Krogstad.

Or have you any means of raising the money in the next few days?

Nora.

Krogstad.

And if you had, it would not help you now. If you offered me ever so much money down, you should not get back your I.O.U.

Nora.

Krogstad.

Nora.

What if I have?

Krogstad.

If you should think of leaving your husband and children——

Nora.

What if I do?

Krogstad.

Or if you should think of—something worse——

Nora.

How do you know that?

Krogstad.

Put all that out of your head.
