Besides I’m not cruel. You love me. That is very nice for you. Being in love is nice. Isn’t it?
Gordon.
Being in love with you would make the world a heaven if only you were kind!
Nora.
I am kind—to myself. Being not in love with you is much kinder to myself than what you ask. You want me to be happy, don’t you?
Gordon.
Of course! I’d die to make you happy!
Nora.
I don’t ask that. I only ask you not to talk of love.
Gordon.
