Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House.


Nora: [going up to HELMER] I have wanted you so much, Torvald dear.


Helmer: Was that the dressmaker?


Nora: No, it was Christine; she is helping me to put my dress in order. You will see I shall look quite smart.


Helmer: Wasn't that a happy thought of mine, now?


Nora: Splendid! But don't you think it is nice of me, too, to do as you wish?


Helmer: Nice?—because you do as your husband wishes? Well, well, you little rogue, I am sure you did not mean it in that way. But I am not going to disturb you; you will want to be trying on your dress, I expect.


Nora: I suppose you are going to work.


Helmer: Yes. [Shows her a bundle of papers.] Look at that. I have just been into the bank. [Turns to go into his room.]


Nora: Torvald.


Helmer: Yes.


Nora: If your little squirrel were to ask you for something very, very prettily—?


Helmer: What then?


Nora: Would you do it?


Helmer: I should like to hear what it is, first.


Nora: Your squirrel would run about and do all her tricks if you would be nice, and do what she wants.


Helmer: Speak plainly.


Nora: Your skylark would chirp about in every room, with her song rising and falling—


Helmer: Well, my skylark does that anyhow.


Nora: I would play the fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, Torvald.
