OLAF. You speak wisely.
THORGJERD. Yes, yes; there is many a thing to be learned in here.
OLAF. Too true! I have learned here the best that I know.
THORGJERD. Farewell! I'll take greetings from you to your kinsmen.
OLAF. You mean to go down?
THORGJERD. Such was my purpose. These are merry days down there, I am told. A mighty knight is celebrating his wedding—
OLAF. Then you should have been there last night; now I fear the best part of the fun is past.
THORGJERD. I dare say I'll come in time even yet.
OLAF. Perhaps! But still you should have been there last night; so bright and so warm a festive hall you never have seen before.
THORGJERD. It was well for him who was within.
