Then he turned and gave it to Unna his wife, but before she drank he kissed her on the lips. Now while all men shouted such a welcome that the hall shook, and as Unna, smiling, drank from the cup, the eyes of Asmund fell upon Groa who stood beneath him, and lo! her eyes seemed to flame and her face was hideous as the face of a troll.
And some day, when you've bin so kind as to forgive me, maybe I unna be mother to you, but anything you want me to be. And, maybe, there'll be a a bridal for you yet, my soul, and your little uns running down the batch. 'Yes, maybe. But don't let's talk of such things yet, not for many years. They are so vile. She was cut to the heart, but she only said softly: 'Not for many years, my soul!
When he came there, his mother Saevuna greeted him as one risen from the dead, and hung about his neck. Then he told her all that had come to pass, and she thought it a marvellous story, and sorrowed that Thorgrimur, her husband, was not alive to know it. But Eric mused a while, and spoke. "Mother," he said, "now my uncle Thorod of Greenfell is dead, and his daughter, my cousin Unna, has no home.
Of course I have found them as you did, in my own excretions as I was traveling over ague bogs. DR. P.G. UNNA, of Hamburg, has lately been experimenting on the dermato therapeutic uses of a substance called ichthyol, obtained by Herr Rudolph Schroter by the distillation of bituminous substances and treatment with condensed sulphuric acid.
Eric walked warily till he came to the dell where he had left Skallagrim and the horses. It was the same dell in which Groa had brewed the poison-draught for Asmund the Priest and Unna, Thorod's daughter. "What news, lord?" said Skallagrim. "Thou wast gone so long that I thought of seeking thee. Hast thou seen Gudruda?"
Unna, their widowed friend of forty, was also gathered in, the first of that sad host of victims to Brahmanical cruelty, lust, and avarice, to whom Christianity has ever since offered the only deliverance.
The old peasant smiled ironically and said: "I knew right well that you would buy the horse, Mr. Marx, for you are trying to find one for thirty pistoles for the cavalry lieutenant in Unna, and my little roan fills the bill as if she had been made to order. I went into the house only to fetch the gold-scales, and could see in advance that you would have bethought yourself in the meantime."
Hearken all men. Asmund the Priest is Swanhild's father, and for many a year I have been Asmund's mate. What did I tell thee, lord? that I would see the two of you dead ere Unna should take my place! ay, and on Gudruda the Fair, thy daughter, and Björn thy son, and Eric Brighteyes, Gudruda's love, and many another man on them too shall my curse fall! Tear thy heart out, Asmund!
"Speakest thou truth, fox? If thou liest, this I swear to thee thy tongue shall be dragged from thee by the roots!" "I speak the truth, lady," he answered. But still he spoke not all the truth, for he said nothing of the part which he had played in the deaths of Asmund and Unna. Then he told her of the manner of their end.
"Cease thy evil talk," he said, "or thou shalt be hurled as a witch into Goldfoss pool." "Into Goldfoss pool? yea, there I may lie. I see it! I seem to see this shape of mine rolling where the waters boil fiercest but thine eyes shall never see it! Thy eyes are shut, and shut are the eyes of Unna, for ye have gone before!
