62123Why does she laugh?
62123Why had they come hither?
62123Why may I not say what_ I_ like? 62123 Why should we do that?"
62123You are, I suppose, not afraid of meeting Atle''s sons on the sea?
62123And if not, why should he have this smell in his nostrils?
62123And what did he see?
62123And what shall I do?"
62123And what sort of a coverlet was that which he had over him?
62123And what was he to do now?
62123And where was he?
62123And whose fault was it?
62123And why had they no food with them?
62123And, above all:_ Was_ it the gods''will that he should journey thither?
62123Are you satisfied?"
62123At last he asked:"Why did n''t you run?"
62123At length Leif unwillingly shook these thoughts off, and asked curtly:"We shall sail southward, I suppose, when the wind gets up again?"
62123But What if you came home with me and remained with us for the winter, Cousin Olmod?"
62123But could Leif''s and Ingolf''s lives do it either?
62123But suppose one sank in spite of all?
62123But what now?
62123But what was the use of so attacking him, he would like to know?
62123But why should I become otherwise?
62123Can we not go there?"
62123Could he, then, be lost in a wood and frozen to death?
62123Could his horse get on?
62123Could it possibly be a wooing expedition?
62123Could one be sure they had not imagined that land over there?
62123Could they not even spare a place for a funeral mound for him and his?
62123Could they not ride through the wood?
62123Did Orn not hear when he spoke to him?
62123Did he not know that it was impossible for them to get home that night?
62123Did he not reflect that if a regular snowstorm came on they might easily go astray on the heath?
62123Did he not remember that it was solely due to Ingolf''s presence of mind and powerful grip that the knife had not been buried in him up to the handle?
62123Did he not see that a storm was brewing?
62123Did the vine grow here?
62123Did you expect me to follow your tedious tracks, the whole summer, merely to bring you a greeting from Helga?"
62123Do you remember the vows which were made here in the winter at the feast we gave to Atle''s sons?"
62123Do you think a man keeps fresh by burning salt all his life?
62123Do you think of seeking light on the future from the gods?"
62123Do you think one can plough it out of the ground?
62123Do you think one finds honour in the fields?
62123For how could he live after that?
62123For if he did, how could he think of entering into brotherhood with him?
62123Had Helga ever heard the name of the place or the bird?
62123Had Ingolf really fallen in love dumbly and silently?
62123Had a tragedy happened after all?
62123Had he all the ships with him?
62123Had he become deaf, or perhaps dumb also?
62123Had he clasped them too closely?
62123Had he not been fighting with a dead man?
62123Had it suddenly got fancies in its head?
62123Had the gods, or perhaps the guardian spirits of the country, claimed him as a sacrifice?
62123Have you forgiven me that, Ingolf?"
62123Have you forgotten how kind old Jorun has been to you since you lost your mother, and how many stories she has told us?"
62123Have you never heard of the new land?"
62123Have you not increased your stock?
62123Have you not noticed how the men follow you with their eyes, and are disturbed by your looks?
62123He asked himself whether it were yet any use to ride after Leif?
62123He had not, it was to be hoped, brought an Irish wife home with him?
62123He had probably nothing creditable to report?
62123He said:"They are desert islands; what good is there in them?"
62123He wondered whether Ingolf would be home by now?
62123How could he choose to go on and undertake nothing?
62123How could one get the mind with which to understand him?
62123How did the days pass with her?
62123How do you know that there are not trolls and giants?"
62123How many of his men had fallen?
62123How much had he allowed himself to be cheated?
62123How old are you now?
62123How should Ingolf look his sister, Helga, in the eyes when he came home without Leif?
62123How was he now?
62123How was it, really?
62123How will you act, if it is between your friends on one side and your enemies on the other that you must pronounce judgment?"
62123How would he fare?
62123How_ could_ Ingolf quietly watch helpless men being ill- treated and murdered in honour of the gods?
62123How_ could_ he worship gods whom he believed he could appease by hanging serfs and criminals in their honour?
62123If Hjor- Leif was dead, why was she alive?
62123If he had to depart and find himself a new dwelling, why not seek it in a new country?
62123Is n''t your tongue dry with knowing that there is so much wine close by?
62123Leif, whose temper at the moment was a little off its balance because of the incident with the serf, gave a hard laugh:"How will you go about it?"
62123Must they not have once been young and full of life?
62123Nineteen winters?
62123On which side of the wood was he?
62123Or Thorolf Smor?
62123Or that others had imagined_ them_ and the whole affair?
62123Or would he extricate himself again as he alone could?
62123Perhaps the gods slept by day, or had they possibly flown on adventures to other countries and lands?
62123Shall not God who feeds the birds also feed me?"
62123Should he not ride after Ingolf, try to overtake him, and convince him how much better it was to ride through the wood?
62123Should he turn round and try to find the wood again?
62123Suppose Holmsten should be killed that summer, how would Helga receive the news when she heard it?
62123Suppose he turned off to the left now, and by doing so lost the right direction?
62123Then he asked:"But who is the woman?"
62123There were innumerable"why s?"
62123They had stood thus a long time when Ingolf turned to his brother and said quietly:"What do you think of the land, Leif?"
62123Was Ingolf, then, no wiser?
62123Was Leif lying there?
62123Was Leif with them?
62123Was Leif with them?
62123Was he still asleep and dreaming?
62123Was it a good land-- a land where one could peacefully build and settle, and where his family could flourish in happiness and prosperity?
62123Was it a living man he had seen or a ghost?
62123Was it because she did not look up quickly enough?
62123Was it easy to understand him?
62123Was it not something which he had dreamt?
62123Was it there that his family''s cradle for the future should be?
62123Was it there that the pillars of his high- seat should consecrate the earth for him?
62123Was that not Leif''s dragon?
62123Was the land out there in the west so good that he could justify drawing others by his example from their inheritance and the country of their race?
62123Was the story about the bear only a lie?
62123Was there perhaps something to guide them?
62123Were Thorsten''s thoughts something like his had been when he was a child?
62123Were the gods so much opposed to this journey that they were absolutely determined to prevent it?
62123Were they already there?
62123Were they thinking of concealing themselves among the rocks and islands off the coast and giving Leif a warm reception when he turned home?
62123What could Ingolf and Vifel have to talk about in such a tone?
62123What did it want?
62123What do you advise?"
62123What else should it be?"
62123What had he wanted to go to the wood for?
62123What honour have I from you?
62123What lucky wind was that which blew you here, just when you were most needed?"
62123What sense was there in the forest lying there and barring their way to the valley?
62123What shall I tell you, brother?"
62123What should he do?
62123What sort of a man was he?
62123What sort of a sound was that?
62123What sort of land was it?
62123What was Haersten about?
62123What was it to him?
62123What was it?
62123What was the matter with the beast?
62123What was the matter?
62123What was the obstacle in their way?
62123What was the sense of his alone having to bear inconveniences for them both just because Leif did not choose to be inconvenienced?
62123What was this?
62123What will happen now?"
62123When he got within a bowshot of the ships, his old headman gave the alarm, and asked in a grim voice:"Who goes there?"
62123When would he see Helga again?
62123Where did he go to when he left us?
62123Who could guess that it was so difficult?
62123Who was Gardar Svavarsson?
62123Who was Naddod the Viking?
62123Who was Raven- Floke?
62123Why am I lying here?"
62123Why could not Leif be content with the difficulties he had stirred up for him at Gaulum?
62123Why did not the bear eat Leif?
62123Why further entice him into breaking the promise he had given his father to follow the main roads and to be cautious?
62123Why had Ingolf not roused her at once?
62123Why not hear him to the end, even if he did talk some nonsense between whiles?
62123Why should I tell you about it?
62123Why should Leif be always occasioning difficulties and vexations for him?
62123Why should Leif just now become so senseless, so idiotically happy?
62123Why should he be allowed to transfer all responsibility from himself to him?
62123Why?
62123Why?
62123With a teasing look in his eyes, he stretched his head forward and asked in a whisper:"Say, Ingolf-- did your gods dine on the Yule meat?"
62123Would Ingolf come and see if_ he_, perhaps, could scent out the right direction?
62123Would any one believe you were a free man''s son, and soon full grown?
62123Would it not be better if she went home to bed?
62123Would the forest never come to an end?
62123Would there be a storm?
62123Would they not even grant him to die on land?
4736... Do you see Hrafnhild?
4736A lady- slipper?
4736Ah, Ingolf, are you here?
4736And I should not trust you?
4736And Runa, dear, wo n''t we be the same friendly sisters we have always been?
4736And even if he came-- do you think we have the same life- egg, I and Hrafnhild?
4736And even that did not betray me?
4736And how did it break?
4736And not tell Runa that I lost them?
4736And otherwise you got off alright?
4736And that is?
4736And that is?...
4736And you are still alive?
4736Are n''t my lips blue?...
4736Are n''t we at the ledge yet?
4736Are n''t you coming along with us, Hadda Padda?
4736Are n''t you going to wait for us?
4736Are n''t you tired pulling?
4736Are there only flowers in it?
4736Are you afraid I''m sitting too near the edge?
4736Are you afraid you will lose me?
4736Are you always so contented?
4736Are you both holding the rope?
4736Are you determined to go to- day?
4736Are you going out, Ingolf?
4736Are you going to yield to it?
4736Are you ill?
4736Are you rested?
4736Are you satisfied now?
4736Are you sure they did not fall beyond that lowest rock?
4736Are you teasing me?
4736Are you the one who gets all Hadda Padda''s ships?
4736Are you tired?
4736Are you tying the rope around you?
4736But do you want me to do without both of you at the same time?
4736But now-?
4736But she, she looked at you through a veil of wantonness, so that your imagination might create what it liked behind it--?
4736But what made you wear the pearls?
4736But why has she made the rope so taut?
4736But--?
4736Can that be done?
4736Can you imagine any one better?
4736Could you get any happiness out of life with a man who does not love you?
4736Did n''t it hit?
4736Did n''t she throw it?
4736Did she send you with the spade?
4736Did you find your diamond ring?
4736Did you hold the rope?
4736Did you lie to me, Kristrun?
4736Did you look everywhere possible?
4736Did you look in the holes?
4736Did you search in the pool near the big stone?
4736Did you tell mother we were coming here?
4736Did you think I would stone you?
4736Do n''t you know how she is?
4736Do n''t you know my sweetheart?
4736Do n''t you see the ring on my finger?
4736Do n''t you think I can do without you now?
4736Do you do this half- heartedly?
4736Do you hear her answer?
4736Do you hear the flies buzzing?
4736Do you know my sister?
4736Do you know what attracted me most to you?
4736Do you know what she did yesterday?
4736Do you love me, Ingolf?
4736Do you love me?
4736Do you remember when I gave you all a woman can give?
4736Do you remember?
4736Do you see her?
4736Do you see her?
4736Do you see her?
4736Do you see her?
4736Do you see how it stretches its thousand delicate fingers to the fading light?
4736Do you think I am afraid to go down?
4736Do you think it is something she invented?
4736Do you think so?
4736Do you think you will miss me very much when you are gone?
4736Do you want some?
4736Do you want to see that I love you as much as ever?
4736Does everything leave you cold?
