Appendix. 221 fairer women than thy daughters; or are they not married ? ” “ No,” said he. “ How is that?” said Ufeigr. Gellir said : “ Because wooers have not come forward who were at the same time thoroughly wealthy and well settled, highly connected, and well mannered. Not that I am a wealthy man myself, but I am difficult to please on account of my kin and honours. But why should we not now ask about all things? Who are the men in the northern country sides who are likely to make chieftains ?” “ Good and many men to choose among,” said Ufeigr. “ The first I mention Einarr, the son of Jdmskeggi, and Hallr, the son of Styrmir; and some people will say that my son, Oddr, be not an unlikely man; and talking of him, brings to my mind the words he committed to me, namely, that he would fain ally himself with thee, and would ask for the one of thy daughters who is hight RagnhefSr.” “ Yes,” said Gellir, “ time was when to this a favour- able answer would have been given ; but, as matters now stand, I fear this will have to be delayed.” “ What might the reason be ?” said Ufeigr. Gellir said: “ People think that darkness is drawing round thy son Oddr’s conditions, as affairs now stand.” Ufeigr answered : “ I tell thee truth- fully, that thou wilt never give her better away than now thou hast the chance, for all folk agree that he is as well mannered as any other man; nor is he in want of money, nor any other bliss. But thou art in strait circumstances yourself, and it might come to pass that in him thou shouldst find a great support when need be; for a large-minded man he is towards his friends.” Gellir said : “ This would be looked at if these cases should not happen to be hanging over him.” “ Don’t mention that tomfoolery, in which there is nothing but shame and folly enough to those who have it on hand.” “ Yet it looks more likely to come to a bad than a good end,” said Gellir, “ and I will not say yea to this.” Ufeigr answered : “ May be, Gellir, that ye all of you come by bliss enow in this affair; yet I may be allowed to tell thee what thy share will amount to; for that I know well, and at best, I can tell you, it will come to this, that ye confederates, eight of you together, will get the half of the land of Melr; in which case thy own share will not be a desirable one, with the little amount of money thou gettest at the forfeiture of manliness and chieftainly honour, thou being called the most high-minded man in the country.” Gellir asked how this might be. Ufeigr answered : “ I am minded to think that even now Oddr is out on the main with all his belongings, except the land of Melr. How could you expect him to sit quiet and unready, leaving you to choose of his what you liked, and divide it up between you? No,” said Ufeigr; “ but he let fall the word, that if he should happen to come into BrerSifjorSr, then he would pay a visit to your homestead, and would then choose brides from thy home as it seemed good to him, adding also that he had got with him tinder-boxes enough to set fire to thy home if he chose. He also hinted that, should he come into BorgarfjorSr, he had heard that there was no long distance from the sea up to Borg. Likewise he let fall a hint that, if he came into EyjafjdrSr, he would not miss the home of Jarnskeggi; so
