I am an old man.
I want to see you well provided for.

I will not live in people's talk as a fool just for this matter.

I only wish your own good; you should understand this, Marit.

Soon I will be gone, and then you will be left alone.

What would have become of your mother if it had not been for me?
Listen, Marit; be sensible, pay heed to what I have to say.