4736Does it butt?
4736Does n''t she know the sun- dew?
4736Each time you give an answer you grant a flower its life.-- Of all things,--what is the softest you have ever felt?
4736Even if you could, would you continue to be tied to a man who does not love you any longer?
4736Even were I to sacrifice all now, what would she gain, since you do n''t care for her?
4736Forget--?
4736Get out of my sight, do you hear?
4736Going away to- morrow?
4736Going away--?
4736Hadda Padda, do you want the ship to have two or three masts?
4736Has kindness never taken revenge?
4736Has n''t every day we have lived together been a renewal of this promise?
4736Has not a sacred hour welded our hearts together?
4736Has she a long way left?
4736Have n''t I confessed my love to you?
4736Have n''t I seen you in each other''s arms?
4736Have n''t you ever heard it?
4736Have you asked any one to search for them?
4736Have you been down already?

4736He does n''t want to be called Goldmane?
4736Her body is relaxed... Should I call to her?
4736How about the yellow ones?
4736How are we going to accommodate all these people?
4736How can you ask?
4736How can you say that, Hadda dear?
4736How did it affect you?
4736How high do you think it is?
4736How long is a rope- length?
4736How many have you made fools of already?
4736I do n''t remember exactly-- it''s quite impossible to enter the gorge from below, is n''t it?
4736I do n''t understand-- what are you driving at?
4736I gave you my word, it is true; but since I no longer care for you, will you still hold me to an old promise that was made when I loved you?
4736I shall let the rope slide over my shoulder-- will you be more at ease then?
4736I think the young lady is very depressed, Shall I show her an herb that can heal many ills?
4736I wonder if Hrafnhild is down in the hollow?
4736INGOLF...?
4736In carrying me?
4736Ingolf, do you value such a character?
4736Ingolf, how could you be so hard?
4736Is Steindor holding the rope?
4736Is it old, the water that flows down the river?
4736Is it quite impossible to talk seriously with you?
4736Is it still turning?
4736Is n''t father here?
4736Is she insane?
4736Is she rested?
4736Is that a fairy- tale?
4736Is that true?
4736Is the rope safe?
4736Is the young lady in low spirits?
4736Is there nothing so sacred to you that you would n''t ridicule it?
4736Is this death perhaps?
4736Lighter?
4736May I close the door and talk to you?
4736May I?
4736Mother, when may we go berry- picking with Hadda Padda?
4736My, but will you really be here three weeks to- morrow?
4736No--?
4736Now I am-- Do you still doubt?
4736Now do you think she said it because she was so sure?
4736Now you have granted the catch- fly its life.--What cast the shade of sorrow in your eyes?
4736Now you have no hands.... Shall I give them to you again?
4736Now?
4736Olof, shall we go?
4736Or, shall we see who is stronger?
4736See that hollow?
4736Shall I stone the raven away from his nest?
4736Shall I tell you?
4736Shall we all go for a walk now?
4736She is looking for me, Runa, dear, may I say a few words to Ingolf?
4736She took back with the left hand what she had given with her right-- was that what attracted you?
4736She waved her hand to you?
4736Skuli dear, will you be a good boy and make me a ship?
4736So that''s how you searched!--Did you look all through the duck- weed, did you fish it out of the pond, to see if the pearls were hidden in it?
4736So you think it will hold?
4736Something mother may not hear?
4736Steindor, will you hold the rope with him?
4736Take Steindor with you, will you?
4736Tell me, Veiga-- haven''t you a life- egg?
4736That..?
4736Then I did succeed in hiding it?
4736Then will the Sheriff give me a sheep again?
4736Then you have been obedient to your fate?
4736Then you have n''t it any more?
4736They are all alive.--Shall I tell you more?
4736Wait for you, yes-- yes, of course-- do you think I would run away from you?
4736We shall find your pearls.--Aren''t you coming with me?
4736Well, I daresay I get most of them.--What makes you think so?
4736Well, are you going to make that ship?
4736Well, what is it?
4736Well, what is it?
4736Well--?
4736Well?
4736Were n''t there moments when I made a greater confession, when one sigh, one glance, told you more than these words?
4736Were you afraid of the stone?
4736Were you really in love with me then?
4736What are you going to do now?
4736What are you going to tell your mother?
4736What are you saying?
4736What are you saying?
4736What are you thinking?
4736What are you waiting for?
4736What could I do?
4736What did you want to ask me?
4736What do you call this flower?
4736What do you know?
4736What do you mean?
4736What do you think she wants with a spade?
4736What do you think the dream means?
4736What do you use the dandelion for?
4736What is she carrying over her shoulder?
4736What is she doing now?
4736What is she doing?
4736What is she doing?
4736What is that?
4736What is the matter with you, Kristrun?
4736What is the matter, Hrafnhild?
4736What is the matter, dear?
4736What is the matter, little Hadda?
4736What is the matter?
4736What made your hand so pretty?
4736What time is it?
4736What was it you were going to tell me before?
4736What would you do if it were?
4736What would you do then?
4736What?
4736When was that?
4736Where does she get that strength from?
4736Where?
4736While I was sitting there, in the arm- chair, waiting for you, I closed my eyes, and do you know what I saw?
4736Who was singing?
4736Why are you so eager to tell me all this?
4736Why are you so frightened?
4736Why are you so silent, Runa, dear?
4736Why did you accept this insincerity for so long?
4736Why did you deceive me?
4736Why did you hide it, Hadda?
4736Why did you hide it, Hadda?
4736Why did you leave home so soon, Ingolf?
4736Why did you want me to untie the rope, if you intend to make her drag you down?
4736Why do n''t you call me by my pretty name any more?
4736Why do n''t you place your feet in the hole, so that you will sit more securely?
4736Why do n''t you take me in your arms?
4736Why do n''t you want her to see?
4736Why do you ask so sadly?
4736Why do you let me suffer, then?
4736Why do you look at me so long?
4736Why does n''t Ingolf come back?
4736Why not...?
4736Why shall the violet die?
4736Why should she?
4736Will you hold the rope while I go down?
4736Will you promise me that?
4736Will you really, Ingolf?
4736Wo n''t you believe, either, that I have made every effort to do it?
4736Wo n''t you try any more?
4736Would that be hard for you, mother?
4736You are silent and you do n''t smile-- is it with joy?
4736You can see her, Steindor?
4736You can-- how?
4736You do n''t know?...
4736You do n''t really intend to go down?
4736You forbid me?...
4736You heal with herbs.... You believe in their power?
4736You look so tired to- day.... Shall we go?
4736You meet Helga, and start for home with her, wo n''t you?
4736You silly boy, do you think you may hold me by my leg?
4736You smile?
4736You think I ca n''t do without you?
4736You think the mountain has n''t stones heavy enough to keep me up?
4736You wo n''t accept our offer?
4736and then I began to throw the crystal ball to Runa, do you know why?
4736was that what attracted you?
4736why should I forget my lover?
43381''Knowest thou not,''asked Grettir,''that I am a treasure- hill wherein most men have groped with little luck?'' 43381 All those riches which Ar has in his hall,"responded Rolf,"are those to be burned or lost?"
43381And couldst thou find no man,asked he,"who is within the law, to do this for thee?"
43381And how,asked Grettir,"didst thou reach that place?
43381And is there something there in those willows on Einar''s land? 43381 And my mother?"
43381And were there not perchance other heathen weapons which are thine, coming ashore in that great storm?
43381And what is the punishment,asked Rolf,"for slaying?"
43381And where is the boat?
43381Art thou minded to try?
43381Asks Grani that?
43381At what lookest thou, man?
43381Aye?
43381But does Rolf agree to it?
43381But if three men were thus drowned,asked Frodi,"what then?"
43381But is harm meant to Hiarandi?
43381But since we can not leave this place by the front door, why not by the rear?
43381But thou hast no enemies, father?
43381But what sang she with you?
43381But what seekest thou with him?
43381But who gave the sword?
43381But why not Snorri the Priest?
43381Canst thou say no better?
43381Canst thou string it?
43381Come ye not inside?
43381Dost thou forget those at home? 43381 Father,"asked Rolf,"knowest thou who the man is that came upon the ship?"
43381Fearest thou, Ondott?
43381Fishes he,asked Einar,"with a hook on that rope?"
43381For that alone earnest thou hither?
43381Grani, Grani,cried Rolf,"has thy pride at last come to its end?
43381Hast thou nothing better to say?
43381Hast thou seen,asked Rolf,"one who goes driving a ewe?"
43381Hearest thou that?
43381Hearest thou that?
43381How camest thou here?
43381How do that?
43381How else shall I win my heritage again?
43381How goes all at Cragness?
43381How is it come,asked Einar,"that thou hast left Hiarandi?"
43381How many,asked Rolf of Frodi,"threwest thou over?"
43381How shall I get thee safe conduct?
43381How should I forget it?
43381How should he,asked the boy,"bring trouble on thee?"
43381How should that be?
43381How was thy sleep there on the crag?
43381How went thy suit at the Althing?
43381I am sorry for the mariners, yet how is one to help?
43381If thou art made outlaw,asked Rolf,"what wilt thou do?"
43381In what dost thou see it?
43381In what has he offended thee?
43381In what?
43381Is Earl Thorfinn,asked Grani,"coming to visit his realm?"
43381Is it not better,asked Einar,"that this matter be settled here quietly, between neighbors, rather than be brought before the judges at the Althing?"
43381Is it not true that in the moment when the slaying is proved unlawful, the guilt of Einar is established, so that no suit at law is needed?
43381Is it thou that comest to our house,asked Ondott,"making this mischief there?"
43381Is there a farm above?
43381Keep that for yourselves,Rolf said,"but will the ewe stay now at home?"
43381Knowest thou not,asked Grettir,"that if one fares abroad the outlawry is for three years, but if one stays it is twenty?
43381Looks not the mark,asked Ondott,"like the mark of Einar?"
43381May I go with thee to the gate?
43381More than that, shall I take money for my father''s slaying?
43381Nay,answered Hiarandi,"how canst thou ask me to fish when so much must be done on the farm?"
43381Nay,cried the Earl,"what request is this?
43381Now tell me,said Ondott,"when ye twain were together in Orkney, did not Rolf offer peace if thou wouldst but get him this homestead again?"
43381Now wilt thou take a smaller weapon?
43381Now, why not make thy lot lighter,asked Ondott,"by taking service elsewhere?"
43381Now,asked Asdis,"dost thou remember the time thou camest ashore, these many years ago?"
43381Now,asked Grani of his father,"hast thou so mocked that luckless man''s fate?"
43381Now,asked Grani,"which is dearest to thee, that bow, or thy freedom and Frodi''s?"
43381Now,asked Hiarandi,"shall I go to Snorri and crave his help?"
43381Now,asked he,"shall such a beautiful weapon be broken for a crone''s rhymes?"
43381Now,cried Helga,"wilt thou mock the death of Hiarandi, and jeer at Rolf, who saved thy life here on the rocks?"
43381Now,cried Kiartan, staring,"what spirit told thee of me?"
43381Now,said Frodi to Rolf,"shall we stay or go?"
43381Now,said Snorri,"what of that bow which, if shooting here at this boundary may cost thee thy life, is mayhap the greater danger to thee of the two?"
