FRIDA [Starts for the door.] Yorul!

[Egil, rolling in her way, gazes at her, and rises, panting; she draws back.]

EGIL Thou art the maid of Yorul.

FRIDA I am his.

EGIL Who hid the wolf—he knows.

FRIDA He knows.

EGIL His maiden! Shalt make a fair revenge.

FRIDA Ah! Save me, Yorul! [She faints.]

EGIL Yorul, a dear revenge! [Lifting her in his arms, he bears her off, left.] A lair! a lair!

[A pause; sunset glows through the window; the outer door is partly opened by Rolf, who calls in.]
