(After a pause.) Gudmund Alfson coming hither! Hither--to Solhoug? No, no, it cannot be.--Signe heard him singing, she said! When I have heard the pine-trees moaning in the forest afar, when I have heard the waterfall thunder and the birds pipe their lure in the tree-tops, it has many a time seemed to me as though, through it all, the sound of Gudmund's songs came blended. And yet he was far from here.--Signe has deceived herself. Gudmund cannot be coming. [BENGT enters hastily from the back. (BENGT: An unlooked-for guest my wife!) What guest? (BENGT: Your kinsman, Gudmund Alfson! Let the best guest-room be prepared--and that forthwith!) Is he, then, already here?
