An arranged marriage

      "Thjostolf rowed away up the fjord, while Thorvald's men shouted curses at him.  He made no reply, but carried on rowing until he reached home.  There he beached the boat and walked up to the house with his blood-smeared axe on his shoulder.
     "Hallgerd was outside.  'There is blood on your axe,' she said.  'What have you done?'
     "'I have now arranged that you can be married a second time [(Nú hefi ek þat at gǫrt . . . at þú munt gefin verða í ǫðru sinni)],' replied Thjostolf."
