Einar. There was a flock of ducks flying over the hraun, and I wanted to try a shot at them.
Sveinungi (to Ljot). And why did you go with him?
Ljot. I was not with him. Sølvi and I stayed behind.
Sveinungi. Do you sit alone with a stranger in the middle of the night? (To Sølvi.) And you, why are you here at this time? I will not have you go hunting on my land without asking my leave.
Sølvi. I was not hunting on your land.
Sveinungi. But you are picking up stones, and I forbid you to take as much as a single pebble from my land. Now you know that.
Ljot. Why do you say that, father?
Sveinungi. You can go into the tent, Ljot. You have nothing to do here.
Ljot. I have something to say to you.
Sveinungi. What is it? (Ljot is silent. To the Servants.) You can go. To-morrow I shall have a talk with you, Einar, which you will remember.
