NORA.
Tell me—what shall we two wear at the next?
HELMER.
Little featherbrain!—are you thinking of the next already?
RANK.
We two? Yes, I can tell you. You shall go as a good fairy—
HELMER.
Yes, but what do you suggest as an appropriate costume for that?
RANK.
Let your wife go dressed just as she is in everyday life.
HELMER.
That was really very prettily turned. But can’t you tell us what you will be?
RANK.
Yes, my dear friend, I have quite made up my mind about that.
HELMER.
Well?
RANK.
At the next fancy-dress ball I shall be invisible.
HELMER.
That’s a good joke!
