Gudfinna. You had better not have too much talk with him. (Hands him the shoes.) There! Now they will last till to-morrow anyway. (Kneels down, pulls out a box, and examines its contents.)
Enter Halla from her chamber.
Halla. It is time for the sheep to be milked.
The Boy. I am going now to drive them home. I was waiting for my shoes.
Halla. Have you seen anything of the cows to-day?
The Boy. No. (To Oddny.) When I get rich I'll give you a cow's tail to tie up your plaits with.
Oddny. Hold your tongue! Exit the Boy.
Halla (smiling). I heard him teasing you a while ago.
Oddny. He's forever pestering me about Kari—as if I cared!
Halla (with a little laugh). Well, Sigrid doesn't take such good care of Magnus's clothes as you of Kari's. Exit.
