Nora: Oh, you wouldn’t understand. Go in to them, I will come in a moment. [MRS. LINDE goes into the dining-room. NORA stands still for a little while, as if to compose herself. Then she looks at her watch.] Five o’clock. Seven hours until midnight; and then four-and-twenty hours until the next midnight. Then the Tarantella will be over. Twenty-four and seven? Thirty-one hours to live. Helmer: [from the doorway on the right] Where's my little skylark?

Nora: [going to him with her arms outstretched] Here she is!
