Professor Rubek.
Yes, I have not the slightest objection. Off you go to the mountains—as far and as long as you please. I shall perhaps be going the same way myself.
Maia.
[Quickly.] No, no, no, you needn’t do that! Not on my account!
Professor Rubek.
I want to go to the mountains. I have made up my mind to go.
Maia.
Oh thanks, thanks! May I tell the bear-killer at once?
Professor Rubek.
Tell the bear-killer whatever you please.