43381Of what father and what place?
43381Said I not,asked he,"that I was not able?
43381Sailed ye across the Firth?
43381Saw ye then,asked Hiarandi,"one who stood by the mast, a tall man with a great beard?"
43381Sea- worn cloaks and weapons,said Ar,"are they dear to ye?"
43381Seekest thou me?
43381Seest thou no way here?
43381Shall I freeze?
43381Shall I have done all my seeking for nothing?
43381Shall I leave him with nothing to begin the world with? 43381 Shall I lend thee money,"asked Snorri,"or hast thou enough?"
43381Shall he die by the hands of my men, or what atonement wilt thou take?
43381Shall we go armed?
43381Since when,asked the man,"has Snorri been used to pledge himself to all who come to him?
43381So he is safe past the rocks?
43381So skilled art thou then?
43381Tell me,he begged,"what sort of man is that outlaw Grettir the Strong, and for what is he outlawed?"
43381Then wilt thou ask help of Snorri the Priest? 43381 There is luck in that,"answered Grani,"for how could we feed them?"
43381Thinkest thou that is right?
43381Thou wilt not go in the storm?
43381What ails thee this day?
43381What ails thee?
43381What are those dues?
43381What doest thou here?
43381What dost thou here?
43381What dost thou with that bill,asked Grani,"if thou canst not stand up like a man, and be ready for what comes?"
43381What hath happened to the ram?
43381What is it,asks Grani,"that makes thee weep?"
43381What is it?
43381What is that memory?
43381What is their wealth to thee?
43381What is there to do?
43381What is this?
43381What is to be done?
43381What is wrong with the woman?
43381What of that?
43381What of the freedom of my fellow?
43381What precious thing hast thou there?
43381What sayest thou of saving my life?
43381What should I have done?
43381What was he doing when thou earnest away?
43381What wilt thou do?
43381What wilt thou give them?
43381What,sneered the man,"wilt thou set thyself against me?
43381When was he here?
43381Where didst thou get,asked the Earl,"that short- sword which thou wearest?
43381Where have ye been?
43381Where is Rolf?
43381Where is thy mistress?
43381Where is thy son?
43381Where,asked Asdis,"is the harm which he was to do us?"
43381Where?
43381Wherefore,asked Grani,"ate she not from our ricks, which were nearer?"
43381Who art thou,asked the man,"not to know that all are welcome at Snorri''s house?"
43381Who else?
43381Who gave them to thee?
43381Who is he, then?
43381Who knows how many have owned this sword? 43381 Who sits by the dais?"
43381Who were they?
43381Who will not dare much for his freedom?
43381Why are ye so burned?
43381Why callest thou me that?
43381Why carriest thou the whittle, then,asked Ondott,"if thou art not ready to use it?"
43381Why comest thou hither,he said,"like a small man to chaffer over little things?
43381Why dost thou not go?
43381Why gazest thou,asked Ondott,"so much at the ship?
43381Why is it ye always burn to return-- whether ye love your foggy isle and plain men more, or our realm less?
43381Why laugh ye?
43381Why need we men?
43381Why not forgive?
43381Why sayest thou that?
43381Why should Kiartan,responded Rolf,"flee before the Earl, who hath sold him permission to trade here?
43381Why stay we here in danger?
43381Why, then,asked Hiarandi,"didst thou persuade me to ask a stay of judgment?
43381Will no one here give us welcome?
43381Wilt thou claim kinship with him?
43381Wilt thou come?
43381Wilt thou do it?
43381Wilt thou flee?
43381Wilt thou look upon my weapons?
43381Wilt thou never be silent?
43381Wilt thou not fight?
43381Wilt thou then,asked Frodi,"take up the quarrel of these wretched carles?"
43381Wilt thou wait another year when thou mightest slip away now?
43381Wilt thou?
43381Wishes the strange woman anything here?
43381Yet it was he the woman meant?
43381A man said:"But what wilt thou do with the arrows if thou canst not string the bow?"
43381And Frodi said:"Were it not better to atone Rolf for the death of his father, rather than have bad blood between neighbors?
43381And Kolbein rode to Grani and said:"Keeps thy father his harvest feast this year as before, asking company thereto?"
43381And Snorri cried on high:"Where are ye, men of Tongue and Swinefell?"
43381And of Asdis he asked:"Who slew Hiarandi my father?"
43381And they will dispossess thy son of his heritage; wilt thou suffer that?
43381Ar asked:"Knowest thou not what he will have of thee?"
43381Art thou ready, Frodi, to help me in my feud?"
43381Asdis answered:"And what use then couldst thou be to thy wife and son; and is not the time short enough until the ban leaves thee?
43381Asdis asked:"Who then is he?"
43381Asked Einar:"How comes the end of life now?"
43381Asked Ondott,"Was he not?"
43381Asks she:"Thinkest thou that the ewe broke out those two times, and leaped out the third?"
43381Because he wept, they fell to laughing, and asked him:"Why weepest thou, Whittle- Frodi?"
43381But Frodi came to Rolf, and said:"What is this thou hast suffered those two to do to thy neighbor?
43381But Frodi sprang from his seat, and cried:"What dost thou now, to insult Grani so?
43381But Rolf said to Frodi:"Hast thou forgotten that Grani made thee thrall?"
43381But at last he asked a servant:"Will it be taken well if I enter?"
43381But he asked her before he went away:"Why camest thou here?"
43381But what can I do for thee?"
43381But what thinkest thou of my bow?"
43381But why art thou so quiet under injustice?"
43381But why has not Einar offered me atonement, if any is to be paid?
43381But wilt thou take this offer, that we handsel this case to Snorri the Priest, and abide by his finding?"
43381CHAPTER XII OF THE TRIAL OF SKILL AT TONGUE Snorri asked of Rolf:"Art thou the son of Hiarandi my kinsman?"
43381Can he be pursued by aught?
43381Did Snorri give the money for the priest''s dues, and the court''s?"
43381Dost thou mock me and my power?"
43381Einar asked,"Shall we light the beacon?"
43381Einar said to Ondott,"Why didst thou such foolery?"
43381Einar, Ondott hath made his choice of death and life; what choice makest thou?
43381Flosi asked of Kari:"Thinkest thou the lad can shoot?"
43381For she said to Hiarandi:"What wilt thou do for thy defence at law?
43381Frodi asked of Rolf:"Did he know us?"
43381Frodi asked:"War with the Scots is expected in the spring?"
43381Frodi drew a long breath, but he asked further:"If two vikings were drowned, what of that?"
43381Frodi said to Rolf:"What dost thou think, and why look''st thou so at the cliffs above us?"
43381Frodi said to him:"Was then Grani fostered by the Earl?"
43381Frodi, what can we do?"
43381Grani asked:"What are my thralls saying?"
43381Grani asked:"What man will go out against Vemund?"
43381Grani cried:"Why dost thou not try the climb?"
43381Grani only said,"Why should I not call thee so?"
43381Grettir cried:"Has no money been paid for thine outlawry?"
43381Hast thou forgotten he is of thy kin?"
43381He took the ring, giving the men silver, and said to them as before:"Will the ewe stay now at home?"
43381Helga asked:"Why dost thou conceal thy thoughts?"
43381Here they have come again with designs on thee, and wilt thou let them go?
43381Hiarandi said:"Saw ye upon the ship, as it lay below us, the faces of any of the men?"
43381How many lovers of good reading know that the most human of all epics lie untouched on the shelves of the public libraries?
43381How shouldst thou stay alone after I have gone up?
43381How then butter thy bread?"
43381How then should I be fortunate?"
43381If I go abroad, how will ye all live?
43381Is aught weighing on thee?"
43381Is her pen strong?"
43381Is there no lawyer to help thee?"
43381Knowest thou me?"
43381Malcolm asked:"Does the woman still make her rhymes with you?"
43381May I choose them from this ship?"
43381Nay, the winter is open: why may they not fall upon us now?"
43381Now Kiartan had stood by and heard all that, and he said:"So thou goest out again with thy friends?"
43381Now canst thou have the heart that men should die longer on our rocks, and we not do our best to save them?"
43381Now let me ask thee, why didst thou stop shooting then; and why didst thou not slay me here as I lay?"
43381Now may I go with Sweyn, or wilt thou put me off yet another time?"
43381Now once more I ask: What hast thou to say to me?
43381Now who has split the wood that lieth here, and piled it against the house?
43381Now wilt thou be ruled by me?"
43381Of course thou badst him come?"
43381On a sudden Frodi started back from the bill, and clutched at the clothes on his breast, and cried:"Heard ye how it hummed even then?"
43381On what thought dost thou sustain thyself?"
43381Once Frodi saw Rolf as he watched them working, and the smith said,"Thou takest pleasure in the sight?"
43381Ondott cried:"What is thy thought?
43381One night Rolf asked him:"Why is it that thou art to answer for that deed which my uncle has done?"
43381Rolf asked,"Rememberest thou what jewels Grani wore, or his father, or Helga, that time when they went away?"
43381Rolf asked:"Was their master worth devotion?"
43381Rolf rose, and came to him, and said:"Wherefore didst thou not slay me?"
43381Rolf said to them:"Why linger ye here?
43381Said Ar:"So those two have their freedom in the end?"
43381Said Einar:"What dost thou here with that great weapon at our feast, where no man comes in war?
43381Said Grani:"Rolf awaited this turn of fortune, and why should he lay up food for us?"
43381Said he:"Lord Bishop, are all manslayings sinful?"
43381Says Rolf:"What hast thou to say to me for the wounding of my house- carles?"
43381Seekest thou to take up the feud for this land?"
43381Seest thou, Grani, why no Icelander loves thy land?"
43381Shall I spare thee now?"
43381Shall I utter it?"
43381Shall they die here under the knife?"
43381Shall we not hold the feast?"
43381Since when are Icelanders enthralled in the Orkneys, and why is this injustice?"
43381So Grani did not press Rolf to stay in the hall, and he asked:"Where will ye live?"
43381That lesson which Rolf set me, now I follow; I can not resist him, save to my death, and what then would become of my father and of thee?"
43381That was Kolbein the son of Flosi, and he asked:"May I speak what is in my mind?"
43381The shipmaster asks:"Those two who walk there are thy thralls?"
43381Then Einar said to Ondott:"Where were thy wits?
43381Then Helga said:"Is this all thou didst learn in the Orkneys, thus to meet the fate which thou hast brought upon thyself?"
43381Then Hiarandi asked:"For what reason can I ask a stay?"
43381Then he asked:"Wilt thou go with me and shoot an arrow before witnesses, to prove that my father was unlawfully slain?"
43381Then he turned to Snorri, and said,"Shall we not go to the feast?"
43381Then night fell, and they spoke of many things; at last Einar asked his son:"What said to thee Kolbein son of Flosi, there ere our roads parted?"
43381Then one of the men asked:"Is the tide coming or going?"
43381Then the shipmaster said:"Didst thou say thou wouldst set them free?"
43381Thou knowest all that is to be done?"
43381Wast thou indeed outlaw of the Earl?"
43381What are your names?"
43381What boy feels his blood stir at the mention of Grettir?
