Halla. No, that I cannot.
Arnes. Kari has been happy for seven years.
Halla. Are you sure of that?
Arnes. Why should he not be happy? He has a wife and child.
Halla. Was there no one down your way whom you could bring with you up here?
Arnes. Who do you think would become an outlaw for my sake?
Halla. Wouldn't you dare to carry off a woman? I should try my best to be good to her.
Arnes. Do you think Kari would have dared to carry you off against your will?
Halla. Ask him.
Arnes. Why does he not show it, if he cares so much for you? He forgets about helping you with firewood and carrying water, and if the meat is not cooked the way he likes it, he scolds you. One might think you were his servant girl.
