Gudfinna (rising and muttering to herself). The milk! Exit.

Arnes (holding up a handful). See how big they are.

Halla. Yes, they are fine.

Arnes (patting the bag). And it is well stuffed, too.

Enter the Boy.

The Boy. Now you can milk the sheep.

Halla. You are not through yet, poor boy. You will have to go down along the creek and look for the cows. Exit Oddny.

The Boy. I hope they're not up to new tricks and begin to stay out nights. Exit.

Halla (calling after him). Take a drink of milk in the pantry; the key is in the door. (Magnus rises slowly.)

Arnes. Are you going to buy my bag?