43381What change is on thee, that thou doest so?"
43381What didst thou see?"
43381What is the curse upon us, and can such a thing be true?"
43381What is this mound behind us?"
43381What is thy name?"
43381What sayest thou to that?"
43381What sayest thou, Kari?"
43381What sayest thou, Rolf?
43381What was that foolish tale of thine about a prophecy?
43381When thy honors fall away, and thou must take thy place like other men: how then wilt thou think of the doings of kings and earls?"
43381Whence did Ar take thee?"
43381Where is thy manhood?
43381Which in the end shall bear most woe?"
43381Who among us hath had such training?
43381Who knows where he is?
43381Why didst thou sleep so ill?"
43381Why may I not stay with thee?"
43381Wilt thou follow my redes?"
43381Wilt thou not go with me?"
43381Wouldst thou go in her?"
43381Wouldst thou have me less than a man in fact?"
43381Yet what dost thou with that bow, which is so handsome that man never saw finer, yet which no one in these islands has yet strung?"
43381asked Rolf at once,"and what kind was their following, whether fighting- men or not?"
598And I have a great inclination,said he,"to take such; but are ye Christian men?"
598And art thou wounded any way?
598And hast thou been in the battle too?
598And how great wouldst thou like thy corn land to be?
598And how many wouldst thou have?
598And who,asked the king,"is the man thou wilt take with thee as thy attendant?"
598Art thou the skald?
598Art thou wounded?
598Brage, Odin''s counsellor, now wakes, as a great din is heard without, and calls out:--''What is that thundering? 598 But we are told that here the seasons are good; and wilt thou, farmer, sell us corn?
598Can he tell us anything about Earl Hakon?
598Did I not say,said the king,"that the help of my lendermen would be needed?"
598Dost thou know of any king,said he,"who made so great a capture in so short a time?"
598Dost thou think thou art held in less esteem by me than thou wouldst like to be?
598Hast thou not heard,said he,"that I am a physician?
598Hast thou observed anything whatever that has made an impression on thee at which thou art ill pleased?
598How came that misfortune?
598How camest thou to be so bold as to have my child baptized before I knew anything about it?
598How many wouldst thou like to have?
598I think so,replies Asbjorn;"and what is thy opinion, cousin?"
598Is it then, brother,says King Eystein,"that you would like to travel out of the country, and augment your dominions as our father did?"
598Is it, then, that any man here in the country has offended?
598Odin wakes in the morning and cries, as he opens his eyes, with his dream still fresh in his mind:--''What dreams are these? 598 Quoth Sigmund:--''Why didst thou rob him, the chosen king of victory then, seeing thou thoughtest him so brave?''
598Sigmund answers:--''Why lookest thou more for Eirik, the king, to Odin''s hall, than for other kings?'' 598 That is great news, and worth being told; but what now is thy errand here?"
598The sovereign''s decision must be right,says Thorarin;"but what does the king require of me?"
598Then I would like to know if you have dreamt anything that has occasioned this depression of mind?
598Then fate has given great honour to Leif,says Thrand;"but is there any other way in which I can be of service?"
598Then,said Hjalte,"what would be thy answer, if the Norway king Olaf sent messengers to thee with the errand to propose marriage to thee?"
598Then,said the king,"tell me, ye good chiefs, what may have been the meaning of that law- case which Emund laid before us yesterday?"
598Thoughtful, said Hakon,''Tell me why Ruler of battles, victory Is so dealt out on Stord''s red plain? 598 What is he then?"
598What is that,cried King Olaf,"that broke with such a noise?"
598What is thy name?
598What kind of kingdom is that,said the king,"which I can give to Harald, that I may possess Denmark entire?"
598What says the old man?
598Who urges thee, who seek''st renown, The bondes''cattle to cut down? 598 Why art thou so pale,"says the earl,"and now again black as earth?
598Why,replied the earl,"hast thou not Denmark, as King Magnus, thy predecessor, had it?"
598Wilt thou then adopt Christianity, and come into my service?
598''And is it not as well dealt out?''
598''Hearest thou not the shout?
598:--"Has the news reached you?--have you heard Of the great fight at Hafersfjord, Between our noble king brave Harald And King Kjotve rich in gold?
598Afterwards the king said,"Wilt thou enter into my service?"
598Among other things he heard a man say,"How did Asbjorn behave when you discharged his vessel?"
598And Arnor says:--"Olaf''s avenger who can sing?
598And art thou come here in such force with that expectation?
598And he also says:--"Who is the man who''ll dare to say That Sigurd''s son avoids the fray?
598And if I must believe in a God, why not in the white Christ as well as in any other?
598And, turning to Halfdan, he asked,"And what wouldst thou like best to have?"
598Are there any men who displease thee?"
598Art thou sick, or art thou angry at any one?"
598Art thou wounded?
598As he was going to mass he said to Thorarin,"Is not the sun high enough now in the heavens that your friend Asbjorn may be hanged?"
598At the mast they saw two very large casks; and Fin asked,"What are these puncheons?"
598Bjorn answered,"Since thou makest so light of this business in thy speech, wilt thou go with me?
598But are all the Jomsborg vikings dead?"
598But if I accept of this offer, what will he give King Harald Sigurdson for his trouble?"
598But who owns the large ships on the larboard side of the Danes?"
598But why is there no one to bring proposals for a peace between you and King Olaf the Thick?
598By land or sea, in field or wave, What can withstand this earl brave?
598Do you not consider that the king may be exasperated against you?
598Does he wish to rule over all the countries of the North?
598Dost thou call him God, whom neither thou nor any one else can see?
598Dost thou think it would be advisable?"
598Earl Einar sang the following song the evening before he went into this battle:--"Where is the spear of Hrollaug?
598Erling replies,"Is this according to the law of the holy Olaf?
598Erling replies,"It was most likely to be thee who hast behaved so foolishly; or is there any one who is pursuing thee?"
598Fin says,"Why do n''t you give us something to drink then, comrade, since you have so much liquor?"
598Gyda replies,"Wilt thou have me if I choose thee?"
598Gyrger said,"Why did you not let other people see it?"
598Haldor took up the banner, and said foolishly,"Who will carry the banner before thee, if thou followest it so timidly as thou hast done for a while?"
598Halfred says,"if I am to be named the composer of difficulties, what cost thou give me, king, on my name- day?"
598Halfred speaks thus about it:--"Does Olaf live?
598Harald took it in his hands and said,"Where is the gold, friend Magnus, that thou canst show against this piece?"
598Has he the hungry ravens fed?
598Have we not well deserved to gain?''
598Have ye not heard how the king''s sword Punished the traitors to their lord?
598He also composed the following:--"The time that breeds delay feels long, The skald feels weary of his song; What sweetens, brightens, eases life?
598He came with a fully manned boat, looked at the skins, and then said to the steersman,"Wilt thou give me a present of one of these gray- skins?"
598He hailed the ship,"Where is the earl?"
598He replied,"Sir, who are you?"
598He says,"Thou art a good swimmer; but art thou expert also in other exercises?"
598He struck the priest so hard that he swooned; but when he recovered he said,"Why are ye playing so roughly with me?"
598His deadly weapon Olaf bold Dyed red: why should not this be told?"
598How lives he there?
598How the king''s thralls hung on the gallows Old Thorer and his traitor- fellows?"
598Hrorek said,"Why should we live longer as mutilated men with disgrace?
598Is it a man or a bird?
598Is it true, sire, what is told me, that thou hast the intention of marrying, and of driving away thy queen, and taking another wife?"
598Is there any girl here, or in any other country, to whom thy affections are engaged?"
598Is there any man upon the Thing who can say who has done it?"
598Karl replies,"Dost thou not know that the kings were fighting all night?"
598King Harald Sigurdson said to the earl,"Who was the man who spoke so well?"
598Must love be paid for by our grief?
598Now Eyvind Skreyja called out,"Does the king of the Norsemen hide himself, or has he fled?
598Now I will ask thee, what kings are these that follow thee from the clash of the sword edges?''
598Now when she came to where Olaf stood she looked at him straight in the face, and asked"what sort of man he was?"
598Now, king, may I entreat thy favour and friendship in time to come?"
598Now, sire, what is your judgment?"
598Olaf says,"What wilt thou give me, earl, if for this time I let thee go, whole and unhurt?"
598Once, in a conversation, Hjalte said to her,"May I be permitted, daughter of the king, to tell thee what lies in my mind?"
598One of the horsemen said,"Is Earl Toste in this army?"
598One of them turned to Thormod, looked at him, and said,"Why art thou so dead- pale?
598Or art thou doubtful if thou hast right on thy side in the strife with thine enemies?
598She replies,"Sire, what have I to give him?"
598She takes this up with great warmth; but can she lead her son out of the business with the same splendour she is leading him into it?
598Sigurd:"Do you remember that I could drag you under water, when we swam together, as often as I pleased?"
598Sigvat composed these lines at that time:--"I ask the merchant oft who drives His trade to Russia,''How he thrives, Our noble prince?
598Sigvat sang:--"My coal- black eyes Dost thou despise?
598So says the"Vellekla":--"Who before has ever known Sixteen earls subdued by one?
598Strewed o''er with broken mail and shields, Where our king fell,--our kind good king, Where now his happy youthful spring?
598Styrkar asks him,"Wilt thou sell thy coat, friend?"
598Styrkar replies,"If I were a Northman, what wouldst thou do?"
598Sveinke replies,"What condition is better than this?
598The Northman asks,"Why dost thou not inquire of me such things as I have asked thee about?"
598The bonde replies,"Should you not rather give this money for the soul- mulct of your own men?"
598The earl asked,"Art thou ready at last, Thorkel?"
598The earl replies,"Can the whelp rule over life and quarter?"
598The earl replies,"What hast thou done, Bjorn, that the king wishes thy death?
598The earl woke him, and asked him"what he was dreaming of?"
598The earl:"Is she here?"
598The folk full- dressed, while I am sad, Talk and oppose-- can I be glad?"
598The following day Hjalte said to Bjorn,"Why art thou so melancholy, man?
598The king answers,"Who is this brave man who replies to my offer?
598The king asked,"But why didst thou call him Magnus, which is not a name of our race?"
598The king asked,"How old a man art thou, Thorer?"
598The king asked,"what was the matter?"
598The king asks,"What is thy appeal case?"
598The king asks,"What proof hast thou of the truth of this?"
598The king asks,"Who is the chief who dares to betray the country and me?"
598The king awoke, and said,"Why did you waken me, Fin, and did not allow me to enjoy my dream?"
598The king cast his eyes upon him, and said,"What now is in the way?"
598The king laughed, as if he found amusement in vexing him.--"Wilt thou accept thy life, then, from thy she- relation Thorer?"
598The king looked at him, and said,"Art thou here, Erling?"
598The king observed his terror and said,"What is this, Svein?
598The king replied,"How came it that he did not get it, if he had a right to it?"
598The king replies,"How can ye believe such nonsense?"
598The king replies,"We are not afraid of these soft Danes, for there is no bravery in them; but who are the troops on the right of the Danes?"
598The king replies,"What do you mean, Aslak?
598The king replies,"What do you propose for obtaining this agreement?"
