(Enter Gorm.)

How dare you lag so?His gait is strange. Look, child,

What ails him? Is he drunk? Oh, oh, ’tis Gorm.

I know him by his breathing.

(Icelin leaves Dansberg and goes to Gorm. They whisper together. Dansberg sits trembling.)

Icelin. I know him by his breathing.You’re late.

Gorm. Icelin. I know him by his breathing.You’re late.I have run.

Icelin.We shall be miss’d.

Gorm. Icelin.We shall be miss’d.It is not done?

Icelin. Gorm. Icelin.We shall be miss’d.It is not done?Not done!
