quick as she could. Torvald, I am sure you will be able to do
something for Christine, for my sake, won't you?

Helmer. Well, it is not altogether impossible. I presume you are
a widow, Mrs. Linde?

Mrs. Linde. Yes.

Helmer. And have had some experience of book-keeping?

Mrs. Linde. Yes, a fair amount.

Helmer. Ah! well, it's very likely I may be able to find
something for you--

Nora (clapping her hands). What did I tell you? What did I tell
you?

Helmer. You have just come at a fortunate moment, Mrs. Linde.

Mrs. Linde. How am I to thank you?

Helmer. There is no need. (Puts on his coat.) But today you must
excuse me--

Rank. Wait a minute; I will come with you. (Brings his fur coat
from the hall and warms it at the fire.)

Nora. Don't be long away, Torvald dear.
