Krogstad [at the door]. It is I, Mrs Helmer. [Mrs LINDE starts, trembles, and turns to the window.]
Nora [takes a step towards him, and speaks in a strained, low voice]. You? What is it? What do you want to see my husband about?
Krogstad. Bank business--in a way. I have a small post in the Bank, and I hear your husband is to be our chief now--
Nora. Then it is--
Krogstad. Nothing but dry business matters, Mrs Helmer; absolutely nothing else.
Nora. Be so good as to go into the study, then. [She bows indifferently to him and shuts the door into the hall; then comes back and makes up the fire in the stove.]
Mrs Linde. Nora--who was that man?
Nora. A lawyer, of the name of Krogstad.
Mrs Linde. Then it really was he.
Nora. Do you know the man?
Mrs Linde. I used to--many years ago. At one time he was a solicitor's clerk in our town.
Nora. Yes, he was.
Mrs Linde. He is greatly altered.
Nora. He made a very unhappy marriage.
Mrs Linde. He is a widower now, isn't he?
Nora. With several children. There now, it is burning up. [Shuts the door of the stove and moves the rocking-chair aside.]
Mrs Linde. They say he carries on various kinds of business.
