You think I’ve had no troubles in this weary world.

Mrs. Linden.

My dear Nora, you’ve just told me all your troubles.

Nora.

Pooh—those trifles! [Softly.] I haven’t told you the great thing.

Mrs. Linden.

The great thing? What do you mean?

Nora.

I know you look down upon me, Christina; but you have no right to. You are proud of having worked so hard and so long for your mother.

Mrs. Linden.
