These two characters are Nora and Krogstad. I think what's happening in this scene is when Krogstad comes to visit Nora about how she forged her father's signature. At the time Nora told her old friend Mrs. Linde that she raised the money for her once sick husband to go away when Mrs. Linde thought Nora burrowed the money from her father.
Krogstad knows how this is a big deal because he once did the some thing back in the day. If Nora doesn't pay up Krogstad will tell her husband about what she did or start blackmailing her. According to Nora its not a big deal. A quote from Act I is " A barrister's life is such an uncertain one- especially when he won't touch any case that isn't absolutely respectable" (page 155)

Information about the author of "A Doll's House"
Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway. In 1862, he was exiled to Italy, where he wrote the tragedy Brand. In 1868, Ibsen moved to Germany, where he wrote one of his most famous works: the play A Doll's House. In 1890, he wrote Hedda Gabler, creating one of theater's most notorious characters. By 1891, Ibsen had returned to Norway a literary hero. He died on May 23, 1906, in Olso, Norway. As a child, Henrik showed little sign of theatrical genius. His father was a successful merchant and his mother painted, played the piano and loved to go the theater. He grew up in the small Norwegian coastal town of Skien as the oldest of five children born to Knud and Marichen Ibsen. At 15, Ibsen stopped school and went to work. Ibsen had long and seemingly marriage with Suzannah Daae Thoresen (www. Biography.com/ henrik ibsen)
I think the title of the play relates to what the play about that it's going to be a little girl who buys a doll's house or receives a doll's house for a gift. But as soon as she gets the doll house there's something about the doll house she loves but everyone knows that there is always a legend behind every toy. Themes and symbols that the plays focus on is T/T and T/W.
