Professor Rubek.
I have not heard of any one——
Ulfheim.
Well, there’s some one on the point of giving up the ghost, then—in one corner or another.—People that are sickly and rickety should have the goodness to see about getting themselves buried—the sooner the better.
Maia.
Have you ever been ill yourself, Mr. Ulfheim.
Ulfheim.
Never. If I had, I shouldn’t be here.—But my nearest friends—they have been ill, poor things.
Maia.
And what did you do for your nearest friends?