598The king replies,"What else but flesh- meat?"
598The king replies,"Why art thou in so great a haste, and where art thou going?"
598The king replies,--"What then is your advice,--if I am neither to divide my kingdom, nor to get rid of my fright and danger?"
598The king said to her,"When did you ever hear a noble lady say so to a bishop without giving him something?"
598The king said,"Do you think, bonde, that betokens anything?"
598The king said,"Hast thou killed the earl?"
598The king said,"Hast thou killed the earl?"
598The king said,"Runnest thou away, Ulf the coward?"
598The king said,"What would you do with it?"
598The king said,"Wilt thou now, Eyvind, believe in Christ?"
598The king says,"What will my relation King Magnus Sigurdson have?
598The king says,"Who is that venerable man riding on a white horse at the head of the troop?"
598The king says,"Why is he not put to death?"
598The king--"What meanest thou?"
598The king:"And where wast thou, Kalf?"
598The king:"But if it be so, Aslak?"
598The king:"Is he then a thief, or a robber?"
598The king:"Thinkest thou, Erling, to make me afraid?
598The king:"Wilt thou, then, if thy relation Magnus gives thee quarter?"
598The king:"Would you like to go to other chiefs or to other men?"
598Then Dale- Gudbrand stood up, and said,"Where now, king, is thy god?
598Then Earl Eirik came up, and asked,"Who is that handsome man?"
598Then Einar said"What is that I see upon the isle of Rinansey?
598Then Freyvid asked Emund,"Who, in your opinion, should we take for king, in case Olaf Eirikson''s days are at an end?"
598Then Hild spake these lines:--"Think''st thou, King Harald, in thy anger, To drive away my brave Rolf Ganger Like a mad wolf, from out the land?
598Then King Olaf was enraged, and answered in a passion,"Why should I care to have thee, an old faded woman, and a heathen jade?"
598Then King Sigurd replies,"Do you remember that I was always able to throw you when we wrestled, although you are a year older?"
598Then Sveinke said,"There must be some great change if the king speaks agreeably to me; but why should I fly the country and my properties?
598Then he called aloud,"Why do ye strike so gently that ye seldom cut?"
598Then he placed himself before his relation Harald, holding two sticks in his hand, and said,"Which of these two sticks wilt thou have, my friend?"
598Then said Fin,"What was the dream, sire, of which the loss appears to thee so great that thou wouldst rather have been left to waken of thyself?"
598Then said Kar of Gryting,"What does the king mean by doing so?
598Then said King Eystein,"Why are the people so silent?
598Then said King Harald,"Wilt thou accept of life and safety, although thou hast not deserved it?"
598Then said King Olaf,"Dost thou not apprehend that thou art in that condition that, hereafter, there can be neither victory nor defeat for thee?"
598Then said King Olaf,"What means that which Emund said about Atte the Dull?"
598Then said Sigurd Sigurdson,"Shall we let the king kill this man?"
598Then said Sigvat to Thord,"What wilt thou rather do, comrade, waken the king, or tell him the tidings?"
598Then said the earl,"How wouldst thou like it, my cousin, if Olaf king of Norway were to pay his addresses to thee?
598Then said the earl,"Vagn, wilt thou accept life?"
598Then said the king to Kalf,"Where is the spot at which the king fell?"
598Then said the king,"Are you ready, bishop, for your voyage?"
598Then said the king,"To whom are these words of reproach and mockery applied?"
598Then said the king,"What house is that which stands up there, not far from the Sound?"
598Then said the king,"What would thy axe have done, for even this one, I think, is spoilt?"
598Then said the king,"Wilt thou enter into my service, Erling?"
598Then the king called to him Halfdan and Guthorm; and first he asked Guthorm,"What wouldst thou like best to have?"
598Then the king made these verses:--"Can not the foreign knight abide Our rough array?--where does he hide?"
598Then the king said,"Thou art taking this much to heart, bonde; what is it they say?"
598Then the king said,"What council shall we take in this dangerous affair that is in our hands?
598Then the king said,"Who is that fellow I see standing at the church with a skin jacket on?"
598Then the king says to Harald,"And what wouldst thou like best to have?"
598Then the man accosted him again,"Thou requirest compassion?"
598Then the nurse- girl looked him in the face, and said,"Dreadfully pale is this man-- why art thou so?"
598Then the priest Sigurd asked him the reason, saying,"Why are you so cheerful, sir?
598They halted there; and Eyvind Olboge said,"How, sire, do you intend to direct the march?
598They met at Foxerne; and when he was drawing up his men in battle order he asked,"Where is Giparde?"
598Thorarin Nefiulfson replies,"Sire, would you not call it murder to kill a man in the night- time?"
598Thorer replies,"Is there any Christian man, king, in thy following, who stands so high in the air as we two brothers?"
598Thorer stood in the forecastle of his ship, and Sigurd Ulstreng called out to him, and asked,"Art thou well, Thorer?"
598Thorer:"How near is thy relationship to Erling?"
598Thormod:"Wast thou in the battle, too?"
598Thou hast not the intention to betray me?"
598Thrand heard this, and said,"Do you not think, Leif, the silver is good?"
598Towards evening the king called him, and said,"Who set thee on, Aslak Hane, to speak such free words to me in the hearing of so many people?"
598What is there to give the bishop?"
598What king before e''er took such pride To scatter bounty far and wide?
598When came to the end Harald asked,"Had I hold of the saddle- girths now?"
598When he came before the king, the king asked him,"Who owns the house thou art dwelling in?"
598When he fell the king said,"Was it not true, Thorgeir, what I told thee, that thou shouldst not be victor in our meeting?"
598When he perceived how it was, and that none dared to accost the king, he asked,"What is it, sire, that is smoking on the dish before you?"
598When the people who suffered under these disturbances came to the king and complained to him of their losses, he replied,"Why do ye tell me of this?
598When they came into the house in which light was burning the footboy said,"Have you hurt yourself that you are all over so bloody?"
598When they came on board the ship Havard asked,"Who fell by that shaft?"
598When they met, Onund Simonson asked,"Have ye any news of Erling Skakke, that ye are running so fast?"
598Where did the sea- king first draw blood?
598Where is now the golden helmet?"
598Who has seen all Norway''s land Conquered by one brave hero''s hand?
598Who is the man among us here of any consideration who has not some great injury from him to avenge?
598Why banish Nefia''s gallant name- son, The brother of brave udal- men?
598Why did you not consider, before you gave your promise to this adventure, that you had no power to stand against King Olaf?
598Why dost thou not call for the help of the wound- healers?"
598Why is thy cruelty so fell?
598Why, Harald, raise thy mighty hand?
598Will Lund''s earl halt his hasty flight, And try on land another fight?
598Will he eat up all the kail in England?
598Will he not sacrifice?"
598Wilt thou betray me?"
598Wilt thou call me a thief?"
598Wilt thou drive me out of the country?
598Wilt thou now take life and peace?"
598Wilt thou take England now?
598Would he be a Dane?"
598and dost thou not see that some trick has been played upon thee?"
598and would it not be better to get out of the way?"
598or have you gone to work more arbitrarily in this than is written down in the lawbook?"
598or is he dead?
598or to die for the holy cause of Christianity and our own office, by preventing that which is not right?
598to dare to call thyself King Magnus Barefoot''s son?"
598what do you think it is?"
598what seat here shall he take For the king''s honour-- not his sake?
598who urges thee to break Thy pledged word, and back to take Thy promise given?
598with a coat without arms, and a kirtle with skirts, wilt thou drive me out of the country?
33999''What like is he?'' 33999 A child?"
33999A message?
33999Adam,she cried,"have n''t you children enough of your own, but you must needs take other folks''?"
33999Ah, Greeba,said Jacob, in a tone of sorrowful reproach,"why ever did you go way without warning, and leave us all so racked with suspense?
33999Aisy, man, aisy, what''s the odds?
33999All the time he was away?
33999All these miles? 33999 Alone?"
33999Am I then afraid?
33999Am I? 33999 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who?
33999And Isaac, his father, said unto him: Who art thou? 33999 And did you say that she had lost her husband?"
33999And did_ you_ pay fourteen per cent.?
33999And have you been saving it up for me?
33999And have you waited through these two long years,he said,"for the day and the hour when you might reveal yourself to him?"
33999And he robbed you of her love?
33999And her husband was an Icelander, and he is dead, you say?
33999And how long have you lived in this house?
33999And if I refuse to do so you mean to publish it abroad that I have married a wicked woman?
33999And maybe_ you''ve_ paid back your dirty five- and- twenty pound that Stean threatened to sell you up for?
33999And now it''s mine, is n''t it, to do as I like with it?
33999And that is your condition?
33999And the whole sum of the prisoner''s offence, so far as you know of it, lies in the use of the words that you have repeated?
33999And what home if you please?
33999And what if she has? 33999 And what is that?"
33999And what man, pray?
33999And what of that?
33999And what''s your name, my sweet one?
33999And when does the bell on the ship answer it?
33999And when you were sent to Grimsey there was nothing before you but a cure of less than a hundred souls?
33999And where have you been this many a day?
33999And why not?
33999And why,she cried,"why should I marry you while loving him?"
33999And would you really like to go to London, Greeba ven?
33999And you ask me to part from her forever? 33999 And you killed him?"
33999And you know that when I first came to Iceland it was not to join the Latin school, but on an errand of mercy?
33999And you?
33999And_ you_, as well?
33999And_ you_, too, said Jacob?
33999And_ you_?
33999Any call for them nearer, Davy?
33999Any mill nearer than old Moore''s at Sulby, and Callow''s wife''s down at Laxey?
33999Are n''t you very proud of yourself, Jason?
33999Are n''t you very proud of yourself, Jason?
33999Are n''t you, then?
33999Are you leaving her behind you to be a burden on the parish?
33999Are you quite alone?
33999Are you sure of that, Greeba?
33999Are you then to be nothing in Iceland?
33999Are you there, Jason?
33999Are you thinking of someone else?
33999Are you well? 33999 As bondman to the law instead of me?
33999At what hour to- morrow night?
33999Aw, and safe, too,said Jacob,"for what for should we be going disgracing our own sister?
33999Aw, bad cess, what jeel is this?
33999Aw, what''s disgrace to a craythur same as that? 33999 Aw, when did we say so?"
33999Before he returns?
33999Before you were born?
33999Betray you?
33999Brave, is it? 33999 Burnt it?"
33999But how much?
33999But should I see the carriages, and the ladies on horseback, and the shops, and the little girls in velvet-- should I, eh?
33999But should we remember?
33999But tell us who and what is this other man? 33999 But the old mother is dead, is she not?"
33999But what about the girl?
33999But what have I to fear?
33999But what if the dream came true?
33999But what is her message to me?
33999But what was his name?
33999But what''s your name, my lad?
33999But what''s your own name?
33999But where was the dishonor to me in my wife knowing this poor lad, Greeba?
33999But where? 33999 But who''ll go?"
33999But why may I not speak of this pardon?
33999But why not you yourself, Jason?
33999But why not?
33999But why, my girl? 33999 But why?
33999But why?
33999But will you promise me?
33999But, first, will you pardon_ me_?
