Halla. Now you are getting far too grateful. (To Arnes.) Do you think you have enough food there, Arnes? I can get you some more, if you want it.
Arnes (patting his stomach). I don't even know if I can make room for the porridge.
Kari (looking at Halla). If I were to leave this place, I should miss you more than any other living being I have ever known. (Rises, pushes the box under the bed.)
Halla. I hope you will stay here for many years yet.
Kari. Nobody knows what the morrow may bring. Exit.
(Halla follows Kari with her eyes. Silence.)
Arnes (puts the wooden mug on the table). Now I give thanks for the meal. Will you let me lie in one of your barns to-night?
Halla. You would surely sleep better in a bed. You can lie with Magnus.
Arnes. I never sleep better than in old dry hay.
Enter Gudfinna.
