So nicely had Ragnar probed his sister's heart that he knew almost as much about its true condition as Carl had previously learned.
See, here is Ragnar of Norwich; he is worthy to be king, if any. Here, too, is the Earl of Chester, who led you. It will be well to set these two names before the host." "The host will have none but Havelok and Goldberga," they said. So the long-ago visions came to pass, and in a few days more we were feasting in the old hall at Lincoln.
"O, Ragnar is not to be played with," replied Nanna; "'if you wish to purchase my sister, said he, 'you had better speak to her yourself, she has not authorized me to sell her." "So you have two lovers!" "Yes, and the sexton, an old widower, is the third. He has considerable wealth, and therefore applied to my father, himself." "Without success?" "Yes, father told him I was too young."
Meantime Thorhild, wife of Hunding, King of the Swedes, possessed with a boundless hatred for her stepsons Ragnar and Thorwald, and fain to entangle them in divers perils, at last made them the king's shepherds. But Swanhwid, daughter of Hadding, wished to arrest by woman's wit the ruin of natures so noble; and taking her sisters to serve as retinue, journeyed to Sweden.
They bore me up between the double ranks of stabled kine to where the great fire of turf and wood burned at the head of the hall, and laid me on a table. "Is he dead?" asked Thorvald, my father, who had come home that night; "and if so, how?" "Aye, father," answered Ragnar, "and nobly. He dragged Steinar yonder from under the paws of the great white bear and slew it with his sword."
Unfeeling wretch!" exclaimed she, "is this the manner to speak to a lady, to an injured wife who is obliged to bemoan the infidelity of her husband. O, the villain! I will overpower him with my wrath!" "My turn comes first," interrupted Ragnar. "Ah, ha, I understand. My cup is filled to the brim blood must flow Lonner do you wish to kill my husband, then?" "To fight with him. God forbid.
"O, how thankful I am that you can come out here on the green, dear father." Thus said Magde, as she gave old Mr. Lonner his hat and cane, after Nanna had filled and lighted his pipe. It was a beautiful scene to behold the two sisters thus employed. Ragnar was right. Without waiting for a request, they were apparently striving to outvie each other in performing little services for the old man.
On seeing her, his men began to say that it would be more fitting for their king to have this lovely princess for his wife, instead of a beggar's daughter like Kraka. Ragnar heard this evil counsel, and was so affected by it that he became betrothed to Ingeborg. When he went home he bade his men to say nothing about this betrothal, yet in some way Kraka came to know of it.
They are all quiet yonder," he added, nodding at the vessel of Athalbrand, to which they were still grappled. "Where is Ragnar?" I asked. "Come on board and see," answered the man. A plank was thrust out and I ran across it, fear gripping at my heart. Resting against the mast sat Ragnar, dying. "Good morrow to you, Olaf," he gasped. "I am glad you live, that there may be one left to sit at Aar."
There lay Ella of Aescendune, murdered by a Dane named Ragnar; his two sons, Elfric, who died young, and Alfred, who succeeded to the inheritance. There, as in a shrine, the martyr Bertric reposed, who, like St. The body lay in the great hall, where he had so recently feasted his retainers after the return from Stamford Bridge.
