CHAPTER CXLV.
OF KARI AND THORGEIR.
Those two, Kari Solmund's and Thorgeir Craggeir, rode that day east across Markfleet, and so on east to Selialandsmull. They found there some women. The wives knew them, and said to them—
"Ye two are less wanton than the sons of Sigfus yonder, but still ye fare unwarily."
"Why do ye talk thus of the sons of Sigfus, or what do ye know about them?"
"They were last night," they said, "at Raufarfell, and meant to get to Myrdale to-night, but still we thought they must have some fear of you, for they asked when he would be likely to come home."
Then Kari and Thorgeir went on their way and spurred their horses.
"What shall we lay down for ourselves to do now," said Thorgeir, "or what is most to thy mind? Wilt thou that we ride on their track?"
