Alfred bounded up the next flight of stairs: but, even as he went, his fighting blood got up; he remembered his pistol: he drew it, turned on the upper landing, and levelled the weapon full at Rooke's forehead.

Bolli stood aloof with Footbiter. In this attack both the sons of Osvif and An were wounded, but Kjartan had no wound as yet.

For the first expedient, as was now plain by the approaching footsteps, there was no longer time; from the second I recoiled with indignation.