33999Ca n''t you see he''s ill?
33999Can I pardon him?
33999Can it be possible,he thought,"that I intend to smite him down when he comes through that doorway by her side?
33999Can we recall him, and have him tried afresh by the Court of the Quarter or the High Court of Justice?
33999Can you make it out, Davy?
33999Can you trust me?
33999Choose?
33999Davy, do we put into the harbor at Ramsey?
33999Davy, what do you make of it?
33999Davy,he cried, with the white teeth still going,"are there many corn mills this side of the island?"
33999Dead?
33999Dearest,he whispered,"my darling, love of my life, however could I leave you so long?"
33999Delirious, love? 33999 Did I faint?"
33999Did Marky the Lord lend you the money?
33999Did he die in your childhood?
33999Did he tell you?
33999Did n''t know it? 33999 Did n''t you know that before?"
33999Did n''t you know that before?
33999Did this old priest impose it?
33999Did ye give her that crown piece?
33999Did ye see when I gave him the letter?
33999Did you know of it while you were still in the Isle of Man?
33999Did you say a foreigner?
33999Did you think you would never see it again? 33999 Do the sun fall down eve''y day, father?"
33999Do they concern Michael Sunlocks?
33999Do they know your prisoner from another man?
33999Do you believe that?
33999Do you hear it? 33999 Do you hear that, you people?"
33999Do you know,said the priest,"that any day, at any hour, the sailors from yonder ship may come to execute my poor prisoner?"
33999Do you know?
33999Do you like it so much?
33999Do you not believe I''ve told you the truth?
33999Do you rather trust my brothers, who have deceived you?
33999Do you refuse to take me in?
33999Do you think I do n''t see through your paltry schemes? 33999 Do you think, now, if I should be a long time away-- years it may be, perhaps many years-- we should ever forget each other, we two?"
33999Does he know I am here?
33999Does he know of her disgrace?
33999Does he know we have met?
33999Does n''t it seem as if Fate meant us to come together-- you and I? 33999 Does she know my way?"
33999Does_ he_ know of that?
33999Even so, what then?
33999Even so,said Adam,"would you see the child want before that, or drive her into any marriage, no matter what?"
33999Ever known any of my countrymen on the island?
33999Excuse me,he said,"will you sign the pardon now, or leave it until the morning?"
33999Faint, love?
33999Father, where does the night go when we are asleep?
33999Father, where is she?
33999Father,he said,"how much is it?"
33999Forget? 33999 Found much?"
33999From whom, then?
33999Go?
33999God bless me, what''s this?
33999Gone? 33999 Gone?
33999Gone?
33999Gone?
33999Good gracious, my lord,said the little spokesman,"are we to wait until the knife itself has been reddened?"
33999Gracious heavens, my lord,cried the little spokesman,"what reason have we to assume that this prisoner is ignorant of either?
33999Greeba, may I come in?
33999Greeba, why did he go there? 33999 Greeba, you do not know this man-- this Jason?"
33999Greeba,he added, in another tone,"why should you say you did not know Jason?"
33999Greeba,he cried,"what has happened?"
33999Has he gone?
33999Has he never spoken of her?
33999Has he wronged you also?
33999Has the wreck taken all?
33999Have I been delirious?
33999Have n''t you heard it yet?
33999Have they ever been here before?
33999Have you any more, father?
33999Have you any more?
33999Have you any valid plea?
33999Have you anything against him?
33999Have you carried me all the way?
33999Have you forgotten the death of Patricksen?
33999Have you never yet met with him?
33999Have you no sister?
33999He is a hard man-- do you know who he is?
33999He was nothing to you-- no?
33999He?
33999Here it is,he said;"what shall I do with it?"
33999His name is Michael Sunlocks, is n''t it? 33999 His wife?
33999His wife?
33999How are they going on in the old country? 33999 How can you torture a poor dying man?"
33999How comes it that this sweet little man and I have never met before?
33999How could I sleep away my time like this with so much to do?
33999How far do we lie outside?
33999How gone?
33999How is it that Red Jason has gone to prison? 33999 How is that?"
33999How is this? 33999 How is your father?
33999How long has it taken you to earn-- to get it?
33999How many hours since we left Krisuvik?
33999How much has it cost you?
33999How much more have you?
33999How should I know?
33999How?
33999How?
33999I''m going now, but----"Why?
33999Iceland? 33999 If I am doing well, why do I tremble?"
33999If this Court should agree to ship you out of Iceland will you promise never more to return to it?
33999Ill? 33999 Is he alive?"
33999Is he for showing us the door, too?
33999Is he then so young?
33999Is it the Isle of Man on the starboard bow, Davy?
33999Is it true that you have been lying in wait to kill the President?
33999Is it true that you have done so from a desire for personal vengeance?
33999Is it true?
33999Is she dying?
33999Is she not so still?
33999Is the matter of such pressing importance?
33999Is the sun still shining?
33999Is there no other way?
33999Is this true?
33999Is_ this_ what_ you_ have come for?
33999It may be very laughable to you that I''m going away----"But is n''t it to you? 33999 It''s fourteen years of your life, is it not?"
33999It''s nothing,he said;"nothing, love, nothing----""What have they told you?"
33999Jason, is he ill?
33999Jason, tell me, is he dying?
33999Jason,she cried,"What harm has he ever done you?
33999Jason,she was saying,"why are you here?"
33999Jason?
33999Jason?
33999Lied?
33999Like it?
33999Lived there long, Davy?
33999Marrying, is it?
33999May I mention its purport?
33999Me?
33999Michael Sunlocks?
33999Michael what?
33999Michael, my dear, noble Michael, I have something to say; will you not hear me?
33999Michael,she cried,"what has the Lagmann gone for?"
33999Michael,she cried,"what is it that you are about to do?
33999Michael,she said,"what lie have these men told you?
33999Mine?
33999Money thrown away, is it? 33999 Must she go back to Lague?
33999My good lad, how can you say so? 33999 My lad, my brave lad,"cried Sunlocks,"what are you saying?
33999My risk? 33999 Never?"
33999No one belonging to you?
33999No relations?
33999None of you?
33999Nor brother?
33999Not for a moment? 33999 Not more?"
33999Not the lad Jason?
33999Nothing else-- no crime?
33999Nothing else?
33999Nothing?
33999Now, love, what did I say?
33999Of what craft?
33999Oh, Michael, Michael, what are you going to do?
33999Oh, what have I done that two brave men should love me?
33999Oh, what is this that is coming over me?
33999On my father?
33999Or both?
33999Or from political motives?
33999Orry?
33999Oscar?
33999Ot''s blind?
33999Ot''s the name of_ your_''ickle boy?
33999Pardon for that man?
33999Patricksen?
33999Poor or rich, I say again,''What do you want?''
33999Quick, which of you is it to be? 33999 Remember?
33999Ruth, do you refuse to take me in?
33999Ruth,said Adam once more,"do you refuse to take me in?"
33999Say you love somebody, and all your heart is full of her? 33999 See how simple are the wise?
33999See what?
33999Shetlands?
33999Since the country is so fine I suppose you''ll stay a long while there?
33999So you believe that?
33999So you did n''t see it, old mole?
33999So you''ve had good sport?
33999So? 33999 Stay,"he said stiffly,"do you love anyone else?"
33999Stephen what?
33999Stephen-- Stephen Orry-- Stephen Orry-- wake up, man-- can''t you hear us? 33999 Sunday, love?
33999Sweden? 33999 That he is jealous of you, and in his madness has vowed to slay you?"
33999That he thinks you have stood in his place?
33999That may be so, your reverence,said Jason,"but who can be hard on the penitent and the dying?"
33999That she was his wife?
33999That this man claims to be your half- brother?
33999That''s very foolish, is n''t it?
33999The Isle of Man?
33999The little house behind the Missions, in front of the vats?
33999The new Governor?
33999The old Bishop?
33999The son''s name? 33999 Then he had wronged your mother?"
33999Then her husband is still at the mines?
33999Then his hair-- this long curly hair-- it must be of the color of the sun?
33999Then how much have you got?
33999Then what have you come for?
33999Then where is Michael Sunlocks?
33999Then where is your risk?
33999Then why are you driving him from the house?
33999Then why does n''t somebody go and tell its father?
33999Then why has n''t somebody set up a mill before now, Davy?
33999Then you do n''t regret it?
33999Then you do n''t regret it?
33999Then you have known him?
33999Then you have not lost her?
33999Then you have walked night and day across the desert?
33999Then you_ do n''t_ know, eh?
33999Then, Lagmann,said Michael Sunlocks,"will you see the needful papers drawn for my signature?"
33999Then, judges of Iceland, fellow- men and brothers, do you ask why I have brought this man to this place? 33999 There was, therefore, no direct violence?"
33999Time, love? 33999 To degrade yourself?"
33999To punish me?
33999To take me to Iceland?
33999To- day? 33999 Wait,"said Michael Sunlocks;"did you know of this vow before you accused him of an attempt upon me?"
33999Wait,said the Bishop,"your husband was not present?"
33999Want? 33999 Was he riding?"
33999Was it Stephen?
33999Was your crime so inhuman?
33999Was_ that_ why you came?
33999Well, Jason?
33999Well, Patricksen, and what''s the latest from the old country?
33999Well, and do you think a girl does n''t like foolishness?
33999Well, and what of that? 33999 Well, what of that?"
33999Well, what''s it saying?
33999Well, what''s to be done?
33999Well? 33999 Well?"
33999Well?
33999Were is he?
33999What accident has befallen him? 33999 What are they doing there?"
33999What are you saying?
33999What are you talking of, you silly?
33999What can she do here?
33999What d''ye mean?
33999What day is it-- Sunday?
33999What defence did he make?
33999What did he say?
33999What do you think, father?
33999What do you want?
33999What does this mean?
33999What does this mean?
33999What does this mean?
33999What else?
33999What has he done?
33999What have I done to deserve such happiness?
33999What have they come for?
33999What have they done with him?
33999What have you been doing?
33999What have you come for?
33999What interest?
33999What is he doing here? 33999 What is he?"
33999What is his name?
33999What is his name?
33999What is it troubles my little woman?
33999What is it, Ruth?
33999What is it, sir?
33999What is it, your Excellency?
33999What is it?
33999What is it?
33999What is it?
33999What is it?
33999What is it?
33999What is sets?
33999What is that you are burning?
33999What is that?
33999What is the color of his eyes?
33999What is the matter?
33999What man?
33999What matter?
33999What matter?
33999What of your mother?
33999What prisoner, your Excellency?
33999What then?
33999What time is it?
33999What time of day is it?
33999What was he?
33999What way?
33999What''s a matter of forty or fifty pounds to any of us, compared to doing what''s right by our own flesh and blood?
33999What''s going doing?
33999What''s his name?
33999What''s it saying? 33999 What''s that to you?"
33999What''s that?
33999What''s that?
33999What''s that?
33999What''s the name?
33999What''s this? 33999 What''s this?
33999What''s this?
33999What''s this?
33999What''s your father?
33999What? 33999 What?
33999What? 33999 What?
33999What?
33999What?
33999What?
33999What?
33999What?
33999Whatever do you mean?
33999When are they to build the lighthouse?
