Relations and evidence
Conversation(4)
with Thorliek · weight 3 · ch. 37–37
“Eldgrim said, "My errand here is that I want to buy from you the stud-horses, those valuable ones that Kotkell gave you last summer."”
“Eldgrim said, "I will offer you equally many stud-horses for them and some other things thrown in, and many would say that I offer you twice as much as the horses are worth."”
“Eldgrim said, "I take it to be no lie that you are proud and self-willed, and I should, indeed, like to see you getting a somewhat less handsome price for them than I have now offered you, and that you should have to let the horses go none the less."”
with Thorliek · weight 3 · ch. 37–37
“Thorliek answered, "The horses are not for sale."”
“Thorliek said, "I am no haggler, but these horses you will never have, not even though you offer three times their worth."”
“Thorliek said, "Do as you like, but bring up no odds against me."”
with Hrut Herjolf's son · weight 4 · ch. 37–37
“Eldgrim replied, "I will not hide it from you, though I know what kinship there is between you and Thorliek; but I tell you I have come after these horses, meaning that he shall never have them again.”
“Eldgrim said, "Go and warn Thorliek if you wish, for you may see I have prepared myself in such a manner as that I should like it”
“Eldgrim said, "And do you mean to take the horses away from me?"”
“Eldgrim said, "You speak most kindly, Hrut, but since I have got hold of Thorliek's horses you will not pluck them out of my hands either by bribes or threats."”
with Hrut Herjolf's son · weight 4 · ch. 37–37
“Hrut said, "That is no deed of fame to you to take away the horses while Thorliek lies in his bed and sleeps; you would keep best what you agreed upon if you go and meet himself before you drive the horses out of the countryside."”
“Hrut said, "I think I must seek for something else than to go to Combeness for I am heavy of foot; but I mean not to allow Thorliek to be robbed if I have means thereto, no matter how little love there may go with our kinship."”
“Hrut said, "I will give you other stud-horses if you will let these alone, though they may not be quite so good as these are."”
“Hrut replied, "Then I think you are making for both of us the choice that answers the worst."”
Killing(1)
with Hrut Herjolf's son · weight 1 · ch. 37–37
“Hrut was eighty years old when he killed Eldgrim, and he was considered by that deed to have added much to his fame.”
