Jakob—Twelve pence.
(Jeppe wipes his mouth and goes away very much ashamed.)
Magnus—Why did that man leave so suddenly?
Jakob—That is the very person on whom the trick was played.
Magnus—Is it possible? Then I must hurry after him. Hold on, Jeppe! One word more. How is everything getting along in the other world?
Jeppe—Let me go in peace.
Magnus—Why didn't you stay there longer?
Jeppe—Is that any of your business?
Magnus—Ay, tell us something about your journey.
Jeppe—Let me go, I tell you; or I shall do something to you.
