"Ay; then do you ask these friends, and tell them that the sooner they can bring a priest the better shall they be rewarded. I would give much to have Goldberga's mind set at rest." So Mord said that he would go at once; and glad he was to see Withelm sitting with Berthun,
Then was rejoicing over all the land, for a king of the old line was on the throne once more, and his way was full of promise. Now there was one thing that was in the minds of all of us, and that was the winning of Goldberga's kingdom for her; but that was a matter which was not to be thought of yet for a long while.
And that was good hearing for us all, for there was not a man who did not long to be up and doing, though to smite a blow for Havelok should be the last deed that he might do. They made me captain of the courtmen who were Havelok's own, maybe because I had served with Alsi, and Withelm was captain of Goldberga's own guard.
One must be ready with the strong hand if one expects to find justice from such a man; and Havelok had thought it possible that if we came here first we should bring him to reason at once, whereas if we went to Norfolk there would be fighting with all the host of the Lindsey kingdom before long; while if he did fight here we might save Goldberga's land from that trouble, and maybe have fewer to deal with.
They had no knowledge of Goldberga's homecoming, and least of all thought that at the back of the trouble were the wiles of Alsi. It was two years ago that Goldberga had gone, and her wedding had seemed to end her story. Now the men heard and wondered; and it is said that very many left Alsi that night and went home, angry with him for his falsehood.
Then said I, "How was it that she had to throw in her lot with Havelok? He was Alsi's own choice for her." "That is not what we have heard," the spokesman answered. "Now it is best that you go hence, for you have the answer." "This means fighting for Goldberga's rights," said Arngeir, "and I will tell you that Havelok will not be backward in the matter."
