STEINDOR. She's mad, I tell you--she's mad. (Takes a few steps and
stops.)
Ingolf pulls the rope up, quickly, and firmly, with caution in
each grasp. Hadda Padda's white and beautiful hand appears above
the edge of the gorge, holding a large, shining knife, which cuts
the rope.
HADDA PADDA (in falling). Ingolf!
INGOLF (is thrown back as the resistance is cut off; he jumps up;
rushes to the edge, crying with horror): Hadda Padda!
He gazes down into the gorge for a moment; his knees give way
under him; he stretches up his arms, uttering a terrible cry of
horror.
Steindor approaches.
Ingolf looks down into the gorge. Listlessly, he lifts the hand
which holds the fragment of rope. His eyes are dim with tears
which do not fall. Through the moisture of the tears, he looks at
the newly cut wound in the rope.
