I have some words for your ear which are worth a hearing."
"The battle?" she gasped. "I I fight?" Roaring afresh, the Jotun gave her another jubilant toss. "You blustering field-mouse! Showing your teeth already? Who knows? If you meet a blind Englishman without a weapon, you may even kill him. Here," he tumbled her roughly to the ground, "tie up your pin-scratch and then come after me. I must go up yonder to Canute, under the oak tree.
But to get on to the moving part of my adventures Where do you take me now?" "'Tis all right," replied Estein, "I take you to supper and a fire. They come in my story." "Lead on then," said Helgi. "To continue my tale: I walked with much assurance up to the gateway, singing, I remember, the song of Odin and the Jotun to prove the clearness of my head.
Unless the youngling had made a decided change for the worse, what satisfaction could the Jotun expect to get from witnessing their meeting? Before his mind, there rose again the tear-stained boyish face which had bidden him farewell that night at the postern, and his pulses throbbed with a fierce pity. "He took himself from the one person who was dear to him, poor little cub," he murmured.

Thus the male and female sex of the first-born twins is identified. According to the Edda, the order of births on earth was as follows: First, two giants were born from the mother's armpit. Secondly, the dwarfs were created.

Her lips were white as she gasped it, but he knew now that it was no love for the Jotun that moved her, and he answered promptly to her unspoken thought: "No, sweet, for the King's sake, I spared him. Before this, his men have taken him aboard his ship and England is rid of him."
No man nor no god with her; gods or men, she prevails over all! And then those three strokes you struck, look at these three valleys; your three strokes made these!"
