Gunnar.

Now, truly, are all things to my very mind! I have found thee again, Sigurd, my brave brother, as kind and true as of old. I have Örnulf’s son under my roof, and the old man himself follows speedily after; is it not so?

Thorolf.

So he promised.

Gunnar.

Then all I lack is that Egil should be here.

Thorolf.

’Tis plain thou lovest the boy, thou namest him so oft.

Gunnar.

Truly I love him; he is my only child; and he is like to grow up fair and kindly.
