[Approaching.] Right friendly is Sigurd’s rede, but if thou wilt indeed fight thine own battle with all thy might, I can counsel thee better. Dream not of atonement so long as Hiördis has aught to say; but revenge can be thine if thou wilt hearken to me.
Örnulf.
Revenge? What dost thou counsel?
Sigurd.
Evil, I can well see!
Dagny.
[To Örnulf.] Oh, do not hear him!
Kåre.
Hiördis has declared me an outlaw; she will set snares for my life; do thou swear to see me scatheless, and this night will I burn Gunnar’s hall and all within it. Is that to thy mind?
