Conversation(7)
with Gudrun · weight 7 · ch. 57–65
“Thorgils asked for her son Thorleik to go home with him, and he stayed for the most part at Tongue and learnt law from Thorgils, for he was a man most skilled in law-craft.”
“Thorgils got aware of this, and asked them what was the matter.”
“Thorgils told her all she wished.”
“The next day Thorgils went to talk to Gudrun, and said, "Now the matter stands thus, as you know, Gudrun, that I have brought to an end the journey you bade me undertake, and I must claim that, in a full manly wise, that matter has been turned out of hand; you will also call to mind what you promised me in return, and I think I am now entitled to that prize."”
with Bolli · weight 1 · ch. 60–60
“"We will seek revenge," said Bolli, "now that we brothers have come to so ripe an age that men will be much after us if we do not take the matter in hand."”
with Helgi the Lean · weight 7 · ch. 62–65
“Thorgils' followers bade him follow his own foresight.”
“Thorgils answered, "I was outlawed this summer at the Thing, and I want to seek for myself the help of some such man as is a mighty one of his hands and ways, and I will in return offer my fellowship and service.”
“Then Thorgils asked where he was.”
“This man greeted Thorgils in a familiar manner, and Thorgils asked him his name and family and also whence he had come.”
with Helgi the Lean · weight 3 · ch. 62–63
“He replied, "In that matter, if truth is told, only good can be said of Helgi, for he is the most large-hearted of men, not only in giving harbour to comers, but also in all his high conduct otherwise."”
“"I can do that very well, to show you home," he said, "for you will be welcome to quarters for the night, but you will not see Helgi, for he is not at home."”
“He said his name was Hrapp, and he was from Broadfirth on his mother's side.”
with Bollison · weight 1 · ch. 64–64
“Thorgils said that Thorleik should rule in the matter, for he knew that he was a very far-sighted man.”
with Hrapp · weight 1 · ch. 64–64
“Hrapp rode first, shaking the spear-stick he carried in his hand, and thrusting it forward in front of himself, and saying now was high time to try one's self.”
with Gudrun · weight 6 · ch. 65–65
“She went into the guest-chamber and greeted Thorgils and all the others, and asked for tidings.”
“Gudrun said the journey had been most stirringly carried out, and bade them have her thanks for it.”
“Then Gudrun said, "It is not such a long time since we last talked together that I should have forgotten what we said, and my only aim is to hold to all I agreed to as concerning you.”
“Thorgils said she must remember that, and Gudrun answered, "I think I said that of men within this land I would marry none but you; or have you aught to say against that?"”
