FINN [_Eagerly._] Will you lend her to me? CARPENTER [_Pawkily._] Ay, if you are willing to engage My brother too for a trifling wage. I’ll not can manage her alone. FINN [_Impatiently._] Come on! Come on! Call me your brother; He’ll do as well as any other. [_The Carpenter whistles shrilly on his fingers, and the Tracker enters._] CARPENTER You’re wanted for the boat the now; He needs you at the bow. TRACKER [_To Finn._] What is your will? FINN What are you good at? TRACKER I am a good tracker. FINN How good are you at tracking? TRACKER I can track the wild duck over the crests of the nine waves within nine days. FINN Then you are good enough to track The one that considers me, and bring him back. TRACKER That will I blindfold; But I need another to hold The tiller, in case we’re called to the sheets together. Call me that man there, coming across the heather. [_The Gripper is seen approaching over the hillside._] GRIPPER Good day! FINN Good day! What are you good at? GRIPPER I am a good gripper. FINN How good are you? GRIPPER The hold I once get I will not let go until my two arms come from my shoulder, or until my hold comes with me. FINN Then you are good enough to hold until The one that considers me comes with your hold? GRIPPER That will I, sitting still; But as my hand’s apt to grow cold, I’ll need that lassie there to keep my mind Off thinking of it. [_The Climber has suddenly swung herself down by a golden rope at Finn’s side._] FINN [_Astonished._] Why, how did you find Your way down here? [_He takes off his cap politely._] CLIMBER I climbed down. FINN [_Aside._] I don’t see any stair. I wonder if she’s quite all there! CLIMBER [_Answering his thought._] No, just at present I am mostly here. FINN [_Aside._] Her answer isn’t very clear. [_Aloud._] And what are you good at? CLIMBER I am a good climber.
