After that they all ran out of the sheepcote, but Rodny went indoors with Njal, and was there the rest of the night.
CHAPTER CIV.
THE SLAYING OF LYTING'S BROTHERS.
Now we must speak of Skarphedinn and his brothers, how they bend their course up to Rangriver. Then Skarphedinn said—
"Stand we here and listen, and let us go stilly, for I hear the voices of men up along the river's bank. But will ye, Helgi and Grim, deal with Lyting single-handed, or with both his brothers?"
They said they would sooner deal with Lyting alone.
"Still," says Skarphedinn, "there is more game in him, and methinks it were ill if he gets away, but I trust myself best for not letting him escape."
"We will take such steps," says Helgi, "if we get a chance at him, that he shall not slip through our fingers."
Then they went thitherward, Where they heard the voices of men, and see where Lyting and his brothers are by a stream.
