NILS LYKKE
(til Finn, hvem han ubemærket har kaldt til sig, og med hvem han har hvisket).
Altså, – se at liste dig ud. Lad ingen se dig. En fjerdingvej herfra ligger Svenskerne i baghold. Fortæl befalingsmanden, at grev Sture er død. Den unge mand der må ikke antastes. Sig befalingsmanden det. Sig ham, at junkerens liv er mig tusender værd.
NILS LYKKE
(to FINN, whom he has beckoned to him unobserved, and with whom he has been whispering).
Good--now manage to slip out. Let none see you. The Swedes are in ambush two miles hence. Tell the commander that Count Sture is dead. The young man you see there must not be touched. Tell the commander so. Tell him the boy’s life is worth thousands to me.
