One for me, and one for thee And one for Sister Sallie. "Can you come out and play?" asked Brighteyes. "Indeed I can," replied the little squirrel. "Shall I bring my doll?" "Yes, but I haven't any," answered the little guinea pig girl, as Sallie brought out the corncob doll, that her brothers and Grandma Lightfoot had made for her.
"What wilt thou give me, lord, if I bring thee victory?" "I will give thee two hundred in silver." "Ask no questions and it shall be so," said Groa. Now Eric was without, taking note of the ground in the ring, and presently Groa called to her the thrall Koll the Half-witted, whom she had sent to Swinefell. "See," she said, "yonder by the wall stand the wrestling shoes of Eric Brighteyes.
Now the heart of the old viking went out to Eric, and he took great delight in him and in his strength and deeds, and he longed much that the Gods had given him such a son. "I prophesy this of thee, Brighteyes," he cried: "that it shall go ill with this Baresark thou seekest yes, and with all men who come within sweep of that great sword of thine.
And when one stole upon him sleeping, thinking so to cut it before he woke, and come at the wound, suddenly he sat up and dealt the man such a buffet on the head that he went near to death from it. Then Skallagrim spoke. "On this matter," he said, "it seems that Brighteyes is mad.
Here they turned the horses loose to feed, and, going forward on foot, reached the dark and narrow pass that Brighteyes had trod when he sought for the Baresark foe. Skallagrim led the way along it, then came Eric and the rest. One by one they stepped on to the giddy point of rock, and, catching at the birch-bush, entered the hole.
She was just going to walk back to shore when she happened to hear a funny noise, and, lo! and behold, at either end of the plank bridge there was a funny brown, furry creature, about as big as a small dog. They stood up on their hind legs, one at one end of the plank and one at the other, and when they saw Brighteyes looking at them the larger creature cried out: "Ha! Ha! Now we have you!
"I am angry with thee, Brighteyes," said Edmund, "yet it is not in my heart to let thee go without words and gifts of farewell. This only I ask of thee now, that, if things go not well with thee there, out in Iceland, thou wilt come back to me." "I will that I promise thee, King," said Eric, "for I shall never find a better lord." "Nor I a braver servant," said the King.
Well, they hurried on for quite a distance further, and all at once, just as they were getting tired, and when they knew the fox had stopped chasing them, they happened to look down on the path, and what should they see but a white box; yes, indeed, a white box, tied with pink string. "Oh, I wonder what can be in there?" asked Brighteyes. "I don't know, but I'll go see," said Buddy.
But now, what do you like best about the seashore, Buddy?" "Going in bathing," he answered. "You can do that right here at home," said his mamma. "I will get out your bathing suits, and you and Brighteyes can go swimming in the pond back of our house."
The women went also to their shut bed at the end of the hall, leaving Brighteyes and Gudruda alone. Eric looked at her. "Where do I sleep to-night?" he asked. "Thou sleepest with me, husband," she answered soft, "for nothing, except Death, shall come between us any more." Now Skallagrim went to the store-room, and sat down with his back against a cask.
