OLAF SKAKTAVL. Then you know of his coming?
LADY INGER. Ay, surely. He sent me a message. That was why
they opened to you as soon as you knocked.
OLAF SKAKTAVL (listens). Hush!--some one is riding along the
road. (Goes to the window.) They are opening the gate.
LADY INGER (looks out). It is a knight and his attendant. They
are dismounting in the courtyard.
OLAF SKAKTAVL. Then it is he. His name?
LADY INGER. You know not his name?
OLAF SKAKTAVL. Peter Kanzler refused to tell it me. He would
only say that I should find him at Ostrat the third evening after
Martinmas----
LADY INGER. Ay; even to-night.
OLAF SKAKTAVL. He was to bring letters with him, and from them,
and from you, I was to learn who he is.
LADY INGER. Then let me lead you to your chamber. You have
need of rest and refreshment. You shall soon have speech with
the stranger.
