midday
A great deal , as it turned out . It started early ; we men were at supper while they were having dinner up at the house , and we could hear them carrying on as gaily as could be . Ragnhild was taking in trays of food and bottles , and waiting at table ; once when she came out , she laughed to herself and said to the other girls : `` I believe Fruen 's drunk herself tonight . '' I had not slept the night before , nor had my midday rest ; I was troubled and nervous after all that had happened the last two days . So , as soon as I had finished my supper , I went out and up to the woods to be alone . I stayed there a long while . I looked down towards the house .
