Dr. Stockmann.

I can’t gloze anything over.

Morten Kiil.

This may cost you dear, Stockmann!

[He goes out.

A Fat Gentleman.

[Goes up to Horster, without bowing to the ladies.] Well, Captain, so you lend your house to enemies of the people.

Horster.

I suppose I can do as I please with my own property, Sir.

The Gentleman.
