[ i3 ] not to encreafe the efteem of Hofkuld, who heaped favours on the captive princefs. Soon after this, as Melkorka attended Iorun to bed, and had drawn off her (lockings, llie dropped them on the floor, which enraged Iorun to fuch a degree, that file took up the ftockings and (truck Melkorka about the head with them. This w'as an indignity that Melkorka could not fuftain, in confequence of which (lie (truck her miftrefs with fuch violence at the nofe, as to .provoke blood ; in the moment the prefence of Hofkuld inter- pofed, and put an end to the difpute. After this he deemed it proper to difmifs Melkorka, having af- flgned her a lioufe in the valley of Laxardal, called Melkorka- (tader, which is now deferted. It is pleafantly fituated on the fouth fide of Laxa. Here Melkorka took up her abode; Hofkuld taking care to fupply her with every thing that (he might (tand in need of. Olaf was educated with his mother till he had attained to the years of manhood, and was univerfally allowed, in lhape and perfonal accomplifliments, to excel all his cotemporaries. Hofkuld was old at this time, and began to (hew fomewhat lefs attention to Melkorka as he advanced in years, leaving this to Olaf, whofe duty he faid it was. Olaf acceded to this, and promifed to fulfil that duty; which he did as far as his fituation would permit. Melkorka taking this in dudgeon, as (he did not conceive to have given any offence that might occafion this coolnels, deter- mined with herfelf to do fomething that might avenge the flight. Thorbiorn Skruf, on account of his having fuperintended the domeftic affairs of Melkorka, often paid his addreffes to her, but in vain. D At
