Not quite: the body of Hilda flows in one continuous run, but it takes 3 strokes in all. The pencil lifts 2 times: to dot the i and to finish the H.

Follow the joins as you write Hilda: H ends on a rightward curve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of l; l ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d; d ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a.

Keep i and a small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let l and d climb toward the topline. The capital H spans the full height from baseline to topline.
