ACT FOURTH

The Banquet Hall, as before, but without the supper-table.

Biörn, the majordomo, enters carrying a lighted branch-candlestick, and lighting in Lady Inger and Olaf Skaktavl by the second door on the left. Lady Inger has a bundle of papers in her hand.

Lady Inger.

[To Biörn.] And you are sure my daughter had speech with the knight, here in the hall?

Biörn.

[Putting down the branch-candlestick on the table on the left.] Sure as may be. I met her even as she stepped into the passage.

Lady Inger.
