LADY INGER OF ÖSTRAT.
[ACT II.

Lady Inger.

You know not his name?

Olaf Skaktavl.

Peter Kanzler refused to tell it me. He would say no more than that I should find him at Östråt the third evening after Martinmas——

Lady Inger.

Ay; even to-night.

Olaf Skaktavl.

He was to bring letters with him; and from them, and from you, I was to learn who he is.

Lady Inger.

Then let me lead you to your chamber. You have need of rest and refreshment. You shall soon have speech with the stranger.

Olaf Skaktavl.

Well, be it as you will.

[Both go out to the left.

[After a short pause, Finn enters cautiously by the door on the right, looks round the room, and peeps into the Banquet Hall; he then goes back to the door, and makes a sign to some one outside. Immediately after, enter Councillor Nils Lykke and the Swedish Commander, Jens Bielke.
