Mrs. Linden.

Don’t pretend, Nora. Do you suppose I can’t guess who lent you the twelve hundred dollars?

Nora.

Are you out of your senses? How can you think such a thing? A friend who comes here every day! Why, the position would be unbearable!

Mrs. Linden.

Then it really is not he?

Nora.

No, I assure you. It never for a moment occurred to me——Besides, at that time he had nothing to lend; he came into his property afterwards.

Mrs. Linden.

Well, I believe that was lucky for you, Nora dear.
