King Skule.

Let the woman and the priest approach.


[Bård goes; King Skule seats himself, musing, on the right; presently there enters a black-robed woman; she wears a long cloak, a hood, and a thick veil, which conceals her face; a priest follows her, and remains standing by the door.


King Skule.

Who are you?

The Woman.

One you have loved.

King Skule.

[Shaking his head.] There lives no one who remembers that I have loved. Who are you, I ask?

The Woman.

One who loves you.

King Skule.

Then are you surely one of the dead.

The Woman.

[Comes close to him and says softly and passionately.] Skule Bårdsson!

King Skule.

[Rises with a cry.] Ingeborg!

Ingeborg.

Do you know me now, Skule?
