The Boy. May I go home with Kari?
Halla. No, you must stay here and help Arnes. I will go home with Kari myself. (Laughs.) You know I must watch my prisoner. You may bring the horses, the black and the sorrel. Exit the Boy.
Gudfinna. Why all this hurry?
Halla (goes to her). You always had a liking for the little box where my husband kept his money. When we get home, I want you to have that box and all that is in it.
Gudfinna. But you keep your own money there!
Halla. Not all. I meant to buy quite a number of sheep here to-day.
Gudfinna (on her way out). I must be getting old. I don't understand anything any more.
Halla. You need not tell them up at the folds that I am going home.
Gudfinna (taking Halla's hand). God bless you! (Her voice breaks.) Exit.
Arnes (to Arngrim). We had better be off, too.
