GUNNAR. I have offered thee terms of peace.
KARE. But that had Hiordis no mind to, and this morning, whilst thou wert gone, she fell upon me and hunts me now to my death.
GUNNAR (angrily). Is it true what thou sayest? Has she——?
KARE. True, every word.
ORNULF. Therefore the peasant besought me to stand by him, and that will I do.
GUNNAR (after a moment's thought). Honourably hast thou dealt with me, Ornulf; therefore is it fit that I should yield to thy will. Hear then, Kare: I am willing to let the slaying of the thrall and the wrongs done toward thee quit each other.
KARE (gives GUNNAR his hand). It is a good offer; I am content.
ORNULF. And he shall have peace for thee and thine?
GUNNAR. Peace shall he have, here and overall.
SIGURD (pointing to the right). See yonder!
