"Our jet is only two-place, and anyway, someone will have to cut off the screen to let the jet out." "You and I can do it," Astrid said to Thane. "I can handle the engines and the defensive screens while you fly it and man the gun." Thane considered quickly. If they succeeded in knocking out the Darzent forces they'd be able to get the others out without difficulty.
He held her clumsily with his left arm, the hand still gripping the blaster, and winced when she pressed against his right shoulder. "We've made it so far, Astrid," he said, "but the biggest job is still ahead. How long can we keep the channels open for a newscast?" Astrid stepped back, puzzled.

As Astrid sat listening to it, she saw Knut's handsome dark head as she used to see it in her young days; she followed him out to the mountain-side, where he blew the March on his herd-boy's horn, she drove to church by his side all his brightness and cleverness lived again for her!

In your case we were lucky. Or I should say that Astrid was quick and intelligent enough to take advantage of a fortunate situation.

When his wounds were healed, Ulf married a fair girl of the Horlingdal district, and went to reside there, but his change of abode did not alter his title. He was always spoken of as Ulf of Romsdal. He and his old enemy Haldor the Fierce speedily became fast friends; and so was it with their wives, Astrid and Herfrida, who also took mightily to each other.
