Heire.

The Chamberlain.
Why, my dear Ringdal, what can be the meaning of this?
Heire.
Oh, it's not difficult to guess.
The Chamberlain.
Indeed it is though. This is a most important affair for the district. Come along, Ringdal; we must find the man himself.

Fieldbo.
[Entering by the furthest back garden-door.] Has the Chamberlain gone out?
Heire.
Sh! The sages are deliberating! Great news, Doctor! Lundestad is going to resign.
Fieldbo.
Oh, impossible!
Stensgård.
Can you understand it?
Heire.
Ah, now we may look out for real sport. It's the League of Youth that's beginning to work, Mr. Stensgård. Do you know what you should call your League? I'll tell you some other time.
