Besides those already mentioned, the two stories have other features in common. It is said of Siward, that when he learned that his son Osbeorn had fallen in battle, he became so angry that he sank his sword into a rock. It is said of Elgfrothi, Bjarki's brother, that he swung his sword against a rock with such force that it sank in to the hilt.
She looked out across the sunlit ocean, grave grey eyes brightening with suppressed mischief. "But I half suspect." "What?" "Oh, all sorts of things, Kemp." "What's one of 'em?" asked Ferrall, looking around at her; but his wife only laughed. "You don't mean she's throwing her flies at Siward now that you've hooked Quarrier for her! I thought she'd played him to the gaff "
"Tell you what we'll do," said Fleetwood, impulsively, turning to Plank: "We'll drive down town, you and I, and we'll look up poor old Siward! Shall we? He's probably all alone in that God-forsaken red brick family tomb! Shall we? How about it, Plank?" O'Hara turned impatiently on his heel with a gesture of adieu, climbed into his electric hansom, and went buzzing away up the avenue.
Plank moved forward on tiptoe, bulky and noiseless; and Siward held out his hand, saying something amiably formal. "Would you like to have me come again?" asked Plank, red with embarrassment, yet so naively that at first Siward found no words to answer him; then "Would you care to come, Mr. Plank?" "Yes." Siward looked at him curiously, almost cautiously.
Now Omund, as I have heard, died most tranquilly, while peace was unbroken, leaving two sons and two daughters. The eldest of these, SIWARD, came to the throne by right of birth, while his brother Budle was still of tender years.
I and my brother are going to Constantinople to join the Varanger guard, and shall not burn Crowland, or let any man burn it." "Shall not let?" "No," said the young man, so quietly, that Hereward was cowed. "I I only meant if they did not do right by me." "Do right thyself," said Siward. Hereward swore awfully, and laid his hand on his sword-hilt.
"Call not traitors, young man," said the Earl, in high disdain, "those who, with all their faults and crimes, have placed thy kinsman on the throne of Canute." "Hush, Rolf," said the Duke, observing the fierce young Norman about to reply hastily. "But methought, though my knowledge of English troubles is but scant, that Siward was the sworn foe to Godwin?"
He had to deal with Sylvia herself, and with Siward reckon with Siward's knowledge of matters which it were best that Sylvia should not know. But first of all, and most important of all, he had to deal with Beverly Plank.
The work of government was done by sterner hands. Throughout his earlier reign, in fact, England lay in the hands of its three Earls, Siward of Northumbria, Leofric of Mercia, and Godwine of Wessex, and it seemed as if the feudal tendency to provincial separation against which Æthelred had struggled was to triumph with the death of Cnut. What hindered this severance was the greed of Godwine.
That's it, is it? All right, sir all right! Very well ver-y well. Now, sir, look at me! Business symptoms admitted, what about the 'partly, Stephen? what about it, eh? What about it?" But Siward fell silent again. "Eh? Did you say something? No? Oh, very well, ver-y well, sir. Perfectly correct, Stephen. You have not earned the right to admit further symptoms.
