Now, before he had made up his mind to say any more, Godwine was ready to hear about the winning back of the sword, and of the fights in Ulfkytel's land, and then a man came from the ships with some business, and he went away with him. And by that time Relf had somewhat to say. "Penhurst is a lonesome place, and it will be worse for my wife when Sexberga is gone," he said musingly.
Then was a murmur of assent to this strange manner of justice of Earl Ulfkytel's, and I, who feared not the sea, was glad; but Beorn would have fallen on the ground, but for his guards, and almost had he confessed, as I think. "Eat and drink well," said Ulfkytel, "for maybe it is long before you see food again." "Where shall you set them afloat?" asked a thane.
"What do men say?" I asked then. "That the matter is like to puzzle the earl himself, so that it is hard for a plain man to unriddle. But I think that half Reedham are here to see justice done you; even if it is naught but Earl Ulfkytel's justice!" And he grinned. I knew why. For Ulfkytel was ever a just man, though severe, and his justice was a word with us, though in a strange way enough.
I saw him ride to Ulf the jarl, and I saw Ulf turn his shoulder on him, and then he sought Rink, and that chief spoke but a word to him, so that he tried not to reach Cnut, who never looked at him. Then I saw Ulfkytel's men breaking and taking to the marshes, where the Danes cared not to follow them.
