The Crowd.
Sigurd! Sigurd did the deed!
Hiördis.
[Quivering with agitation.] He! he!—Gunnar, is this true?
Gunnar.
[With lofty calm.] It is all true, save only that I am a coward; no coward or dastard am I.
Sigurd.
[Moved.] That art thou not, Gunnar! That hast thou never been! [To the rest.] Away, my men! Away from here!
Dagny.
