Thane moved the leg, experimentally, and winced. "How is it?" "Surface burn and shock," Astrid said. "In a week you can ski on it." "Skiing haven't done that since I was at Earth University." He thought for a moment. "How did you get into it, Garth? Did my message get through to Liaison?" "Oh, yes. We picked up the recording an hour or so after it was recorded.
Thane wasn't sure the rough equipment would do, but it might be close enough. He'd try it. He climbed on to the laboratory table and showed Astrid how to make the connections. "I'm using all the power we have," he said. "I'll be out about 13 minutes, absolute. If they get here before then do everything you can to keep them out till the time's up." Astrid looked down at him lying on the table.
Now, at the time I speak of I was already in the service of King Valdemar; so Astrid thought that the best means of escaping her enemies and of saving her son was that she should come here with Olaf into Holmgard. The boy was then three winters old and full sturdy.
Astrid looked up with a question on her lips but he went on before she could voice it. "Pyuf mentioned that we have some support among the Onzarian priestesshood. Just what do we have?" "There's been general dissatisfaction with Candar all through the religion," she said. Her voice was low, carefully controlled, with an undercurrent of stress.
After Astrid had handed the drinks around, Pyuf downed his. Then he went on. "First of all, Thane, don't get me wrong. Maybe I couldn't pass a security check with some of the boys in the Department of the Outside. Maybe I could, I don't know. I've never tried. But I like the Allied Systems as well as anything the Galaxy has to offer and I want to live there. But let's take a hard look at them."
'I will take you back to Norway if you will wed me. Then Astrid promised him so much, and he bought her and took her to Norway, and wedded her with her kindred's goodwill." Then Olaf said, "This is indeed the gladdest news that I have heard for many a long year!"
It won't be easy and we'll be fighting all the way. But we'll win if we're steady." Thane could see the effort Astrid was making. "I'm ... I'm ready, Roger. Where do we start?" "We'll start with what we have, the underground. And Astrid, the really important jobs may be up to you because I'm going to be out of circulation for a while."
The whine of power momentarily became a shriek and then died down. "That was close," Thane said. "The sooner we stop them the better." He turned to Pyuf. "Drop the screen for two seconds when I signal, to let us out." The bitterly cold wind cut into Astrid and Thane as they hurried outside. Astrid was ahead, leaning against the wind, running towards the outbuilding which housed the jet.
I looked into your eyes and I saw that they were the eyes of Queen Astrid the fairest woman in all the Northland. In your very words I thought I could hear the music of Queen Astrid's voice " "Can it be that my mother is known to you?" cried Olaf eagerly. "Can it be that you can take me to where she lives?" "Well do I know her," answered Sigurd.
Earl Sigvaldi was the son of Strut-Harald, sometime King of Skaney, and at the time of his meeting with Olaf in Wendland he was lord over the great company of vikings who had their stronghold in Jomsburg. He was a very mighty man, and his wealth and personal prowess were such that Burislaf's daughter Astrid encouraged his wooing of her with the result that they were wedded.
