Kari. And you were not afraid to tuck up your skirts, where the ground was low and marshy.
Gudfinna. Indeed not! Many a time I had water in my shoes.
Enter Sigrid and Oddny.
Magnus (stretching his feet out on the floor). Pull off my shoes! I'm so tired to-night I can't move.
Sigrid. It must be laziness that ails you, as usual. Kneels down. How in the name of heaven did you manage to get so wet in this dry weather? I can wring the water out of your stockings.
Magnus. Kari wanted to jump the creek to make a short cut, and I fell in.
Oddny (to Kari). Aren't you wet, too?
Kari. No. (Sits down.)
Magnus. Kari skims over everything like a bird.
Kari. Every man has his gift. (To Sigrid.) You should see the rocks Magnus can lift.
