I asked, for it seemed to me that there was. "There is," he answered. "Alsi is dead." So there was an end of all his schemings, and I will say no more of them. It was Eglaf's thought that it was not so much his hurts that had killed the king, but a broken heart because of this failure. For the second time now I knew that it is true that "old sin makes new shame."
Eglaf came out and made a deep reverence when he saw the earl, knowing at once who he was, and as this was just what the earl had said that he did not like, he looked quaintly at me across Eglaf's broad bent back, so that I had to grin perforce.
Then I stood for a minute to look at the horse, for the grooms had had no orders to take him away; and mindful of Eglaf's word to me, I was going to tell them to do so, and to see it done, when Berthun came hurriedly and called me. "Master Housecarl," he said rather breathlessly, "by the king's order you are to come within the hall and guard the doorway."
Alsi grinned, for Eglaf's saying of him was not so far wrong; but he had more serious business on hand than to talk of these things with a churl. "Now, if I bid you, it is your part to obey. I have a wife for you, and her you shall wed." "There are two words to that, King Alsi. Neither will I wed against my will, nor will I wed one who is unwilling."
