Come, Come! are you going to bite now? You're as snappish as a wolf.


MAIA.

[Striking him over the hand.] Let me, I tell you? And be quiet!


ULFHEIM.

No, confound me if I will!


MAIA.

Then I will not go another step with you. Do you hear?--not a single
step!


ULFHEIM.

Ho, ho! How can you get away from me, here, on the wild mountain-side?


MAIA.
