You did perfectly right!
Mrs. Stockmann.
Who could have thought Mrs. Busk was such a bad woman!
Petra.
Oh mother, Mrs. Busk isn’t bad at all; I saw clearly how sorry she was. But she dared not do otherwise, she said; and so I am dismissed.
Dr. Stockmann.
[Laughing and rubbing his hands.] She dared not do otherwise—just like the rest! Oh, it’s delicious.
Mrs. Stockmann.
Oh well, after that frightful scene last night——
Petra.
