_Frida._
Now I've turned the horses out on the gra.s.s. (_Wipes her forehead._) Do you want me to pull the bellows for you?
_Einar._
You'd better go in and see if Jorunn should happen to have something for you. Then you can come back here. [_Frida runs in._
_Enter Bjrg and Rannveig from the house._
_Bjrg._
See what the mistress has brought for me! (_Holding up a piece of cloth._) It will be fun to make that into an ap.r.o.n.
_Rannveig._
I got a head-kerchief with red flowers (_holds it up_) and a piece of soap. (_Smells it._)
_Jon._
May I? (_Smells it._) You'll be good to kiss, when you have washed with that soap.
_Rannveig._
Only I won't let you.
_Thora (in the doorway)._
I must show you what I got, too.
_Enter Slvi from the left, carrying a gun over his shoulder and a small knapsack on his back._
_Slvi._
Good day to you!
_The Servants._
Good day!
_Indridi._
We did not see you coming.
_Slvi._
I took the short cut. May I have something to drink? I am thirsty.
_Rannveig._
I'll get it for you.
_Slvi (lowering his voice)._
And may I see Ljot for a moment? I have something for her.
_Rannveig._
I'll tell her. [_Exeunt Girls._
_Indridi._
Have you any news?
_Slvi._
No.
_Indridi._
You are still at Hol?
_Slvi._
Yes.
_Indridi._
Have they begun to cut the hay?
_Slvi._
Not yet.
_Indridi._
They generally start before any of the other farms.
_Slvi._
They need to. They don't keep much help.
_Enter Rannveig with the milk._
_Rannveig._
Here it is, and you are welcome to it.
_Slvi (drinks)._
