I'd walk down with you now if it weren't so late." "Well, tomorrow, then?" "Yes, perhaps I might come over tomorrow. Oh, is that you?" This was to Ragnhild, who had come down with a shawl. "Oh, what an idea! did you think I should catch cold?" Altogether things were looking brighter now at Ovrebo; we no longer felt that shadow of uneasiness over us all.

I sauntered home again, yawning and shivering a little in the cool night, and went up to my room. After a while Ragnhild came up, and begged me to keep awake and be ready to help in case of need. It was horrible, she said; they were carrying on like mad things up at the house, walking about from one room to another, half undressed and drunk as well. Was Fruen drunk, too? Yes, she was.

At least, he was a man of good feeling. Trust me? And why should he not? Played out and done with as I was. Suffered to go about and do and be as I pleased, by virtue of my eminent incapacity for harm. Yes, that was it. And, anyhow, there was nothing to see through after all. I went round, upstairs and down, saying good-bye to them all, to Ragnhild and the maids.

The eastern portion of Strathnavern, and particularly the neighbourhood of Loch Coire and Loch Naver, and all the Strathnaver valley were probably insecurely held by members of the Erlend and Moddan family after Harald Ungi's death at the battle of Clairdon in 1198; and Gunni, probably a grandson of Sweyn Asleifarson, who had married Ragnhild, Harald Ungi's youngest sister, after the death in the same battle of Lifolf Baldpate, her first husband, became chief of the Moddan Clan there and in Caithness.

But I heard Fruen saying: 'Oh, what are you doing? No, no, we mustn't! She must have been in his arms then. And then at last she said: 'Wait, then; let me get down a minute. And he let her go. 'Blow out the lamp, she said. And then it was all dark ... oh!..." "But now I was at my wits' end what to do," Ragnhild went on.

And Elisabet put her hands on her hips, and asked the Captain to order her carriage. "Right!" says the Captain at that; "and I'll drive you myself!" All this Ragnhild had heard for herself standing close by. I thought to myself they were jealous, the pair of them she, of this sitting out in the shrubbery, and he, of her letting her hair down and putting out the light.

Ragnvald, and of Eric Stagbrellir and of Earl and Jarl Harald Ungi; and Snaekoll afterwards laid claim to their possessions in Orkney, as the sole male representative of this line. Gunni and Ragnhild must have held the Strathnaver lands, and the Moddan family lands in Caithness, formerly Earl Ottar's estates, till their deaths, and Snaekoll was their sole known male heir.

But I was restless all the time; after a little I took down the lamp from the wall and told Ragnhild to follow me. We went upstairs again. "No; go in and ask Fruen to come out here to me," I said. "Why, whatever for?" "I've a message for her." And Ragnhild knocked at the door and went in. It was only at the last moment I hit on any message to give.

The right to succeed to the share of Paul passed, on his descendant Earl John's death in 1231, to Earl John's only child then alive, the nameless hostage daughter, who, according to our theory, had after 1st August 1214 married Magnus, son of Earl Gilchrist of Angus by his second marriage with either Ingibiorg or Elin, both sisters of Harald Ungi, and both older than Ragnhild.

I had never seen Nils look so miserable before. "If things go wrong again now, it's all over," he said. "I thought to myself last summer that perhaps a good, sound thrashing would do her good. But that was just foolishness, I can see now. Did she talk about running away again?" "She said something about it," answered Ragnhild.
