MONS. His friends think him better and his enemies worse than anybody else.
OLAVUS. What kind of a bell in the Siljan valley was that you spoke of?
MONS. It's the largest one in all Dalecarlia.
OLAVUS. Have you many bells of that kind?
ANDERS. Of the kind that calls the people to arms we have still a lot.
MONS pokes him warningly.
OLAVUS. I am glad to hear it, and I am sure it will please his Highness still more.—Are the people attending church diligently, Master Stig?
