СКАЧАТЬ to wrap them up in. That will do! Now give it to-to-(stamps his foot)—what the deuce is her name?—give it to the maid, and tell her to take it at once to the Mayor.

      (Mrs. Stockmann takes the packet and goes out through the dining-room.)

      Petra. What do you think Uncle Peter will say, father?

      Dr. Stockmann. What is there for him to say? I should think he would be very glad that such an important truth has been brought to light.

      Hovstad. Will you let me print a short note about your discovery in the "Messenger?"

      Dr. Stockmann. I shall be very much obliged if you will.

      Hovstad. It is very desirable that the public should be informed of it without delay.

      Dr. Stockmann. Certainly.

      Mrs. Stockmann (coming back). She has just gone with it.

      Billing. Upon my soul, Doctor, you are going to be the foremost man in the town!

      Dr. Stockmann (walking about happily). Nonsense! As a matter of

       fact I have done nothing more than my duty. I have only made a lucky find—that's all. Still, all the same …

      Billing. Hovstad, don't you think the town ought to give Dr. Stockmann some sort of testimonial?

      Hovstad. I will suggest it, anyway.

      Billing. And I will speak to Aslaksen about it.

      Dr. Stockmann. No, my good friends, don't let us have any of that nonsense. I won't hear anything of the kind. And if the Baths Committee should think of voting me an increase of salary, I will not accept it. Do you hear, Katherine?—I won't accept it.

      Mrs. Stockmann. You are quite right, Thomas.

      Petra (lifting her glass). Your health, father!

      Hovstad and Billing. Your health, Doctor! Good health!

      Horster (touches glasses with DR. STOCKMANN). I hope it will bring you nothing but good luck.

      Dr. Stockmann. Thank you, thank you, my dear fellows! I feel tremendously happy! It is a splendid thing for a man to be able to feel that he has done a service to his native town and to his fellow-citizens. Hurrah, Katherine! (He puts his arms round her and whirls her round and round, while she protests with laughing cries. They all laugh, clap their hands, and cheer the DOCTOR. The boys put their heads in at the door to see what is going on.)
