_Oddny._
Who doubts that? (_Silence._) I don't know what ails Kari of late.
Yesterday he flew into a rage when I asked him if he knew of a cure for freckles. I hope Halla has not become such a saint yet that one can't notice her freckles.
_Enter Kari and Magnus._
_Kari and Magnus._
Good evening!
_Gudfinna and Oddny._
Good evening!
_Oddny (rising)._
I am sitting on your bed, I believe.
_Magnus (throws off his cap)._
Oddny, ask Sigrid to come here and pull off my stockings. (_Sits down._) It feels good to sit down. [_Oddny goes reluctantly._
_Kari._
Why is she so grumpy? She is not so cheerful a body as you are. I should like to have known you in your young days. I dare say you knew how to handle a rake.
_Gudfinna (straightening her back)._
You may be sure. On dry ground, two lively fellows had all they could do to make ready for my rake.
_Kari._
And you were not afraid to tuck up your skirts, where the ground was low and marshy.
_Gudfinna._
Indeed not! Many a time I had water in my shoes.
_Enter Sigrid and Oddny._
_Magnus (stretching his feet out on the floor)._
Pull off my shoes! I'm so tired to-night I can't move.
_Sigrid._
It must be laziness that ails you, as usual. (_Kneels down._) How in the name of heaven did you manage to get so wet in this dry weather? I can wring the water out of your stockings.
_Magnus._
Kari wanted to jump the creek to make a short cut, and I fell in.
_Oddny (to Kari)._
Aren't you wet, too?
_Kari._
No. (_Sits down._)
_Magnus._
Kari skims over everything like a bird.
_Kari._
Every man has his gift. (_To Sigrid._) You should see the rocks Magnus can lift.
_Magnus._
Well, it may be true that I am pretty strong, but I should like to see the man who could throw you in an honest _glima_.
_Oddny._
I know one whom Kari couldn't stand against.
_Magnus._
And who is that? (_Sigrid pulls at his stockings._) There! There!
_Oddny._
Bjrn, Halla's brother-in-law.
_Magnus._
I should not be afraid to bet on Kari against him. (_To Sigrid._) Give me the stockings! (_Dries his feet with the stocking legs._)
(_Sigrid pulls out a chest, where she finds dry stockings._)
_Enter Halla._
_Oddny._
I don't think Kari would dare to try a fall with the bailiff.
_Kari._
If you were the prize, I should not dare to!
