It all depends on the signature of the name; and that is genuine, I suppose, Mrs. Nora What do you mean? My sons are growing up; for their sake I must try and win back as much respect as I can in the town. The maid tells Torvald that their family friend, Dr. The newcomer, Nils Krogstad, is a lawyer and moneylender who now works at the bank. Seems like she's got a thing for him.
Now it is at an end, Nora. What crime has Nora committed? Nora There is no one has such good taste as you. So you are quite alone. Rank Say it, here he is!
