Rannveig said it was well that he fared abroad, for then they must find some one else to quarrel.
CHAPTER LXXIV.
KOLSKEGG GOES ABROAD.
Thrain Sigfus' son said to his wife that he meant to fare abroad that summer. She said that was well. So he took his passage with Hogni the white.
Gunnar took his passage with Arnfin of the Bay; and Kolskegg was to go with him.
Grim And Helgi, Njal's sons, asked their father's leave to go abroad too, and Njal said—
"This foreign voyage ye will find hard work, so hard that it will be doubtful whether ye keep your lives; but still ye two will get some honour and glory, but it is not unlikely that a quarrel will arise out of your journey when ye come back."
Still they kept on asking their father to let them go, and the end of it was that he bade them go if they chose.
Then they got them a passage with Bard the black, and Olaf Kettle's son of Elda; and it is the talk of the whole country that all the better men in that district were leaving it.
