 SOLVEIG
 * For shame!

PEER
 * Do you know where I was last night?-
 * Like a horse-fly the Dovre-King's daughter is after me.

SOLVEIG
 * Then it was well that the bells were set ringing.

PEER
 * Peer Gynt's not the lad they can lure astray.-
 * What do you say?

HELGA [crying].
 * Oh, she's running away!
 * [Running after her.]
 * Wait!

PEER [catches her by the arm].
 * Look here, what I have in my pocket!
 * A silver button, child! You shall have it,-
 * only speak for me!

HELGA
 * Let me be; let me go!

PEER
 * There you have it.

HELGA
 * Let go; there's the basket of food.

PEER
 * God pity you if you don't-!
