Couldn’t you try ratsbane?
Dr. Stockmann.
Oh, nonsense, nonsense!—But since every one declares it’s nothing but fancy, why fancy let it be! Let them have it their own way! Haven’t the ignorant, narrow-hearted curs reviled me as an enemy of the people?—and weren’t they on the point of tearing the clothes off my back?
Morten Kiil.

Dr. Stockmann.

Morten Kiil.
That’s right! You just follow the advice of a sensible woman.
Dr. Stockmann.
