We won’t live any longer in such a pig-sty! Pack up as quickly as you can, Katrina; let’s get away—the sooner the better.

Mrs. Stockmann.

Hush! I think there is some one in the passage. See who it is, Petra.

Petra.

[Opening the door.] Oh, is it you, Captain Horster? Please come in.

Horster.

[From the hall.] Good morning. I thought I might just look in and ask how you are.

Dr. Stockmann.

[Shaking his hand.] Thanks; that’s very good of you.

Mrs. Stockmann.
