[Fussily pulls out the table-drawer.] I must have my books with me. Where are my books?

Gina.

Which books?

Hialmar.

My scientific books, of course; the technical magazines I require for my invention.

Gina.

[Searches in the bookcase.] Is it these here paper-covered ones?

Hialmar.

Yes, of course.

Gina.
