Helmer.That too?
Nora.That too.
Helmer.Here it is.
Nora.That's right.Now it is all over.I have put the keys here.
The maids know all about everything in the house--better than I do.
Tomorrow,after I have left her,Christine will come here and pack up my own things that I brought with me from home.I will have them sent after me.
Helmer.All over!All over!--Nora,shall you never think of me again?
Nora.I know I shall often think of you,the children,and this house.
Helmer.May I write to you,Nora?
Nora.No--never.You must not do that.
Helmer.But at least let me send you--
Nora.Nothing--nothing--
Helmer.Let me help you if you are in want.
Nora.No.I can receive nothing from a stranger.
Helmer.Nora--can I never be anything more than a stranger to you?
Nora (taking her bag).Ah,Torvald,the most wonderful thing of all would have to happen.
Helmer.Tell me what that would be!
Nora.Both you and I would have to be so changed that--.Oh,Torvald,I don't believe any longer in wonderful things happening.
Helmer.But I will believe in it.Tell me!So changed that--?
Nora.That our life together would be a real wedlock.Goodbye.
(She goes out through the hall.)
Helmer (sinks down on a chair at the door and buries his face in his hands).Nora!Nora!(Looks round,and rises.)Empty.She is gone.(A hope flashes across his mind.)The most wonderful thing of all--?
(The sound of a door shutting is heard from below.)End
