[Finds his umbrella and brandishes it.] Now, look here!
Hovstad.
You surely don't mean to assault us!
Aslaksen.
I say, be careful with that umbrella!
Dr. Stockmann. Out at the window with you, Mr. Hovstad!
Hovstad. [By the hall door.] Are you utterly crazy?
Dr. Stockmann.
Out at the window, Mr. Aslaksen! Jump I tell you! Be quick about it!
Aslaksen.
[Running round the writing-table.] Moderation, Doctor; I'm not at all strong; I can't stand much [Screams.] Help! help!
Mrs. Stockmann, Petra, and Horster enter from sitting-room.
Mrs. Stockmann.
Good heavens, Thomas! what can be the matter?
Dr. Stockmann.
[Brandishing the umbrella.] Jump, I tell you! Out into the gutter!
Hovstad.
An unprovoked assault! I call you to witness, Captain Horster. [Rushes off through the hall.
