"This is a bad business," he said.
"What help wilt thou give me out of my distress?" she asked.
He answered—"Take as much money as thou needest from what I have out at interest".
"Nay," she said, "I will not waste thy goods."
"I wish thee to get back my goods out of Hrut's hands," she answered.
"That, methinks, is not likely," said he, "when thy father could not get them back, and yet he was a great lawyer, but I know little about law."
She answered—"Hrut pushed that matter through rather by boldness than by law; besides, my father was old, and that was why men thought it better not to drive things to the uttermost. And now there is none of my kinsmen to take this suit up if thou hast not daring enough."
"I have courage enough," he replied, "to get these goods back; but I do not know how to take the suit up."
"Well!" she answered, "go and see Njal of Bergthorsknoll, he will know how to give thee advice. Besides, he is a great friend of thine."
