A Dolls House Commintary

            1. Krog: If you had it in your mind to run away from your home-----
             2. Nora: I had.
             3. Krog: Or even something worse.
             4. Nora: How could you know that?
             5. Krog: give up the idea.
             6. Nora: How did you know I had thought of that?
             7. Krog: Most of us think of that at first.
