HELMER. Oh, you think and talk like a heedless child.
NORA. Maybe. But you neither think nor talk like the man I could bind myself to. As soon as your fear was over -and it was not fear for what threatened me, but for what might happen to you--when the whole thing was past, as far as you were concerned it was exactly as if nothing at all had happened. Exactly as before, I was your little skylark, your doll, which you would in future treat with doubly gentle care, because it was so brittle and fragile.
