Here they come. Oh Gudmund, Gudmund!
[The KING's MESSENGER enters from the back, with his escort.
MESSENGER.
In the King's name I seek you, Gudmund Alfson, and bring you his behests.
GUDMUND.
Be it so. Yet am I guiltless; I swear it by all that is holy!
MESSENGER.
We know it.
GUDMUND.
What say you?
