Count Sture? What of him?
Nils Lykke.
Have they killed him?
Biörn.
[To Elina.] Where is your mother?

[Rushing in from the right.] Lady Inger! Lady Inger!
[Lady Inger Gyldenlöve enters by the furthest back door on the left, with a branch-candlestick, lighted, in her hand, and says quickly:
Lady Inger.
I know all. Down with you to the courtyard! Keep the gate open for our friends, but closed against all others!
[Puts down the candlestick on the table to the left. Biörn and the two Retainers go out again to the right.
Lady Inger.
[To Nils Lykke.] So that was the trap, Sir Councillor!
