The Master Builder Part 82

The Master Builder Part 82

ONE OF THE LADIES.


[Whilst MRS. SOLNESS is carried into the house.] Run down for the doctor--


RAGNAR.


I cant stir a root--


ANOTHER LADY.


Then call to some one!


RAGNAR.


[Tries to call out.] How is it? Is he alive?


A VOICE.


[Below, in the garden.] Mr. Solness is dead!


OTHER VOICES.


[Nearer.] The head is all crushed.--he fell right into the quarry.


HILDA.


[Turns to RAGNAR, and says quietly.] I cant see him up there now.


RAGNAR.


This is terrible. So, after all, he could not do it.


HILDA.


[As if in quiet spell-bound triumph.] But he mounted right to the top.


And I heard harps in the air. [Waves her shawl in the air, and shrieks with wild intensity.] My--my Master Builder!
