Moving on to Scene 29:
Come closer, begs Laura. You'll leave again! accuses Nora, like you always do! When you're grownup, you will understand, Laura promises. Where are you, cries Nora, why can't I see you? Laura encourages her to look into the fire if she loves her--closer. No, I'm afraid, cries Nora. Trust me, says Laura. Come here and take me away, begs Nora. I must do it this way, her mother insists--I didn't want to leave you, that night in Collinwood, I went to your room, saw you there, sleeping, but they wouldn't let me take my children--they had taken them away.Nora promises "mummy", I'll come to you. Come closer, urges Laura, look into the fire, where I'll be smiling--do you see my face now? No, says Nora. Come closer, says Laura, come to me! Finally, Nora spots her mother's face. Laura tells her daughter, come closer. . .[/spoiler]

Look, why don't you let me take you home? Joe asks Bill. Bless your heart, says Bill, I don't need to be taken anywhere--you're thinkin' this is gettin' the better of me, eh? I didn't say that, Joe assures him. You're thinkin' Bill Malloy is takin' the secret drink and you've discovered his vice, says Bill. Of course not, says Joe, but Bill plows on--like Sam Evans, only I must say Sam makes no secret of it, only a secret of WHY. Mr. Evans has been drinking as long as I can remember, says Joe. You're memory doesn't go back very far--no reflection on you, says Bill, it just means that you're too young to remember when Sam Evans was as happy a man you could find in the township of Collinsport.[/spoiler]
