I caught the shades of this Icelander's character by the way in which he listened to the impassioned flow of words which fell from the Professor. He stood with arms crossed, perfectly unmoved by my uncle's incessant gesticulations. A negative was expressed by a slow movement of the head from left to right, an affirmative by a slight bend, so slight that his long hair scarcely moved.
The young Icelander's hot temper soon brewed trouble. Sickness kept him from going with Thorolf to the house of Björn the Yeoman, whose daughter, Aasgard, he was to marry; but he soon got well and went on a visit to Baard, a steward of the king. As fortune decreed he met there King Erik and Queen Gunhild. Egil was not the man to play the courtier and his hot blood was under little control.

My uncle would simply have quoted the example of Saknussemm. Supposing the learned Icelander's journey ever really to have taken place there was one simple answer to be made: In the sixteenth century neither the barometer nor the manometer had been invented how, then, could Saknussemm have been able to discover when he did reach the centre of the earth?
