Halla. From my lips you shall never hear any other name than Kari. By that name I learned to love you. A man who is not loved has no name. (Takes his hands.)
Kari (in a sudden outburst, drawing her to him and kissing her forehead). God bless you, Halla! (With difficulty mastering his voice.) Now I am going to the fold. (Turns away from Halla.)
Halla (calling). Kari! (Kari turns back.) Must I ask you to marry me a second time? I thought we two were married.
Kari. So we are before God.
Halla. So far as I know, it is the custom that when a man moves from one place to another, he takes his wife with him.
Kari. Do you think there is anything in the world I would rather do than live with you?
Halla. Then ask me if I am willing.
Kari. Will you be my beloved wife and go with me through all suffering?
Halla. I will!
Kari. Will you take upon yourself half of my guilt and become an outcast like me?
