NORA: Hide the Christmas Tree carefully, Helen. Be sure the children do not see it until this evening, when it is dressed.(To the PORTER, taking out her purse.)How much?
PORTER: Sixpence.
NORA: There is a shilling. No, keep the change.(The PORTER thanks her, and goes out. NORA shuts the door. She is laughing to herself, as she takes off her hat and coat. She takes a packet of macaroons from her pocket and eats one or two; then goes cautiously to her husband's door and listens.)Yes, he is in.(Still humming, she goes to the table on the right.)
HELMER:(calls out from his room). Is that my little lark twittering out there?
NORA:(busy opening some of the parcels). Yes, it is!
HELMER: Is it my little squirrel bustling about?
NORA: Yes!
HELMER: When did my squirrel come home?
NORA: Just now.(Puts the bag of macaroons into her pocket and wipes her mouth.)Come in here, Torvald, and see what I have bought.
HELMER: Don’t disturb me.(A little later, he opens the door and looks into the room, pen in hand.)Bought, did you say? All these things? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again?
