Read the excerpt from act 3 of A Doll's
House.
Krogstad: But, tell me, wasn't it for that very purpose that
you asked me to meet you here?
Mrs. Linde: In my first moment of fright, it was. But
twenty-four hours have elapsed since then, and in that
time I have witnessed incredible things in this house.
Helmer must know all about it. This unhappy secret
must be disclosed; they must have a complete
understanding between them, which is impossible with
all this concealment and falsehood going on.
Krogstad: Very well, if you will take the responsibility. But
there is one thing I can do in any case, and I shall do it at
once.
