At yule came Grettir to a bonder who was called Einar, he was a rich man, and was married and had one daughter of marriageable age, who was called Gyrid; she was a fair woman, and was deemed a right good match; Einar bade Grettir abide with him through Yule, and that proffer he took.
But he could not resist a word or two for himself. He told her of his birth, saying that his father, Thorgar, of Thorgar's Fell, had been a freedman, but had done well since. "It is right you should know these things," he said. Gudrid said that it was nothing to her; but Einar warned her that it might be much to her father.
One of them suggested to the others that perhaps this delay was intentional. The owner of the place probably wanted them to spend the night there; they began to grumble among themselves, and at last they asked: "Where is the master, the host?" "He's ill," said Josephine. Solem returned and said: "Einar hasn't time to come; he's lifting his potatoes." A pause.
It lay far up the firth, Thord said, and the ships could not go so far. But Einar was very brave, and when he had thought for a little while he said: "Well, then, I will take boat and go to Sigurd's mound and see if he ails aught. Will any man come with me, however?" I liked not the errand, as may be supposed, but I could not leave my foster father to go alone. "I will be with you," I said.
"But a man tires of the sea after a time, and I have had plenty of it. I am very well off, you must know. I might set up my house-pillars, and find me a wife." "But you would not do that?" "Ah," said Einar, "but I am sure that I would." She kept her gaze for the tide in the frith, feeling it would be indiscreet to say more.
Then she sat up on Halldis's lap and looked shyly at her, saying, "I am going to ask you something." "Ask, my child." "If it should happen ever that I come home again, and want to see Einar, will you give him this from me? He will know then what to do." Halldis promised. "He is mostly here every year," she said. "But there's no saying how it may find him."
"Leave the reading of such sleeping fancies to wizards and witches, Einar," said King Olaf. "It is not for Christian folk to inquire into the future. We are in God's hands, and He alone can determine what path we shall tread. As to my good friend Sigvaldi, I will hear no word against him."
"Twelve are still left," he answered. In a little while the king repeated his question. "There are now but six," was the answer. And then there came the sound of hurried feet upon the stairs, and Einar Eindridson rushed upon the upper deck, followed by three of his shipmates, and pursued by Earl Erik and a great crowd of clamouring vikings.
Four other observers at Fargo partially corroborated his story, an oculist, Dr. A. D. Cannon, the Cub's pilot, and his passenger, Einar Neilson. They saw a light "moving fast," but did not witness all the maneuvers that Gorman reported. Two CAA employees on the ground saw a light move over the field once. Project Sign investigators rushed to Fargo. They had wired ahead to ground the plane.
I made a great mistake when I left her in your charge precisely to avoid what you have brought upon me. Now she shall come home, where she can be valued at the worth of her name and person. That is what I have to say to you, Orme." With that he had looked Orme straight in the face, and there had been no more to urge. Einar heard it from Orme, but it was Halldis who told Gudrid the news.
