_Rannveig._
I have told Ljot. [_Goes in._
_Helgi._
Here, give me a hand! (_Indridi lifts the sack to Helgi's back; Helgi carries it out to the left._)
_Jon (coiling the last ropes)._
We can start carrying the lumber into the shed.
_Enter Ljot from the house._
_Slvi._
Good day to you, Ljot!
_Ljot._
Good day! You wished to see me?
_Slvi._
You won't be angry with me?-- I thought perhaps you would like this.
(_Takes the skin of a duck from his knapsack._) I shot it on the creek the other day, and I thought it was so pretty that I took off the skin and dried it. Do you think you could make use of it-- say for a riding-cap?
_Ljot._
It is beautiful.
_Slvi._
When you hold the wing this way the spot is blue, and when you hold it so it is green; it's the way the light falls.
_Ljot._
I doubt if I dare take it. I scarcely know you.
_Slvi._
You would make me very happy if you would take it.
_Ljot._
Then I will, and thank you. (_Gives him her hand._) How lovely it is!
_Slvi (lowering his voice)._
Do you never go for a walk by yourself in the _hraun_?
_Ljot._
Why do you ask?
_Slvi._
You know the pretty spot by the old roan tree; it is not more than a good ten minutes' walk from here. I thought perhaps you might go there sometimes on Sundays.
_Ljot (blushes)._
I don't know--
_Slvi._
I shall be there all day Sunday. Good-bye, Ljot.
_Ljot (confused)._
Good-bye.
_Slvi._
I shall be there at sunrise, and I shall be there when the sun goes down. [_Exit to the left._
_Enter Sveinungi, hurriedly._
_Sveinungi._
Who was it that went just now?
_Indridi._
Is he gone? It was Slvi.
_Sveinungi._
What did he want here?
_Indridi._
He got a cup of milk.
_Sveinungi (to Ljot)._
It seemed to me he was talking to you. What have you there?
