First of all, as I have said, it forces him to deal chiefly in action with passion for its motive. And this necessity accounts for the preponderance of female characters over male in the large majority of the greatest modern plays. Notice Nora Helmer, Mrs. Alving, Hedda Gabler; notice Magda and Camille; notice Mrs. Tanqueray, Mrs. Ebbsmith, Iris, and Letty, to cite only a few examples.
"I am aware Mr. Helmer was a frequent visitor," said Mary, trying to keep cool for what was to come. This that Sepia told her was true enough, though she was not accurate as to the time of its occurrence. I will relate briefly how it came about.
But our corps had been in many battles during the last three years, and I had never before seen Boyd this way. He said, brooding on his rifle: "The one true passion of my life has been Lana Helmer.
Nor is that all; for they will put you in the witness-box, and make you confess the man an old friend of yours from the same part of the country; whereupon the counsel for the prosecution will not fail to hint that you ought to be standing beside the accused. Believe me, Mary, that, if Mr. Helmer is taken up for this, you will not come out of it clean." "Still you explain nothing," said Mary.

He had a dreary walk back to the public house where he had stabled his horse; but he trudged it cheerfully, brooding with delight on Letty's beauty, and her lovely confidence in Tom Helmer a personage whom he had begun to feel nobody trusted as he deserved.
Here we halted a second time, encamping at our leisure, and despatching, on the evening of the 5th, Adam Helmer and two other scouts to penetrate to the fort and arrange a sortie by the garrison, simultaneous with our attack.
