Ulfheim.
And the strange lady too?
Professor Rubek.
Yes, of course. [With a glance at Maia.] Henceforth the strange lady and I do not intend our ways to part.
Ulfheim.
Don’t you know, then, that it is a deadly dangerous way you have come?
Professor Rubek.
We thought we would try, nevertheless. For it did not seem particularly hard at first.
Ulfheim.
No, at first nothing seems hard. But presently you may come to a tight place where you can neither get forward nor back. And then you stick fast, Professor! Mountain-fast, as we hunters call it.
