"Knut Huseby's daughter - Gull Cronvall" "You don't seem to succeed much better then the rest of us in pleasing the Huseby wolf" "Sigurd and Oivind, Huseby's sons - Hugo Tranberg and Gosta Cederlund" "Since I've been given a daughter, I'm obliged to protect her, boys" "You are so right, father." "Whoever makes his way here will be saluted by me" "Should we baptize him?" "There you go!" "I think you dampened his burning desire." "Tore Naesset was only a smallholder's son, but was nevertheless reputed ...to be the one who most frequently visited the Huseby farmer's daughter." "Tore Naesset" " Lars Hanson" "Darling, come what may, tomorrow I will speak with your father." "Tomorrow I will follow you to Huseby and propose in Knut's presence." "On Sunday, after Tore had escorted his mother home from church ...he set out to address Huseby, just like he had promised Aslaug." "Tore's mother" " Hilda Castegren" "No, no, my lad, don't even think of such haughtiness." "You, a poor smallholder's son, could never get the daughter at Huseby." "I most certainly can, little Mum." "It's plain to see that these two suit each other well." "Although the girl is a little shy, of course." "Is your father at home?" "You, Knut Huseby, are a wealthy man, and I myself am no church mouse." "You have many children, and I only have this one son." "What if you gave my son your daughter's hand in marriage?" "It seems a fair offer, but in this case my daughter will have to make her own decision." "Go out and find Aslaug, Sigurd." "Father wants a word with you, Aslaug, and he won't be pleased to know ...that you stand here wasting time with the smallholder boy from Nesset, ...when a bloke like Ola Thormundsen has come to propose to you." "It so happens that Aslaug and I have loved each other for a long time." "I have come here to ask for her hand." "If I can't have Tore, I will not spend another happy day in this world" "As yet, there is no tradition here on Huseby for farmers' daughters ...to share the marriage bed with smallholders' sons." "Nevertheless, that day is likely to arrive." "The end of Act 1" "A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL Act 2" "A few days later." "Aslaug brought the cattle to the summer pasture." "The next Saturday night." "Only one road led to the Huseby summer farm, and it passed right by the main farm." "Would you believe that boy!" "He seems to be heading for the mountain farm!" "God's peace on the summer farm!" "God's peace to you too." "It's just not right that this smallholder stud should be allowed up at the Huseby summer farm." "Well, if no one else can keep him at bay ...I guess me and my sons should give it a try." "I may still possess some talent in that direction." "Come on, boy, let's have a bout!" "Enough for today, fiddler!" "Come back soon, and I'll give you some more!" "Don't forget your fiddle when you come to our wedding." "A lazybone like you will have to accept whatever comes his way."

"The end of Act 2" "A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL Act 3" "A few days passed." "Since Tore visit to the farm, there had been no news from the valley." "What do you want, my lad?" "How do you do up here, Aslaug?" "You are probably a bit lonely now that Nesset cannot come here anymore?" "Yes, he got what he deserve." "We fixed him up so well last Saturday night, ...that he's probably lost all desire to go courting again at the Huseby mountain farm." "Come next Saturday." "Tore was fit again, although not in such high spirits as he used to be." "If next Saturday you manage to slip past the Huseby wolf and his cubs, the girl will be yours." "In the worst case, I'll get a good beating!" "We're just here to make sure that the smallholder boy from Nesset stays away from the summer farm tonight." "Yes, we would like to join you." "Position yourselves two at every hill." "If he approaches, whistle!" "I bet Ola would love to go to the mountain farm himself tonight." "The two of us as well." "The girl will finally have to give up ...because the engagement will be broken off tonight." "The boys will stand guard down here." "The end of Act 3" "A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL Act 4" "It was on a Saturday evening." "I had been awaiting you." "You promised me to come, but your promise proved untrue." "Where could you find a rose where no rose ever grows?" "Where can true love be found if your sweetheart lets you down?" "God's peace on the mountain farm!" "God's peace to you too!" "That fellow is worth having." "The girl shall be his." "The shimmering summer air hangs over Hardangerfjord." "Against the sky in bluish hue the mighty mountains loom." "The glacier shines, the hillsides are green." "The clime is clad in its finest attire." "And behold!" "Over green, clear waves a bridal procession sails." "The end."
