“Blir der Helg når en dig ser?” literally, “Does it become a holy-day (or holy-tide) when one sees you?” Footnote 45: A malevolent water-monster. Footnote 46: _Sæter_—a châlet, or small mountain farm, where the cattle are sent to pasture in the summer months. Footnote 47: See note, p. 29. Footnote 48: See Appendix. Footnote 49: Pronounce _Vaal-fyeld_. Footnote 50: Pronounce Broasë. Footnote 51: Kicking the rafters is a much-admired exploit in peasant dancing. See note, page 30. Footnote 52: Literally, “Better than our reputation.” Footnote 53: “Ustyggelig stygt.” “Ustyggelig” seems to be what Mr. Lewis Carroll calls a portmanteau word, compounded of “usigelig” = unspeakable, and “styg” = ugly. The words might be rendered “beyond grimness grim.” Footnote 54: See Introduction and Appendix. Footnote 55: Rendered harmless by magical anointing. Footnote 56: “Atter og fram, det er lige langt;— ud og ind, det er lige trangt!” Footnote 57: “Med lempe,” literally “by gentleness” or “easy-goingness.” “Quiescence” is somewhere near the idea. ----- ACT THIRD.
