[In the crowd.] Blow your horn, Evensen! Blow man, blow!
[Horn-blowing, whistling, and wild shouting. The Doctor, with his family, goes towards the door. Horster clears the way for them.
All.
[Yelling after them as they go out.] Enemy of the people! Enemy of the people! Enemy of the people!
Billing.
Strike me dead if I'd care to drink toddy at Stockmann’s to-night!
[The people throng towards the door; the shouting is taken up by others outside; from the street are heard cries of “Enemy of the people! Enemy of the people!”
ACT FIFTH.
Dr. Stockmann’s Study. Bookshelves and glass cases with various collections along the walls. In the back, a door leading to the hall; in front, on the left, a door to the sitting-room. In the wall to the right are two windows, all the panes of which are smashed. In the middle of the room is the Doctor’s writing-table, covered with books and papers. The room is in disorder. It is forenoon.
Dr. Stockmann, in dressing-gown, slippers, and skull-cap, is bending down and raking with an umbrella under one of the cabinets; at last he rakes out a stone.
