Question

❤ HI I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND 25 POINTS ❤

Read the excerpt from act 3 of A Doll’s House.

Helmer: Do you know, you ought to embroider.

Mrs. Linde: Really? Why?

Helmer: Yes, it's far more becoming. Let me show you. You hold the embroidery thus in your left hand, and use the needle with the right—like this—with a long, easy sweep. Do you see?

Mrs. Linde: Yes, perhaps—

Helmer: But in the case of knitting—that can never be anything but ungraceful; look here—the arms close together, the knitting-needles going up and down—it has a sort of Chinese effect—. That was really excellent champagne they gave us.

Mrs. Linde: Well,—goodnight, Nora, and don't be self-willed any more.

Helmer: That's right, Mrs. Linde.

Mrs. Linde. Goodnight, Mr. Helmer.

Helmer [accompanying her to the door]: Goodnight, goodnight. I hope you will get home all right. I should be very happy to—but you haven't any great distance to go. Goodnight, goodnight. [She goes out; he shuts the door after her, and comes in again.] Ah!—at last we have got rid of her. She is a frightful bore, that woman.
