One has to live. RANK. Yes. So they say. NORA. Oh Doctor … you know you want to live. 55 RANK. Most certainly. However dreadful I feel, I want to prolong the agony as long as possible. My patients all feel the same way. Not to mention those who are morally sick – one of whom, very far gone, is with Helmer even as we speak. MRS LINDE (distressed). Oh. NORA. Whoever do you mean? RANK. Krogstad, his name is. An ex-lawyer. No one you know. Totally depraved. But even he was prattling on about how he had to live.
After a short pause, he opens the door and looks in, pen in hand. Did you say bought? All those? Has my little songbird been spending all my money again? 31 NORA. Oh Torvald, this year we can let ourselves go a little. It’s the first Christmas we don’t have to scrimp and save. HELMER. That doesn’t mean we’ve money to burn. NORA. Can’t we burn just a little? A tiny little? Now you’re getting such a big pay-packet, pennies and pennies and pennies. HELMER. After January the first. And even then we won’t see the money till the end of the first quarter.

It was the worst time of my whole married life. 43 MRS LINDE. I know how fond you were of him. But then you all went to Italy. NORA. We had the money then, and the doctors insisted. So we went, a month later. MRS LINDE. And your husband recovered? NORA. Oh yes, yes. MRS LINDE. But … the doctor? NORA. Pardon? MRS LINDE. I thought the maid said that was the doctor, that man who arrived at the same time I did.
