PEER
- What is it? Who's there?
THE WOMAN
- Old friends of yours, Peer Gynt! My home is near by.
- We are neighbours.
PEER
- Indeed? That is more than I know.
THE WOMAN
- Even as your hut was builded, mine built itself too.
PEER [going].
- I'm in haste-
THE WOMAN
- Yes, that you are always, my lad;
- but I'll trudge behind you and catch you at last.
PEER
- You're mistaken, good woman!
THE WOMAN
- I was so before;
- I was when you promised such mighty fine things.
PEER
- I promised-? What devil's own nonsense is this?
THE WOMAN
- You've forgotten the night when you drank with my sire?
- You've forgot-?
