Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

A DOLL'S HOUSE
Henrik Ibsen
[SCENE.--A room furnished comfortably and tastefully, but not extravagantly. At the back, a door to the
right leads to the entrance-hall, another to the left leads to Helmer's study. Between the doors stands a piano.
In the middle of the left-hand wall is a door, and beyond it a window. Near the window are a round table,
arm-chairs and a small sofa. In the right-hand wall, at the farther end, another door; and on the same side,
nearer the footlights, a stove, two easy chairs and a rocking-chair; between the stove and the door, a small
table. Engravings on the walls; a cabinet with china and other small objects; a small book-case with wellbound
books. The floors are carpeted, and a fire burns in the stove.
It is winter. A bell rings in the hall; shortly afterwards the door is heard to open. Enter NORA, humming a
tune and in high spirits. She is in outdoor dress and carries a number of parcels; these she lays on the table to
the right. She leaves the outer door open after her, and through it is seen a PORTER who is carrying a
Christmas Tree and a basket, which he gives to the MAID who has opened the door.]
Nora. Hide the Christmas Tree carefully, Helen. Be sure the children do not see it until this evening, when it
is dressed. [To the PORTER, taking out her purse.] How much?
Porter: Sixpence.
Nora. There is a shilling. No, keep the change. [The PORTER thanks her, and goes out. NORA shuts the
door. She is laughing to herself, as she takes off her hat and coat. She takes a packet of macaroons from her
pocket and eats one or two; then goes cautiously to her husband's door and listens.] Yes, he is in. [Still
humming, she goes to the table on the right.]
Helmer [calls out from his room]. Is that my little lark twittering out there?
Nora [busy opening some of the parcels]. Yes, it is!
Helmer. Is it my little squirrel bustling about?
Nora. Yes!
Helmer. When did my squirrel come home?
Nora. Just now. [Puts the bag of macaroons into her pocket and wipes her mouth.] Come in here, Torvald,
and see what I have bought.
Helmer. Don't disturb me. little later, he opens the door and looks into the room, pen in hand.] Bought,
did you say? All these things? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again?
Nora. Yes but, Torvald, this year we really can let ourselves go a little. This is the first Christmas that we
have not needed to economise.
Helmer. Still, you know, we can't spend money recklessly.