33999When did you do me a wrong?
33999When did you leave?
33999When do you make your next signal?
33999When was he sent?
33999When will you make the attempt?
33999When?
33999Where are we going, father? 33999 Where are you now, old mole?"
33999Where do you live with your mother?
33999Where have you been working, my lads?
33999Where have you been?
33999Where have you come from?
33999Where is he living now?
33999Where is he now?
33999Where is he now?
33999Where is he? 33999 Where is he?"
33999Where is he?
33999Where is he?
33999Where is my husband?
33999Where is she now?
33999Where is she?
33999Where is your father?
33999Where was that?
33999Where''s Quirk of Claughbane?
33999Where''s Stephen, to- night, that he''s not out with us at work same as this?
33999Where''s she gone?
33999Where''s the difference, you jackanapes? 33999 Where''s the use?"
33999Where''s your brother, Liza Joughan?
33999Where? 33999 Where?
33999Where?
33999Wherefore?
33999Who are they?
33999Who are you, sir, that you dare tempt men to murder?
33999Who cleans it?
33999Who d''ye mean?--Greeba?
33999Who did that?
33999Who is Rachel?
33999Who is he that he should forgive me? 33999 Who is he, I wonder?"
33999Who is he?
33999Who is it?
33999Who is it?
33999Who is it?
33999Who is it?
33999Who is she, I say? 33999 Who is she, this light o''love-- this baggage?"
33999Who is she?
33999Who is she?
33999Who is this other man?
33999Who says so?
33999Who sent you here?
33999Who to?
33999Who was he, Davy?
33999Who was it?
33999Who was that man?
33999Who?
33999Who?
33999Whose is it?
33999Whose son?
33999Whose voice was that?
33999Why Hafnafiord?
33999Why are the white birds sc''eaming?
33999Why are_ you_ here?
33999Why could n''t I leave things as they were?
33999Why did you not bring him with you?
33999Why do you ask to see him?
33999Why do you come to us?
33999Why foolish?
33999Why has he brought him here?
33999Why have you brought Michael Sunlocks here?
33999Why have you brought Michael Sunlocks here?
33999Why have you brought him here?
33999Why have you followed me?
33999Why have you followed_ him_?
33999Why is it that I can not see him?
33999Why not?
33999Why not?
33999Why not?
33999Why not?
33999Why not?
33999Why not?
33999Why proud?
33999Why see him? 33999 Why so late?"
33999Why so?
33999Why, Greeba, what is this?
33999Why, and have n''t you heard it?
33999Why, do you know, I set great store by that letter? 33999 Why, father, what can you mean?
33999Why, of all men in the town, is he the only one whom I can never meet face to face? 33999 Why,"said Jacob, with every accent of incredulity,"and is n''t he our brother, so to say, brought up in the house of our own father?"
33999Why?
33999Why?
33999Why?
33999Will no one stay instead of me?
33999Will you do it?
33999Will you promise to swear to this, when he shall have returned who should swear to it with you?
33999Will you promise?
33999Will you tell him why I would not?
33999Woman or man, where''s the difference here?
33999Works for, you wagtail?
33999Would I?
33999Would he not?
33999Would n''t you like to live in a house like this, little Sunlocks?
33999Yes, life is a fine lottery, is n''t it?
33999Yes, sir, do you know it?
33999Yes, who is he?
33999Yes?
33999Yes?
33999Yet where is she? 33999 You are to stay here?"
33999You believe I will keep to my bargain, come what may?
33999You do n''t know him?
33999You have never come from Jorgen Jorgensen?
33999You have never spoken to him?
33999You say that, do you?
33999You were chaplain at Reykjavik, but looking to be priest or dean, and perhaps bishop some day?
33999You were glad when I went away-- are you sorry that I have come back again?
33999You wo n''t take it?
33999You wo n''t tell me your name?
33999You would scarce think they could have the heart, these people-- you would scarce think it, would you?
33999Young, you say?
33999Your brother?
33999Your father''s mother? 33999 Your mother?"
33999Your wife is alive, is she not?
33999_ Dy banne Jee oo?_"God bless you! 33999 _ Is n''t_ he a boy?"
33999---- you,"he cried, thrusting his face into the man''s face,"shall I kill you after it?"
33999Adam sat agape for a moment, and then said, speaking as calmly as before,"What home, Ruth?
33999After awhile, Michael Sunlocks looked closely into Jason''s face again, and said,"What is your name?"
33999All the same he asked, and his landlady answered him:"Lord bless me,"she cried,"and have n''t you heard that the young Governor is to be wedded?"
33999And Adam, without waiting to explain, cried in the fervor of his emotion,"This is not your will, Asher?"
33999And Jason looked back at Jorgen as one who would answer,"Dare you remember that I spared your own life?"
33999And Sunlocks answered,"Who says I''m glad?
33999And do you intend-- no, it can not be-- and yet--_do_ you intend to die instead of him?"
33999And he has sailed for Iceland, has n''t he?
33999And if he denies me this justice, I''ll----""What?"
33999And in a voice quivering with emotion, the Judge said:"Do n''t you know the man you''ve brought here?"
33999And it''s something for a father to think of when his time comes, is n''t it?
33999And last of all came Thurstan, made well drunk for the better support of his courage, and he maudled and cried,"What d''ye think?
33999And old Iceland''s the fairest land the sun shines upon, eh?
33999And what is his age?"
33999And what life was there in this trackless waste, this mouldering dumb wilderness?
33999And what was your purpose?
33999And what were they but outlaws, both of them?
33999And when Jason was gone the Captain thought within himself,"What does this mean?
33999And when are they coming back?"
33999And where''s the fortune that was coming straight to our hand?"
33999And where''s the harm?
33999And who is this English woman that she should be the next thought in his head?"
33999And who was to disprove her word?
33999And why the message?
33999And yet you tell me that?
33999Answer me-- is it true?
33999Anything done yet?
33999Are we not going away together?"
33999Are you on her side, also?
33999Asher, Thurstan, Ross, you are my sons-- would you see me turned out of the house?"
33999At last the mad chorus of praise came to an end, and the sick man said, casting his weak eyes into the faces about him,"Has he come?"
33999At last, through the dense fumes within the house, Bella Coobragh noted Stephen''s absence, and"Where''s your man?"
33999At length he said,"What has the man done?"
33999Besides, how could I sleep?
33999But Greeba stood without moving, and said through her compressed lips,"How did you know that I was here?"
33999But Jonsson looked at Sunlocks with a curl of the lip and said,"What''s the use of a blind man?"
33999But can we not take the President''s message for what it claims to be, asking him for no reasons that concern us not?
33999But first answer me again, Do you trust me?"
33999But he did not turn aside for that, but looked searchingly into her face, and said,"He was nothing to you, was he?"
33999But how long, oh, how long?
33999But is he still alive?"
33999But my husband''s life was in danger, and what was I to do?"
33999But out at sea-- far out, half a league away-- what black thing was there?
33999But the Judge made no answer, and the Bishop said,"Why all this wrangling over the body of a dying man?"
33999But the other four said to themselves:"What about the pickings?"
33999But the tipsy comrade held him while he rattled on:"Been away-- foreign, eh?
33999But what am I saying again?
33999But what of that?"
33999But when the people[peo] p. 324: blind man?"
33999But where is your Michael Sunlocks?
33999But where is your wife?"
33999But which do you choose to be: The man who has the world at his feet or the man who lies at the feet of the world?"
33999But why hunt after these chances?
33999But you''ll never do it, girl?
33999By what right did he dare to come between this living soul and heaven?
33999Can it be true?"
33999Can you hear me?
33999Can you lend me the brass?
33999Certainly he could, but where was his license?
33999Church?
33999Could I ever know a moment''s happiness with my brother slaving like a beast at yonder mines?
33999Could he continue to stand in dread of the threat of his own wife?
33999Could he have a passage to Ireland?
33999Could he still do the thing he intended?
33999Could they see the mistress?
33999Dare you not tell the rest?"
33999Did any living soul ever hear the like in this island before?"
33999Did he hope to alter the name of President for Protector, or for something yet higher?
33999Did his ship sail for Reykjavik?
33999Did n''t you know, love?"
33999Did n''t you, father?"
33999Did she know what it was?
33999Did the President think to hasten the crisis that would lead to that change?
33999Did you say Iceland?"
33999Did you say that this was not my home?"
33999Did you think I would run away and leave you?
33999Do you ask me where''s the difference here?
33999Do you hear me?
33999Do you hear?--a woman?"
33999Do you know what that means?
33999Do you know what you are saying?"
33999Do you know whom I mean?
33999Do you promise?"
33999Do you think I would pay you for a thing like that?
33999Do you threaten me?"
33999Do you wish to go there?"
33999Eh, boys?
33999Eh?
33999Eh?
33999Eh?"
33999For a moment Greeba was silent, and then she said with her eyes down:"Why look for_ him_ if he wronged your mother?"
33999For threatening Michael Sunlocks?
33999Go to Sunlocks, and thereby break her word and the heart of Jason, or abide by Jason, and break her own heart and the hope of Sunlocks?
33999Greeba, do you remember your promise?
33999Growing up in such an atmosphere, with such an example always present to his eyes, what would the child become?
33999Had anyone seen him?
33999Had he been there?
33999Had he not brought this man out to his death?
33999Had it been only a blind tangle of passion and pain?
33999Had the coming of Greeba altered all?
33999Has he been here?"
33999Hate?
33999Have they changed you greatly?
33999Have you any money?"
33999Have you any reason to fear that the despatch will come to- day, or to- morrow, or the next day?
33999Have you burnt it up with the beds?"
33999Have you forgotten?
33999Have you heard that this Jason is my brother?"
33999Have you made any new friends?
33999Have you no bowels, that you''d keep the man out?"
33999Have you no pity for a wretched dying man?"
33999Have you understood me?"
33999He did not flinch, but repeated,"He was nothing to you then?"
33999He had heard the key turn in the lock, and said quietly,"Is that you, Sir Sigfus?"
33999He is coming, he is coming, and he is flesh of your flesh?
33999He put the book down, trying to compose himself, and then he thought,"How childish?
33999He was for going away, not knowing the fate that was before him, but on what plea made to his conscience dare he take her with him?
33999He was not in the house then?
33999He was ruining himself at a breakneck pace, and if he came to die in the gutter, who should say that it had not served him right?
33999Hearing this, Michael Sunlocks made first a cry of delight, and then said after a moment,"But what of this poor old priest?"
33999Heaven pity him, what was he to do?
33999Here still?"
33999Here?
33999His eyes overflowed, but his cheeks reddened, and he said--"What do I care, you stupid?
33999His father?
33999His name was Jorgen p. 151: it for Hafnafiord[Hafnafjord]?
33999How can he hate me for loving him to all lengths and ends of love?
33999How dare you?"
33999How long had he been away from Iceland?
33999How was he to be met with?
33999I''m a pagan, am I?
33999If what I have said were to occur, should I ever know another moment''s happiness?
33999In a space of rest Jason leaned on his shovel, wiped his brow, and said to his warder,"What was that man''s name?"
33999In the second moment of his consciousness Sunlocks said,"Do you think the judges will listen to us?"
