 ACT FIFTH.

Dr. Stockmann's Study. Bookshelves and glass cases with various collections along the walls. In the back, a door leading to the hall; in front, on the left, a door to the sitting-room. In the wall to the right are two windows, all the panes of which are smashed. In the middle of the room is the Doctor's writing-table, covered with books and papers. The room is in disorder. It is forenoon.

Dr. Stockmann, in dressing-gown, slippers, and skull-cap, is bending down and raking with an umbrella under one of the cabinets; at last he rakes out a stone.

Dr. Stockmann.

[Speaking through the sitting-room doorway.] Katrina, I've found another!

Mrs. Stockmann.

[In the sitting-room.] Oh, I'm sure you'll find plenty more.

Dr. Stockmann.

[Placing the stone on a pile of others on the table.] I shall keep these stones as sacred relics. Eilif and Morten shall see them every day, and when I die they shall be heirlooms. [Raking under the bookcase.] Hasn't—what the devil is her name?—the girl—hasn't she been for the glazier yet?
