Would not Mr. Ulfheim like to go into the dining-room in the meantime?


ULFHEIM.

In among all the half-dead flies and people? No, thank you a thousand
times, Mr. Inspector.


THE INSPECTOR.

Well, well, as you please.


ULFHEIM.

But get the housekeeper to prepare a hamper for me as usual. There
must be plenty of provender in it--and lots of brandy--! You can
tell her that I or Lars will come and play Old Harry with her if
she doesn't---


THE INSPECTOR.

[Interrupting.] We know your ways of old. [Turning.] Can I give
the waiter any orders, Professor? Can I send Mrs. Rubek anything?


PROFESSOR RUBEK.
