After a long silence Blanid is heard to rise and go slowly to the door.
Blanid
Ohey! Ohey!
The Voice, outside. Ohohey!
With a laugh of abandonment Blanid is heard to run into the night; there is a brief silence; then one far-off, long shriek is heard from her.
The Voice.
Ohey! Ohohey!
In the cottage Thorgerd is heard to fall heavily to the floor.
The curtain descends on silence and darkness.
