The last cart-load

They’re driving to Hegstad.

Åse.

[Weeping.]

How glad I’d be

In the black chest myself to be driven away!

Oh, what must a mortal abide and live through!

God help me in mercy; The whole house is bare!

What the Hegstad-churl left now the Bailiff[[60]] has taken.

Not even the clothes on my back have they spared.
