Ulfheim.

In among all the half-dead flies and people? No, thank you a thousand times, Mr. Inspector.

The Inspector.

Well, well, as you please.

Ulfheim.

But get the housekeeper to prepare a hamper for me as usual. There must be plenty of provender in it—and lots of brandy—! You can tell her that I or Lars will come and play Old Harry with her if she doesn’t——

The Inspector.

[Interrupting.] We know your ways of old. [Turning.] Can I give the waiter any orders, Professor? Can I send Mrs. Rubek anything?

Professor Rubek.

No thank you; nothing for me.
