And by the light two parties left the village in opposite directions the last farewells were spoken. Into the woods gloomy and desolate, dimly lighted up by the glare, which filled the heavens, along the river, glowing as it reflected the blaze into the woods the two different parties took their way. The one was led by Wilfred, and Leofric as guide, the other by Haga.
Around the table were gathered Hugo himself, his guests Raoul de Broc, Tustain de Wylmcote, Ralph de Bearleigh, his seneschal, chamberlain, and other confidential officers of his household, and four strong brawny men-at-arms sufficient to manage the prisoner with ease. Ordgar, son of Haga, stood alone at the foot of the table, before all this hostile array.
El hombre o la mujer que haga depender su suerte o sus medios de vida de la política tiene que convencerse de que la política no dá para comer pero si para tener hambre. Es perfectamente compatible la política con las ocupaciones y tareas domésticas de la mujer, sea ella madre esposa o hija.
The plot, planned six months before, had been thrice frustrated, by chance or destiny at the diet of Jessen, at Stockholm, and at Haga. The king killed, all his favourites all the instruments of his government must be sacrificed to the vengeance of the senate and the restoration of the aristocracy.

On the 5th of September, Braisted and I took passage for Gottenburg, my friend having already gone home by way of Kiel. We had a smooth sea and an agreeable voyage, and awoke the next morning in Sweden. On the day after our arrival, a fire broke out in the suburb of Haga, which consumed thirteen large houses, and turned more than two hundred poor people out of doors.
He turned to his work and continued to perform his own duty before God and for the help of mankind. This, on that evening, was for him a review upon the interpretation of the word haga in the Domesday Inquest. This kept him up till a quarter past one, and as he had to take a train to Newcastle at eight next morning it is probable that much will be forgiven him when things are cleared.
