There will I repent and pray, till the Lord calls me. And when we meet before God, he shall come back to me pure and blameless.

King Skule.

Pure and blameless! [Turning to Peter.] Let me look at you! Ay, your mother’s features and mine; you are he for whom I have longed so sorely.

Peter.

My father, my great, noble father! Let me live and fight for you! Let your cause be mine; and be your cause what it may—I know that I am fighting for the right!

King Skule.

[With a cry of joy.] You trust in me! You trust in me!

Peter.

Immovably!

King Skule.
