Do you think it matters to me how soon my death-day comes?" Alwin was still crazy with pain. He snatched the bronze knife from his belt and laid it against Egil's throat. Sigurd's brow darkened, but no one spoke or moved, least of all, Egil; his black eyes looked back unshrinkingly. It was their calmness that brought Alwin to himself.
There is little need to say that a dwarf cursed Eric's sword, to explain how it comes that he has been three times exiled for manslaughter, and driven from Norway to Iceland and from Iceland to Greenland. He quarrelled and slew wherever he settled, because he has a temper like that of the dragon Fafnir." A faint red tinged Egil's dark cheeks.
There was something so peculiar in his voice that they all turned and looked at him. He had suddenly grown very red and uncomfortable. "It seems that anyone can be foreknowing at certain times," he said, trying to smile. "Now my mind tells me that the summons will be for me." "For you!"

There was a mist from the river, and one might think that one saw many things moving therein. And I know not that I saw anything more than mortal though maybe I did until as we went to Cnut's dune, under which Egil's ship lay, and we passed that place where the left wing of our line had been driven back on the marsh.
"Then turn back with me a little way, and I will tell you something worth hearing." He turned obediently and walked beside her, trying to think how to put what he had come to say. "You remember hearing of Egil's father Olaf, who was so ill-tempered that Egil dared not go home and confess that he had become a Christian?
