Jon. Then I will go with you. It's easier for two. Sveinungi and Jon disappear from view.
Jorunn. No matter what happens to that man, he will never learn to bend. (Goes to the ruins; looks in.) Can you see anything in there? Is it not too dark?
(Silence.)
Sveinungi and Jon appear, carrying the tall chest.
Sveinungi. Indridi and you, Helgi, come here and take it from us. Set it over there. Sveinungi and Jon disappear again.
Indridi (to Jorunn, as the men carry the chest out into the open). Can we leave it here?
Jorunn. Yes. (She peers into the ruins again.)
Enter Jakobina from the direction of the tent.
Jakobina (goes to Jorunn, lays her hand on Jorunn's shoulder). I must feel that you are indeed safe and sound. (Stroking her arm.) When you went home, I was afraid that you would never come out of that house again. I thought your husband must be struck with blindness.
Jorunn. You don't know where Einar and Ljot have gone?
