1 As I am now, I am no wife for you.
2 There is some hot coffee for you on the stove.
3 Oh, you know very well I always have time for you.
4 Well, I think that was lucky for you, my dear Nora.
5 These must have been three dreadful days for you, Nora.
6 I have existed merely to perform tricks for you, Torvald.
7 Let me have permission to do for you whatever a man may do.
8 I would play the fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, Torvald.
9 We couldn't wait for you, Nils; your prospects seemed hopeless then.
10 It would have been better for you if you had given up your trip abroad.
11 Alas, Torvald, you are not the man to educate me into being a proper wife for you.
12 I would gladly work night and day for you, Nora--bear sorrow and want for your sake.
13 It gives me great pain, Torvald, for you have always been so kind to me, but I cannot help it.
14 And as for you and me, it must appear as if everything between us were just as before--but naturally only in the eyes of the world.
15 Here is shelter for you; here I will protect you like a hunted dove that I have saved from a hawk's claws; I will bring peace to your poor beating heart.
