"By the Hammer of Thor! Thorolf the Strong is well named!" But Ulf was still more pleased; and when all had gone away he stored in a safe place all the bits of the Star which had been broken off to tell the truth, when Thorolf ended little was left of it but bits. From that time on, Ulf spent all his spare time in the smithy.
And through Gudrun's harping on the matter Bolli's mind swelled at all the enmity and guilts that lay at the door of Kjartan, and speedily he donned his weapons, and they grew a band of nine together. There were the five sons of Osvif Ospak, Helgi, Vandrad, Torrad, and Thorolf. Bolli was the sixth and Gudlaug, the son of Osvif's sister, the hopefullest of men, the seventh.
Then the men took up their drinking horns and drank deep to the last drop. But two there were who drank not at all, and they were men of Colonsay. "Why drink ye not with me?" growled the captain, frowning. "Because, Thorolf," said one with flashing eye, "I am but ill-content with the way that Rudri broke his plighted word to us.
"For the matter of that," said Thorolf, "I would willingly extend the truce until the return of Rudri. For there are, if I mistake not, many matters to attend to beyond the burial of the slain. The men of Colonsay, as I hear, have played sad havoc with your homesteads, and it were well that these were put again into decent repair."
I have three marks of silver that you shall have, and I will overlook the offences you have brought on your hands for the shelter given to Thorolf." Thord thought the money fair, and had now a promise of acquittal of the offences for which he had hitherto most dreaded and for which he would have to abide sore loss of money.
Wonderfully well made were many of the trials. One boy showed a bow of two great horns joined together, which only Thorolf the Strong could bend. Another showed an oxhorn, with the tip cut off and ornamented, and the whole horn carved in spiral grooves; and raising it to his lips he blew a blast that could be heard a mile!
