SOLVEIG
- For shame!
PEER
- Do you know where I was last night?-
- Like a horse-fly the Dovre-King's daughter is after me.
SOLVEIG
- Then it was well that the bells were set ringing.
PEER
- Peer Gynt's not the lad they can lure astray.-
- What do you say?
HELGA [crying].
- Oh, she's running away!
- [Running after her.]
- Wait!
PEER [catches her by the arm].
- Look here, what I have in my pocket!
- A silver button, child! You shall have it,-
- only speak for me!
HELGA
- Let me be; let me go!
PEER
- There you have it.
HELGA
- Let go; there's the basket of food.
PEER
- God pity you if you don't-!
