?
SOLNESS.
As many as ever you like.
HILDA.
[Turns quickly toward him and has once more the sparkling expression of gladness in her eyes.] Well, you see, I got it out of you at last!
SOLNESS.
[With a slight smile.] Yes--just think of my forgetting such a thing as that.
HILDA.
[Again a little sulky, retreats from him.] Oh, you have kissed so many people in your time, I suppose.
SOLNESS.
No, you mustn't think that of me. [HILDA seats herself in the arm-chair.
SOLNESS stands and leans against the rocking-chair. Looks observantly at her.] Miss w.a.n.gel!
HILDA.
Yes!
SOLNESS.
How was it now? What came of all this--between us two.
HILDA.
