Ellida.
The girls tell me you hope to manage it.
Lyngstrand.
Yes; you see I have a patron in Bergen who provides for me; and he has promised to let me go next year.
Ellida.
How did you come across him?
Lyngstrand.
Oh, it was a great stroke of luck. I once went a voyage in one of his ships.
Ellida.
Did you? Then at that time you wanted to be a sailor?
