198 Appendix. Ossurr; for in that manner your memory may serve you as to what 1 family blow ’ I have dealt you.” Skeggi said : “ Be sure that your biting words will stand thee in no stead, but I deem it well enough that on the spot the revenge be wrought.” Thereupon went ThorSr with them to the place where Ossurr had been buried, and they walked round the cairn. Skeggi then drew his sword, Skofnungr, and said : “ On this spot no one is justified to kill ThorSr but me.” ThorSr drew his sword and said : “You cannot expect, Skeggi, that I shall stand quiet before your blows while I am unbound.” At this moment eighteen men ran at them, all with drawn swords. Thither had come EiSr, Eyjiilfr, and Steingrfmr, the brothers of ThorSr. EiSr asked if ThdrSr were alive. ThorSr said that death was not near him. They all dismounted. EiSr offered his father two conditions to choose between—either to make peace with ThorSr, so that he might ride home to Os, and stay there in quietness, or that he (EiSr) should help his foster-father and fight for him. Skeggi says : “ Long ago should I have killed ThorSr, had I seen an opportunity, if I had not found that you value more, EiSr, having been brought up by ThorSr, than kinship with me.” EiSr said ThorSr was deserving of it all, and that ThorSr had not com- mitted any murders but in self-defence, with the exception of the murder of Ormr, and that was excusable. Skeggi answered : “ It seems most likely that you will have your own way, for I should not fight against you.” After this, Skeggi rides to Miklibaer in the night, walks in with drawn sword to Thorhallr’s bedstead, and bade the housewife to get up, and said that she had too long submitted to this dastard. She did so, but asked that Thorhallr might be spared. He said that this rascal had lived long enough. Thereupon he took him by the hair, dragged him to the bedside, hewed his head off, and said : “ Sooner by a great deal would I sheath Skofnungr in thine than ThorSr’s blood, for in him to lose his life there would be a great loss, but in thee there is none at all, and now I have atoned Skof- nungr for being drawn.” Skeggi rode now away home to Reykir, and was by no means, pleased with his journey. ThorSr and EiSr arrived at Mik- libaer just at the time Skeggi was riding away. Olof told them of the murder of Thorhallr. EiSr said that less than this he could not have expected, for his father had been extremely wroth when they parted. Olof bade them stay there as long as they wished. EiSr said that her offer was generous, and they stayed there for a week and rested their horses. Then they prepared themselves to go away. ThdrSr went to 6lof and said: “ This I beg of you, that you do not marry again within two winters, if you hear I am alive, for you are the woman who would be likely to win my affection.” She answered thus: “This I will promise you, for I do not expect a better offer of marriage than this.” They now ride west to MiS- fjorSr and home to Os. Eyvindr went with Thordr, hut left a man to manage his farm; because he would not leave ThorSr while he was not reconciled as to bis manslaughters. Now the winter passed over, and all was quiet.
