Nora: Nurse, I want you to tell me something I have often wondered about--how could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?

Nurse: I was obliged to, if I wanted to be little Nora's Nurse.

Nora: Yes, but how could you be willing to do it?

Nurse: What, when I was going to get such a good place by it? A poor girl who has got into trouble should be glad to. Besides, that wicked man didn't do a single thing for me.

Nora: But I suppose your daughter has quite forgotten you.

–A Doll’s House,
Henrik Ibsen
