In one thing at least thou art richer than I; thou hast Egil, thy little son.
Hiördis.
Better no child, than one born in shame.
Dagny.
In shame?
Hiördis.
Dost thou forget thy father’s saying? Egil is the son of a leman; that was his word.
Dagny.
A word spoken in wrath—why wilt thou heed it?
Hiördis.
