That, in the rímur, the men are said to leave the hall in the daytime, instead of at night, is a consequence of the substitution of the wolf for the troll-dragon; a wolf is usually hunted in the daytime. It might be surmised that their going out secretly is in imitation of the story as Saxo knew it. But this is not the case; Saxo does not say that Bjarki and Hjalti went out secretly.

"Not what we give, but what we share; For the gift without the giver is bare." And then the mother's hands rested lovingly a moment upon Tom's head, as again she repeated more softly: "No, certainly." As Widow Barry had surmised, the keynote of Tom's nature was that he was easily led, and therein rested the possibilities of great good or evil.

Brennan was again with us?" The name thus spoken set my heart to instant throbbing, but I sought to answer carelessly. Whatever he may have surmised, it was plainly my duty to hide our secret still. "I was not even aware she had been away." "Oh, yes; she returned North immediately after your last parting, and came back only last week.

One of the workers whispered, "Don't do it He'll only spend it for liquor." He evidently surmised what the worker told me, for he quickly said: "Don't be afraid to trust me.

Not content with having attempted to murder him by means of the knife during the night, the scoundrel was now trying to put an end to him by means of poison; a powerful and very painful poison, too, surmised Frobisher, if he might judge by the burning, biting sensation that tingled on his throat, lips, and tongue.

"Want me to carry it up to the buildings?" "No, I'll do that," said Koswell, and then he winked at his cronies. The tramp went on and the three watched him disappear in the distance. "What did you do that for, Jerry?" asked Flockley with interest. He surmised that something new was afoot. "Oh, I did it for the fun of the thing," answered Koswell coolly.

During the remainder of the afternoon and evening, De Forrest was Lottie's shadow, and she could escape him, and be with Hemstead, only by remaining with all the others.

What actually transpired can only be surmised, yet it seems that Leithcourt was in the habit of going up to that spot and loitering there in the evening in order to meet Chater in secret, as the latter was in hiding in a small hotel in Dumfries. Therefore those who formed the plot must have endeavored to throw suspicion upon Leithcourt.
