Mrs. Linden.
[Lets her sewing fall into her lap.] Why, my darling Nora, how do you come to know such things?
Nora.
[Moving about the room.] Oh, when one has three children, one sometimes has visits from women who are half—half doctors—and they talk of one thing and another.
Mrs. Linden.
[Goes on sewing; a short pause.] Does Doctor Rank come here every day?
Nora.
Every day of his life. He has been Torvald’s most intimate friend from boyhood, and he’s a good friend of mine too. Doctor Rank is quite one of the family.
Mrs. Linden.
But tell me—is he quite sincere? I mean, isn’t he rather given to flattering people?
