But I would speak to you alone." "Tell me," said Ingvar shortly; "came my father to your shores in yon boat alive?" "Aye," I answered. "And he died thereafter?" "He died, Jarl," I said; and I said it sadly. Then said Hubba: "Almost had I a hope that he yet lived, as you live. But it was a poor hope. We have held him as dead for many a long day."
In sum, Borabolla loved Jarl; and Jarl, pleased with this sociable monarch, for all his garrulity, esteemed him the most sensible old gentleman and king he had as yet seen in Mardi. For this reason, perhaps; that his talkativeness favored that silence in listeners, which was my Viking's delight in himself.
"Baxter took my telegram much to heart ... was deeply aggrieved I afterward learned ... the dear boy ... he did 'kill Jarl' finally ... and absent-mindedly brought him to life again, later on in his book." And Harry Varden laughed excitedly like a boy, and he leaned sideways and smote his half-bent, sharp, skinny knee with his left hand.
And then he said, looking from me to the dog, "Now I hold you as a true man, therefore I will tell you this anger not the jarl when he speaks to you." "Thanks, friend!" I answered heartily, "I think I shall not do that. Is he like his father?" The man laughed shortly, only saying: "Is darkness like daylight?" "Then he is not like Jarl Halfden."
He assured him, that it argued but little brains to evince a desire to be thought familiar with all things; that however desirable as incidental attainments, conventionalities, in themselves, were the very least of arbitrary trifles; the knowledge of them, innate with no man. "Moreover Jarl," he added, "in essence, conventionalities are but mimickings, at which monkeys succeed best.
He nodded and reached for a horn of ale, and sat down at the end of the high place, for at the time Bertric and I were talking with Eric's men, and trying to settle matters with them, for we could not let them go back to their master. One was a jarl from the south, and the others men of less note, and they had looked to gather men to Eric hence.
After Jarl Sigurd's death, his son Guthorm ruled for one winter, and died without issue, so that Sigurd's line came to an end. When Jarl Ragnvald of Maeri heard of his nephew's death, he sent his son Hallad over from Norway to Hrossey, as the mainland of Orkney was then called, and King Harald gave him the title of jarl.
I should like to discover the abode of some Northern jarl; it would indeed be a grand retaliation to give them a taste of the sufferings they have inflicted upon us." "That would be good work," Egbert said; "nevertheless I own that at present I am anxious to be at sea again." "Two days will be sufficient to refit," Edmund said, "and then we will spread our wings.
"With you alive," said he, "we shall not have to wake Duke Jarl after all!" The little Duke asked when he would let him have a sword; and the Constable clapped his cheeks and ran back cheerfully at a call from the palisades. But others carried heavy looks, thinking, "Long before his fair promise can come to anything our larders will be empty and our walls gone!"
Then all leapt up, over-turning the council-board, and ran out to the battlements to carry on with what courage was left to them a hopeless contest for one more day. Little Duke Jarl remained like a beating heart in the great empty keep. He ran wildly from room to room, calling in rage and desperation on Old Jarl to return and fight.
