I know you have known a good many women in your time.
SOLNESS.
Yes, I have.
DR. HERDAL.
And have been a good deal taken with some of them, too.
SOLNESS.
Oh yes, I dont deny it.
DR. HERDAL.
But as regards Miss Fosli, then? There is nothing of that sort in this case?
SOLNESS.
No; nothing at all--on my side.
DR. HERDAL.
But on her side?
SOLNESS.
I dont think you have any right to ask that question, doctor.
DR. HERDAL.
Well, you know, we were discussing your wifes intuition.
SOLNESS.
So we were. And for that matter--[lowers his voice]--Alines intuition, as you call it--in a certain sense, it has not been so far astray.
DR. HERDAL.
Aha! there we have it!
SOLNESS.
[Sits down.] Doctor Herdal--I am going to tell you a strange story--if you care to listen to it.
DR. HERDAL.
I like listening to strange stories.
SOLNESS.
Very well then. I daresay you recollect that I took Knut Brovik and his son into my employment--after the old mans business had gone to the dogs.
DR. HERDAL.
Yes, so I have understood.
SOLNESS.
You see, they really are clever fellows, these two. Each of them has talent in his own way. But then the son took it into his head to get engaged; and the next thing, of course, was that he wanted to get married--and begin to build on his own account. That is the way with all these young people.
DR. HERDAL.
[Laughing.] Yes, they have a bad habit of wanting to marry.
