"It was an ill deed," said Estein. "He was a heathen man then, King Estein but I forget, you know not of Christians." "I have heard of them," said Estein, half to himself.
With the same grim reminiscent pleasure, he went on: "I and two others sent the cloven arrow through the dales, and gathered armed men enough to fill three ships. Ay, the sailing of Thord the Tall, Snaekol Gunnarson, and Thorfin of Skapstead is not forgotten yet in Norway. We went to Laxafiord, for there dwelt Olaf, son of Hakon.
"And you have five brothers to avenge; the sword should not rust long in your scabbard, Estein." "Twice I have made the Danes pay a dear atonement for Eric. I cannot punish Thor because he suffered Harald to drown, but if ever in my life it be my fate to meet Thord the Tall, Snaekol Gunnarson, or Thorfin of Skapstead, there shall be but one man left to tell of our meeting."

He paused for a moment, and then went on in the same strain of high excitement, "Now you know me. I am Thord the Tall, the burner of Olaf Hakonson." "And where are Snaekol Gunnarson and Thorfin of Skapstead?"
