Jon. I am sure I could keep on working all day if need be, and just as hard as those who have had their sleep. (Indridi comes for the other chest.)

Sveinungi (laughs). There are not many like you.

Jorunn. Where is Ljot? I thought she was here.

Helgi. I saw her walking in the yard. I have not seen her come back.

Sveinungi (goes to the picket fence; calls). Ljot!

Ljot (is heard answering). Yes!

Sveinungi. Are you there? Aren't you coming home?

Ljot (is heard answering). I am coming.

Jorunn. Have you set the milk?

Rannveig. Yes.
