Now I am able to answer you with a frank "yes," for I know my own will--and I can do so without asking father first, for I am free. Oh, I am free! (Olof: And do you know what is in store for you?) I know! You will not have to shatter my mocking dreams--they are already gone. But you may be sure that I, too, have been dreaming of a knight who was to lay a kingdom at my feet and talk to me of flowers and love--Olof, I want to be your wife! Here is my hand! But this much I must tell you: that you never have been the knight of my dreams, and that I thank God he never came. For then he had also gone--as a dream.
