Driven out by the smoke and heat, Skule stepped from the gate, holding his shield above his head and saying: "Strike me not in the face; for it is not right to treat warriors thus." In a minute more he lay dead, slain by Birchleg swords. The next act in King Haakon's reign was to have himself crowned king, and thus to rid himself of the blot on his claim to the throne.
King Skule And does it not sometimes befall that such a barren woman will slay another's child, because she herself has none? Jatgeir Ay, ay; but in that she does unwisely. King Skule Unwisely? Jatgeir Ay, for she gives the gift of sorrow to her whose child she slays. King Skule Think you the gift of sorrow is a great good? Jatgeir Yes, lord.
After some days had passed, and Gram and Skule had not returned, the King ordered a search to be made for them, and that very evening some sailors brought back their boat, which had drifted into the open sea. Their bodies, of course, were not to be found, and the King ordered a splendid funeral feast to be prepared to do them honour.
But all that Skule and his fellow-plotters could do proved of no avail, for Inga passed through the ordeal unhurt and triumphantly proved, in the legal system of that day, the justice of her cause. How red-hot iron was prevented from burning is a matter which we cannot discuss, and can only say that this ordeal was common and many are said to have gone through it unscathed.
They have no standards for judging a school and seldom visit one. The selection known as the "Deestrict Skule" illustrates fairly well the ability of the old-time school board to pass judgment upon the professional merits of the teacher.
She blushed and gave her attention to the poem. It was entitled: "Woman," and ran; "Woman she dont need no tooter, be she skule mam or biscut shooter. she has most curyus ways about her, which leads a man to kinda dout her. Though lookin at her is shure a pleasur there aint no way to get her measure i reckon she had man on the run a long while before the world begun.
He shaded his keen old blue eyes, and looked away across the water. His face kindled. "There be a skule comin', and by my sawl 'tis mackerel they be drivin'." I watched eagerly, and saw the dark line rise and fall in the trough of the sea, and, away behind, the stir and rush of tumbling porpoises as they chased their prey.
He never got ower't, for it got oot aboot, an' the very bairns at the skule began to ca' him the Drookit Dominie. He got a job at the Druckendub skule, an' never lookit Mysie's airt again." "You're grand crackers," said Mysie. "Ye ken a hankie mair than ever happened; but, the man that cheats me ance, shame fa' him; gin he cheat me twice, shame fa' me. That's my wey o' lookin' at things."
King Skule Who gave you the gift of sorrow, Jatgeir? Jatgeir She whom I loved. King Skule She died, then? Jatgeir No, she deceived me. King Skule And then you became a skald? Jatgeir Ay, then I became a skald. Jatgeir Not the gift of doubt; else would you not question so. King Skule What gift do I need? Jatgeir My lord, you are a king.
How dead and empty is all within me and around me. Jatgeir 'Tis with the king's thoughts as with the skald's, I doubt not. They fly highest and grow quickest when there is night and stillness around. King Skule Is it so with the skald's thoughts? Jatgeir Ay, lord: no song is born by daylight; it may be written down in the sunshine, but it makes itself in the silent night.
