Harald. Naturally, to unite in making an end of it.
Mrs. Evje (as she works). What can we do?
Evje. I am no politician and do not wish to become one.
The Doctor (laughing, and sitting down). No, a politician is a principle, swathed round with a printed set of directions for use. I prefer to be allowed to be a human being.
Harald. No one can fairly insist on your taking up any vocation to which you do not feel you have a calling.
The Doctor. Of course not.
Harald. But one certainly might insist on your not helping to maintain a condition of affairs that you detest.
All. We?
Harald. This newspaper, which is the ultimate reason of all this conversation we have had—you take it in.
Evje. Why, you take it in yourself!
