WALKENDORFF.<br />

A miserable hunter was suspected, noble sire!<br />

KING.<br />

What? Suspected? How do you know that?<br />

WALKENDORFF.<br />

They saw him<br />

Sneak it secretly out of the castle.<br />

At Tryggevælde he was later followed<br />

By hunters; they seized him there,<br />

But he had noth<strong>in</strong>g that gave evidence aga<strong>in</strong>st him.<br />

Presumably he had thrown the r<strong>in</strong>g away<br />

From fear of his pursuers, had later wandered<br />

To the place aga<strong>in</strong>, found it, and sold it.<br />

KING.<br />

But wasn't the child stolen with it?<br />

WALKENDORFF.<br />

What? No, Elisabeth is stand<strong>in</strong>g here.<br />

BJØRN (aside).<br />

Now it p<strong>in</strong>ches!<br />

KING.<br />

That seems to me <strong>in</strong>credible.<br />

They have told me that the cha<strong>in</strong> was made of steel,<br />

And was fastened firmly to the child's throat,<br />

That it was not easy to get it loose.<br />
