LADY INGER OF ÖSTRAT.
[ACT IV.

But know you so surely that Count Sture is willing——?

Nils Lykke.

Of that he will himself assure you.

Lady Inger.

Himself? And when?

Nils Lykke.

Even now.

Olaf Skaktavl.

How now?

Lady Inger.

What say you?

Nils Lykke.

In one word, Count Sture is in Östråt.

Olaf Skaktavl.

Here?

Nils Lykke.

[To Lady Inger.] You have doubtless heard that another rode through the gate along with me? The Count was my attendant.

Lady Inger.

[Softly.] I am in his power. I have no longer any choice.

[Looks at him and says:

'Tis well, Sir Councillor—you shall have full assurance of my support.
