 PEER
 * I afraid!

THE LAD
 * You remember what happened at Lunde?
 * [They go off, laughing, to the dancing-green.]

SOLVEIG [in the doorway of the house].
 * Are you not the lad that was wanting to dance?

PEER
 * Of course it was me; don't you know me again?
 * [Takes her hand.]
 * Come, then!

SOLVEIG
 * We mustn't go far, mother said.

PEER
 * Mother said! Mother said! Were you born yesterday?

SOLVEIG
 * Now you're laughing-!

PEER
 * Why sure, you are almost a child.
 * Are you grown up?

SOLVEIG
 * I read with the pastor last spring.

PEER
 * Tell me your name, lass, and then we'll talk easier.
