Ragnor gave him the unhappy letter and he read it with a look of anger and astonishment. "Father," he said, "all this woman writes is true and not true; and of all accusations, these are the worst to defend.
Conall loves his old friend Vedder; if he thought to interfere was right, he would advise Vedder to interfere or he would interfere for him, and my wish was to spare thee the sorrow that comes from women's tongues. I was also sure that if the news was true, it would find thee out if not true, why should Rahal Ragnor sow seeds of suspicion and ill-will? Is Sunna disobedient to thee?"
Beaton, you are naming soldiers. That is against our agreement to drop war talk. About Macrae I know nothing. He is not aware that anyone but Thora Ragnor lives; and I was not in the least attracted by him his black hair and black eyes repelled me I dislike such men." "Will they live in Edinburgh?" "I believe they will live in Kirkwall. Mrs. Ragnor owns a pretty house, which she will give them.
I feel as if I was going into a black cloud. I wish that thy father would come home. He is in trouble. I wonder then what is the matter!" In about an hour they saw Ragnor and the Bishop coming towards the house together. "They are in trouble, Thora, both of them are in trouble." "About Thora they need not to be in trouble. She will do what they advise her to do." "It is not thee." "What then?"
"I thought the women could do that," said Ian. "You do not know what you are talking about. It takes two or three men to lift a net full of fish out of the water, and they are about done up if they manage it. Come in and get your breakfast. If your news be true, there is no saying when Ragnor will get home. He will have some reasoning with his men to do, he cannot spare many of them."
All through these long summer days, Thora was the natural source of interest and the inciting element of all the work and chatter that turned the Ragnor house upside down and inside out; but Thora was naturally shy and quiet, and Sunna naturally expressive and presuming; and it was difficult for their companions to keep Thora and Sunna in their proper places. Every one found it difficult.
Ragnor rose, saying, "Coll, my dear one, Thora and I will now leave thee. I am sure Ian has done as well as he could do and we hope thou wilt judge him kindly." Then the women went upstairs and Ragnor remained silent until Ian said: "I am very anxious, sir." Then Ragnor stood up and slowly answered, "Ian, now is the time to take council of my pillow. What I have to say I will say later.
"No; Thora told me her grandmother Ragnor was buried in its cemetery and that her grave was near the church door and had a white pillar at the head of it. So we walked there." "Well, then?" "I cannot describe to you the savage, lonely grandeur of its situation. It frightened me." "The men and women who chose it were not afraid of it." "Thora says its memory frightened her for years."
Ere I was twenty-four hours old, I had selected thee as the most suitable person to walk me to sleep. I think that was a proof of my perfect intelligence. One thing more, and then I will let thee read. I am going to marry Boris Ragnor, and then the widow Brodie would take charge of thee." She shut the door to these words and Adam heard her laughing all the way to her own room.
Among the most celebrated Sagas of the remaining divisions are the "Sagas of Erik the Wanderer," who went in search of the Island of Immortality; "Frithiof's Saga," made the subject of Tegner's great poem; the Saga of Ragnor Lodbrok, of Dietrich of Bern, and the Volsunga Saga, relating to the ancestors of Sigurd or Siegfried, the hero of the Nibelungen Lied.
