But Siward shook his head with an absent glance at the dog, and motioned the astonished keeper forward. "Line the easiest trail for us," he said; "I think we are already a trifle tired. Twigs will do in short cover; use a hatchet in the big timber. And go slow till we join you."
And the list ended there almost, not quite; for there were two people who had not forgotten Siward: Howard Quarrier and Beverly Plank; and one other, a third, who could not yet forget him if she would but, as yet, she had not tried very desperately. The day that Siward left New York to visit everybody's friend, Mr.
As already stated the introduction of Odin as an old man is a motive that occurs frequently in saga literature. It cannot, therefore, be stated definitely that his appearance in the Siward saga suggested the use of him in the Bjarki story. These circumstances render it highly probable that this is another of the Bjarki story's acquisitions from contact with the Siward saga.
Now you know what I think but you don't know all. Siward, I say to you that if you are man enough to take her, take her! And I say that of the two risks she is running to-day, the chance she might take with you is infinitely the lesser risk. For with you, if you continue slowly losing your fight, the mental suffering only will be hers.
I've a hazy but dreadful notion that there's something wrong about me, Mr. Siward." He scrutinised the pretty features, anxiously; "I can't see it," he said. "But I mean it almost seriously. I don't want to be so aloof, but I don't like to touch other people.
He reddened faintly, "I slipped. It's only a twisted ankle." For a moment or two the answer satisfied Fleetwood, then a sudden, curious flash of suspicion came into his eyes; he glanced sharply at Siward, who lowered his eyes, while the red tint in his hollow cheeks deepened. Neither spoke for a while. Plank sipped the tea which Wands, the second man, brought.
Siward obeyed the summons and was enlisted in the service of the king, who promised him the first position of honor to become vacant in the kingdom. On this visit to the king, he slew Tosti in order to avenge an imagined insult and demanded and received Tosti's earldom of Huntingdon, which had thus become vacant.
"I have heard of him." "He that we slew was Siward, a monk." "More shame to you." "He that we took was Azer the Hardy, a monk of Nicole Licole," the Normans could never say Lincoln. "And the rest were Thurstan the Younger; Leofric the Deacon, Hereward's minstrel; and Boter, the traitor monk of St. Edmund's." "And if I catch them," quoth William, "I will make an abbot of every one of them."
For Plank had formed opinions upon a great many subjects; and whatever culture he possessed was from sheer desire for self-cultivation. "You know, Siward," he was accustomed to say with a smile, "you inherit what I am qualifying myself to transmit." "It will be all one in a thousand years," was Siward's usual rejoinder.
You are so cruelly literal when you wish to punish me. You are interrupting me, too. Siward turned and continued his writing. And when the little sheaf of cheques was ready he counted them, laid them aside, and, drawing a flat packet of fresh bank-notes from his portfolio, counted out the tips expected of him below stairs.
