"Wouldst thou indeed have done this justice to the name of Torquil?" said Ulrica, for we may now lay aside her assumed name of Urfried; "thou art then the true Saxon report speaks thee! for even within these accursed walls, where, as thou well sayest, guilt shrouds itself in inscrutable mystery, even there has the name of Cedric been sounded--and I, wretched and degraded, have rejoiced to think that there yet breathed an avenger of our unhappy nation.--I also have had my hours of vengeance--I have fomented the quarrels of our foes, and heated drunken revelry into murderous broil--I have seen their blood flow--I have heard their dying groans!--Look on me, Cedric--are there not still left on this foul and faded face some traces of the features of Torquil?"
- Valóban ezt is megtetted volna a Torquil név becsületéért? - kiáltott fel Ulrika, akit most már fölösleges felvett nevén, az Urfried néven emlegetnünk. - Akkor csakugyan olyan igazi szász vagy, amilyennek híresztelnek. Lám, még itt is, e kastély átkozott falai közt, ahol kifürkész­he­tetlen sötétségben bujkál a bűn, tisztán ragyog Cedric neve.
