Dr. Stockmann.
Well, you'll have to pinch and save to eke them out—and then we shall get on all right. That's what troubles me least. No, what does trouble me is that I don't see any man free enough and high-minded enough to dare to take up my work after me.
Petra.
Oh, don't think about that, father; you have time enough before you.—Why, see, there are the boys already.
Eilif and Morten enter from the sitting-room.
Mrs. Stockmann. Have you a holiday to-day?
Morten. No; but we had a fight with the other fellows in play-time—-
Eilif.
That's not true; it was the other fellows that fought us.
Morten.
Yes, and then Mr. Rörlund said we had better stop at home for a few days.
Dr. Stockmann.
[Snapping his fingers and springing down from the table.] Now I have it! Now I have it, on my soul! You shall never set foot in school again!
The Boys.
Never go to school!
