'I passed eight men in Markfleet, said he; 'their faces were set this way, and Skamkell was with them. He ever speaks ill of you, and I have heard him tell how you shed tears when Otkell rode over you. 'It does not do to mind words, answered Gunnar; 'but for the warning you have given me you shall henceforth do the work that pleases you. Now go to sleep.
When Gunnar heard what errand they were on, he was very wroth, and after Otkell had read the summons, and departed with his men, he went away to seek Njal. But Njal told him not to trouble, as before the Thing was over he should be held in greater honour than before. Gizur the white rode to the Thing also, and he spoke to Otkell, and asked why he had summoned Gunnar to the Thing.
'Otkell wished to do you honour, replied Skamkell; but Gizur for all answer bade Geir the priest be sent for, and next morning, as soon as he arrived, Gizur told him the story, and after he had finished he said: 'Let Skamkell tell it again, for I misdoubt him greatly.
As long as they lasted, he shared them with his neighbours, but when his barns were empty he called Kolskegg his brother and two of his friends, and they all fared to Kirkby, where dwelt Otkell the son of Skarf. This Otkell owned many flocks and herds and wide pastures, and Gunnar hoped that his barns might yet be full.
'I am here, said Gunnar, 'to offer atonement for the misdeed of my wife and the thrall you sold me, for it was they who caused the fire and stole the cheeses. And, if it pleases you, let the award be fixed by the best of the men round! 'That sounds fairer than it is, Gunnar, put in Skamkell, 'for you are a man of many things, whereas Otkell has few.
