Helmer.

But some time, Nora—some time——?

Nora.

How can I tell? I have no idea what will become of me.

Helmer.

But you are my wife, now and always!

Nora.

Listen, Torvald—when a wife leaves her husband’s house, as I am doing, I have heard that in the eyes of the law he is free from all duties towards her. At any rate, I release you from all duties. You must not feel yourself bound, any more than I shall. There must be perfect freedom on both sides. There, I give you back your ring. Give me mine.

Helmer.

That too?
