1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - DR. STOCKMANN'S sitting-room. It is evening. The room
is plainly but neatly appointed and furnished. In the right-hand wall are two
doors; the farther leads out to the hall, the nearer to the doctor's study. In
the left-hand wall, opposite the door leading to the hall, is a door leading to
the other rooms occupied by the family. In the middle of the same wall stands
the stove, and, further forward, a couch with a looking-glass hanging over it
and an oval table in front of it. On the table, a lighted lamp, with a
lampshade. At the back of the room, an open door leads to the dining-room.
BILLING is seen sitting at the dining table, on which a lamp is burning. He has
a napkin tucked under his chin, and MRS. STOCKMANN is standing by the table
handing him a large plate-full of roast beef. The other places at the table are
empty, and the table somewhat in disorder, evidently a meal having recently
been finished.)
