Go, relieve me of the trouble, and see that it is done well. I would rest now."
She was the mother of Gunnar and Högni and their half-brother Guttorm. And she and the King had one daughter whose name was Gudrun. Now Grimhild was one of the wisest of women, and she knew when she looked upon him that Sigurd was the world's greatest warrior. She would have him belong to the Nibelungs, not only by the oaths of brotherhood he had sworn with Gunnar and Högni, but by other ties.
"`I do, nephew, says Guttorm. `What then? "`My advice is, says the nephew, `that you should order the men to make each a pair of wings like those the birds have, and then we shall all fly over the walls, for it seems to me that there is no other way of getting into the castle.
Then she went to Högni and asked him to slay Sigurd, telling him that the whole of Fafnir's hoard would belong to the Nibelungs if Sigurd were slain. But Högni would not slay him, since Sigurd and he were sworn brothers. There was one who had not sworn brotherhood with Sigurd. He was Guttorm, Gunnar's and Högni's half-brother.

The toast was drunk with right good will by all from Ulf down to the youngest house-carle at the lowest end of the great hall. "And now, Guttorm," continued Ulf, turning to the bluff old warrior, "since thou hast shown thy readiness to rebuke, let us see thy willingness to entertain.
Hake turned on his heel and returned to the boat, while Erling took Guttorm aside. "What has made thee so tired of life that thou shouldest put thy neck under his heel thus readily?"
