I had altogether forgotten that it was my intention to hate her! I swear to you, Sigurd, I have not thought of the matter these two weeks." "Which causes me to suspect that you have been thinking very hard of something else," Rolf suggested. But Alwin closed his lips and kept his eyes on Editha's approaching figure.
They left the two together and launched the ship on the sea. And when the ship was on the water they fired it, and Brynhild once again lay in the flames. And so Sigurd and Brynhild went together to join Baldur and Nanna in Hela's habitation. Gunnar and Högni came to dread the evil that was in the hoard.
Soon after Sigurd was driven from the country Thorsteinn proposed marriage to Spes; she was quite agreeable, but referred it to her kinsmen. There were family meetings and all agreed that she herself ought to decide. Matters were settled between them; their union was most prosperous and they had plenty of money. Thorsteinn was considered lucky to have got out of his difficulties in such a way.
Once on deck, Sigurd gazed about him perplexedly. He had brought his bunch of pansies with him, and he fingered their soft leaves thoughtfully. Suddenly his eyes flashed. "You are alone here?" he asked abruptly. Fearing to scare his strange guest by the mention of his companions, Errington answered simply "Yes, quite alone just now, Sigurd." Sigurd took a step closer towards him.
"And what lordly business brings you north to the coast? 'Tis long since last we met not since the yuletide feast at Holmgard, two winters back, when we had the horse fight. How fares the Flanders mare that won such glory at that time?" "A sickness killed her," answered Sigurd. "But I have a foal in training that will soon beat any horse in Holmgard; ay, even in Norway.
"If it be that Reas will sell his thrall," said Sigurd, "then I would willingly buy the lad, and take him back with me into Holmgard as an offering to the Queen Allogia." "Think twice ere you act so unkindly towards the queen," said the merchant. "A goodlier gift for Allogia would surely be the jewelled brooch that I showed you yesternight; and you shall have it very cheap.
It gave a soft, musical tinkle as he laid it down and vanished in the throng again. With laughter Jarl Sigurd stooped forward, saying, "The lad was braver when he sent an arrow through my arm than he is to-day," and untied the package. "It is not light, jarls. What! by Thor and Odin, and all the gods of Valhalla! when did man ever see the like?"
"It seems that I must go even to the door, and maybe into the mound," I said, whispering. "Not inside," said Kolgrim, taking hold of my arm. But I had grown bolder with the thought that the hero seemed not angry, and now I had set my heart on winning the sword of which the jarl had told me, and I thought that I dared go even inside the tomb to speak with Sigurd.
At these words Sigurd grew very grave, and he put his hand gently on Olaf's arm, and asked to know what ill had befallen Queen Astrid, and whether she had reached her journey's end. "Alas!" answered Olaf. "You ask me what I cannot tell. Would that I knew her to be still living!
I know a maid, fairest of all, decked with gold, if thou couldst get her. Green roads lead to Giuki's, fate guides the wanderer forward. There a mighty king has a daughter; Sigurd will buy her with a dowry.