33999Is he longing for you?
33999Is it as I say or is it not?
33999Is it like it is?"
33999Is it possible he is trying to lift a horse to its feet?"
33999Is my speech too thick?
33999Is n''t he, Davy?"
33999Is not this the time of Althing, and must I not leave Reykjavik for Thingvellir?
33999Is she with her father?
33999Is that it?
33999Is that it?"
33999Is that man a traitor?
33999Is the dear man well, and happy and prosperous?
33999Is the lad planning the man''s escape?
33999Is there no help for it?"
33999Is this what I have waited for all this weary, weary time?"
33999Is your mother still alive?"
33999It is your own country, is it not?
33999It was the woman, who at the sound of his voice had arisen from her drunken sleep, and now gasped,"Who is Rachel?"
33999It''s nothing to you, is it?
33999Jason paused, and said,"Have you anything against her?"
33999Jason?
33999Jorgen Jorgensen had recovered himself by this time, and pressing forward, he said with a cruel smile,"You fool; shall I tell you where he is?"
33999Jorgen looked at Jason as one who would say,"Dare you forget the two men whose lives you have taken?"
33999Keeping you from marrying that cheating knave?"
33999Later the same day she heard Sunlocks say to the priest,"Who was the lady who sang?"
33999Lord help us, what does the boy want with the time?
33999Love?
33999Married since?
33999May I give it up in favor of another man?"
33999Mercy me, what am I saying?
33999Michael Sunlocks lifted his face and said,"Why did you not tell me this long ago, Greeba, and not now when it is dragged from you?"
33999Michael, will you go to her?"
33999Michael, will you go?"
33999Might she not reveal herself?
33999Mine?"
33999Never?
33999Never?"
33999No?
33999No?
33999No?
33999No?
33999Not your own brother?"
33999Of what country?
33999Offence?
33999Oh, believe me, sir, trust me, sir, for I am a broken- hearted woman; and why should I not speak the truth?"
33999Oh, was it not horrible to think of-- that he should cross the seas for_ that_?
33999Oh, why did I ever come?
33999Old Mother Helda?"
33999Old Mother Orryson?"
33999Or have you never had the scribe of a line from him since he turned his back on you, four years ago?"
33999Or money?
33999Or was it for Hafnafiord?
33999Out?
33999She caught the look of sorrow in his eyes, and said,"But, Jason, what of yourself?"
33999She glanced down at his bleeding feet, and said,"on foot?"
33999She had become more eager at every question, and now she cried,"What has happened?
33999She hesitated again, and then tried to laugh,"Why, what should he be to me?"
33999She looked up into his face, and stammered,"But why?"
33999She ran to him, and cried,"Michael, husband, what have they told you?"
33999She was too quick for him, and cried,"What is it?
33999Ship- broken, maybe, in some foreign country?
33999Should he do it after all?
33999Should he give this man back to this woman?
33999Should he renounce his love and his hate together-- his love of this woman, his hate of this man?
33999Should she not speak?
33999Sleep?
33999So that was it, was it?
33999So that when Adam, having ended, said,"Now, will you not go to Iceland?"
33999So to Liza he said,"He may have sinned against the law, but what proof have you?
33999So with a wry face, that was all colors at once, Thurstan answered,"Aw, Greeba, woman, do you really think a poor man has got no feelings?
33999So, feeling very stupid, he said again,"But why proud?"
33999Suppose I were to go to the dear soul who calls for me, and the despatch came in my absence-- where would you be then?"
33999Suppose she were here, and they were to meet, dare he after all do_ that_?
33999Take little Sunlocks away?
33999Tell me why have you come?"
33999That after the mother died old Jorgen went about looking for you?
33999The good woman who is housekeeper here will lead you----""Why she?"
33999Then Adam turned to Ross,"And do you say the same?"
33999Then a loud involuntary murmur of dissent rose from the people, and at the same moment the Judge said in bewilderment,"What can your Excellency mean?"
33999Then facing about to Michael Sunlocks, he said,"It would n''t do to be known that the President of Iceland had married a bad woman-- would it?"
33999Then he turned to Jason again and repeated his question,"Why have you brought Michael Sunlocks here?"
33999Then he twisted his face over his shoulder and said:"Do as I do; d''ye hear?"
33999Then in a feebler voice he said,"Do you think, my lad, you''ll ever meet my son?"
33999Then it''s like you knew him, boy?"
33999Then the girls of old Iceland are best, eh?
33999Then there was a pause and a great hush, and the Bishop lifted his eyes from the book, and said--"Will you swear to it?"
33999Then what, as a father, had he done for him?
33999Then with eyes of hate she cried again,"Who is Rachel?"
33999There was a pause, and then Jason said, very tenderly,"Will you go, Sunlocks?"
33999There was another man?"
33999There was another moment''s silence, and then Sunlocks said,"Is that the condition of my going?"
33999Though she loved this man, could he still do_ that_?
33999To run into the lion''s mouth?"
33999To test me?"
33999Wanted?
33999Was he a seagoing man?
33999Was he throwing his sprat to catch a mackerel?
33999Was it because Greeba was back home that he wished to stay?
33999Was it for meal?
33999Was it for that the Governor wished him to go, needing him now no more?
33999Was it my life you thought to protect?
33999Was that for my sake?
33999We''ve got our bird in the hand, have n''t we?"
33999What about?
33999What angel of pleading had that very night been busy in his own memory with the story of his similar sufferings?
33999What are we that we should presume to it?"
33999What can it be?"
33999What chance could there be of escape from Iceland?
33999What chance had brought the poor man to his door that night?
33999What could he do?
33999What day is this?"
33999What devil of hell had made sport of him, to give him his enemy for his friend?
33999What did all this mean?
33999What did it matter to him how his struggle should end?
33999What did this hubbub mean?
33999What do you want?"
33999What does it all mean?"
33999What else was before him in this waste wilderness, where there was no drop of water to cool his hot forehead or moisten his parched tongue?
33999What evil did it bring to any creature that he was alive on that rock at the farthest ends of the earth and sea?
33999What good would the death of Sunlocks do to anyone?
33999What had come over him since he made that vow, that he was trying to draw back now?
33999What had he come to do?
33999What had this child done that he should take its life?
33999What has become of her?
33999What has the Captain always said?
33999What have I done?"
33999What have you been doing all this time?
33999What if the delirium were never to pass away?
33999What interest do you want?"
33999What is going to happen?
33999What is it to be?"
33999What is it?
33999What is she doing?"
33999What lowborn churl would dare to lift his eyes to the child of Jorgen Jorgensen?
33999What matter about the truth?
33999What of your good Michael Sunlocks now, sir?
33999What power outside himself was at work with him?
33999What price did I put on his head?
33999What say you?
33999What was Althing that it should submit to the whim or the will of any Governor?
33999What was Althing?
33999What was Jason''s?
33999What was he?
33999What was he?
33999What was his craft?
33999What was his name?
33999What was left to him?
33999What was she to do?
33999What was there to expect when jacks were set in office?
33999What was to be done?
33999What were they now, though sons of the Governor?
33999What''s it doing there by itself on the''ock, and c''ying, and c''ying, and c''ying?"
33999What''s that they''re callin''the ould King that''s going buryin''down Laxey way?"
33999What?
33999What?
33999What?
33999When are they coming?"
33999When did it do any harm to have two strings to your bow?"
33999When did the Almighty God tell_ him_ what the after life of this babe was to be?
33999When has he betrayed us?
33999When has mammon been his god?
33999When has pride been his bane?
33999Where are you going?"
33999Where are you?
33999Where have you lived to think it possible?
33999Where is he?"
33999Where is she?"
33999Where is your Michael Sunlocks, that I may tell it to him?
33999Where was Michael Sunlocks?
33999Where was her father?
33999Where was his petty hate?
33999Where was it?"
33999Where was this Michael Sunlocks?
33999Where were his miserable fears now?
33999Where were they going?
33999Where will he be?"
33999Where''s our account in that?"
33999Where''s the young man that fetched him ashore?
33999Where?"
33999Which is he?
33999Which is he?
33999Which was hate?
33999Which was love?
33999Who is he?
33999Who is he?"
33999Who is there to take him from me?
33999Who was he that he should rob it of what he could never give it again?
33999Who was the Governor that Althing should wait for him?
33999Who was this man that he should command his obedience?
33999Who were these men that had passed him?
33999Who will earn it?"
33999Who?"
33999Why did he wait?
33999Why did n''t they?"
33999Why do n''t you go, if you''re going?"
33999Why had he torn away from the Sulphur Mines?
33999Why had it not died?
33999Why had the child been born?
33999Why have you come?"
33999Why should he?
33999Why was he there?
33999Why was this?
33999Why were they going there?
33999Why, of all men here, am I the only one whom he has never seen?"
33999Why, what home but this?"
33999Why?
33999Why?
33999Why?
33999Why?"
33999Why?"
33999Why?"
33999Will he be there?"
33999Will no one save him?"
33999Will no one tell me?
33999Will you do it now?"
33999Will you do it?"
33999Will you do it?"
33999Will you do it?"
33999Will you do me a service?"
33999Will you go?"
33999Will you not make me one?"
33999Will you take it?"
33999Will you?
33999With a life to guard that is prized by friends and precious to the State shall we let this man go free who had sworn before witnesses to destroy it?"
33999With five hundred a year coming in for twenty years he was as poor as a church mouse?
33999Would Michael Sunlocks ever see him?
33999Would he come to be in her own charge?
33999Would his Excellency lend them ten men more to scour the country?
33999Would it not come at all?
33999Would not the good God take it back to Himself even now, in all the sweetness of his childhood?
33999Would she meet with her husband?
33999Would she see Red Jason?
33999Would the mistress know them?
33999Would they pass them by unseen as the Thing- men had passed them?
33999Would you believe it, he and his good old wife had n''t a bit or a sup for their Christmas dinner?"
33999Yes or no?"
33999Yes?
33999Yet how can you answer such a question?
33999Yet how should you know?"
33999Yet what was he now doing?
33999Yet who am I to rail at him?
33999Yet, what am I saying?
33999You know what followed?"
33999You lose her, and then where are you?"
33999You silly, silly boy, if we should not forget how ever could we fail to remember?"
33999You want five hundred pounds?"
33999You want five hundred pounds?"
33999and all our time go for nothing, and the land lying fallow for months, and the winter cabbage not down, and the men''s wages going on?"
33999and three sacks of sulphur as well?"
33999and"What does it mean?"
33999cried Jacob,"you never mean to say you are going to show an ungrateful spirit, Greeba, after all we''ve brought you?"
33999cried Jason,"and leave you here to die?"
33999cried the little spokesman, with a lofty look,"and set him at liberty in the meantime, to carry out the crime he threatens?"
33999he said,"the things of this world seem worthless, do they not, when we catch a glimpse into eternity?"
33999he thought,"am I to strike him down before her face and at the very foot of the altar?
33999said Jason, moodily,"who knows?"
33999said the Captain,"what have you been doing?"
33999said the priest;"who was she?"
33999she cried,"To prove me?
33999sweet, beautiful, blind fallacy-- could he not let it be?
33999what can this mean?"
