PROFESSOR RUBEK.

Very slightly, however. Is he on your list of patients--at last?


THE INSPECTOR.

No, strangely enough--not as yet. He comes here only once a year--on
his way up to his hunting-grounds.--Excuse me for the moment---

[Makes a movement to go into the hotel.


ULFHEIM's VOICE.

[Heard outside.] Stop a moment, man! Devil take it all, can't you
stop? Why do you always scuttle away from me?


THE INSPECTOR.

[Stops.] I am not scuttling at all, Mr. Ulfheim.

[ULFHEIM enters from the left followed by a servant with a
couple of sporting dogs in leash. ULFHEIM is in shooting
costume, with high boots and a felt hat with a feather in
it. He is a long, lank, sinewy personage, with matted hair
and beard, and a loud voice. His appearance gives no precise
clue to his age, but he is no longer young.]
