The priest said it was certainly a man though unlike other men. "Let us keep silence over it; may be that he means to help you in your difficulties." She stayed there the night. We return now to tell of Gest. Towards midnight he heard a loud noise outside, and very soon there walked a huge troll-wife into the room. She carried a trough in one hand and a rather large cutlass in the other.
But it is a fearful thing to think of, if all this is to come to pass as you say." Gudrun then begged Gest would stay there the day out, and said that he and Osvif would have many wise things to say between them. He answered, "I must ride on now as I have made up my mind.
The foster-brothers had been swimming there during the day, and at this sport the sons of Olaf mostly took the lead. There were many other young men from the other houses swimming too.

Thereupon Olaf appeared in a blaze of light, and Raknar collapsed, with all his men.

In Germany the present practice appears to be single interments, and one inscription only on the stone, and that studiously brief. Eduard Schmidt Geb d. 8 Oct., 1886. Gest d. 10 Jan., 1887. This I copied in the cemetery at Schaffhausen.
Thord Ingunson was amongst the followers of Gest on this journey and came to Laugar in Salingsdale. Gudrun Osvif's daughter rode to the Thing, and Thord Ingunson rode with her.
