shall experiment with the street-curs for once in a way; there are sometimes excellent heads amongst them.
Morten.
But what are we to do when we've grown into free and high-minded men?
Dr. Stockmann.

Mrs. Stockmann.
The strongest—now?
Dr. Stockmann.
Yes, I venture to say this: that now I am one of the strongest men in the whole world.
Morten.
I say, what fun!
Dr. Stockmann.

Mrs. Stockmann.
