The Inspector.
I am delighted to hear it. The first night in a strange place is often rather trying.—And the Professor——?
Professor Rubek.
Oh, my night’s rest is never much to boast of—especially of late.
The Inspector.
[With a show of sympathy.] Oh—that is a pity. But after a few weeks’ stay at the Baths—you will quite get over that.
Professor Rubek.
[Looking up at him.] Tell me, Inspector—are any of your patients in the habit of taking baths during the night?
The Inspector.
[Astonished.] During the night? No, I have never heard of such a thing.
