Why, say you? Am not I ten times the richer man? And certain I am that he would have sought you for his wife, had you not been the mistress of Solhoug. (MARGIT: Say you so?) I could take my oath upon it. Bengt Gauteson has two sharp eyes in his head. But he may still have Signe. (MARGIT: And you think he will--?) Take her? Aye, since he cannot have you. But had you been free,--then-- Ha, ha, ha! Gudmund is like the rest. He envies me my wife. That is why I set such store by you, Margit. Here with the goblet again. And let it be full to the brim!
