SERVING-MEN and MAIDENS at SOLHOUG.
The action passes at Solhoug in the Fourteenth Century.
PRONUNCIATION OF NAMES: Gudmund=Goodmund. The g in "Margit" and in "Gesling" is hard, as in "go," or in "Gesling," it may be pronounced as y—"Yesling." The first o in Solhoug ought to have the sound of a very long "oo."
Transcriber's notes:
—Signe and Hegge have umlauts above the e's, the
ultimate e only in Hegge.
—Passages that are in lyric form are not indented
and have the directorial comments to the right of
the character's name.
